Job description
About the Role
The Product Manager serves as a key execution partner across the Sports Media API portfolio, with a primary focus on U.S.-based sports products and content initiatives. The role turns portfolio strategy into action by defining requirements, managing priorities and backlogs, triaging product issues, coordinating delivery, and moving initiatives from discovery through launch. The position operates across multiple Sports Media products rather than a single sport or product line and supports day-to-day product ownership of major U.S.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and manage product roadmaps and backlogs for assigned initiatives and capabilities.
- Translate product and content strategy into requirements, priorities, decisions, and delivered improvements.
- Partner closely with Engineering and data collection teams to diagnose issues, clarify requirements, establish priorities, and drive work to resolution.
- Work with customers, Support, Technical Success, Sales, and other stakeholders to understand customer problems and distinguish one-off requests from scalable product opportunities.
- Identify recurring API, customer, and operational issues and translate those patterns into product, tooling, monitoring, documentation, process, or data-quality improvements.
- Define and measure meaningful product KPIs across usage, customer behaviour, support trends, product quality, and commercial performance.
- Support new content and third-party integrations by evaluating product fit, customer value, requirements, dependencies, and implementation tradeoffs.
- Contribute to product packaging, commercialisation, and business cases when product decisions require an understanding of revenue, cost, customer demand, or investment tradeoffs.
- Clearly communicate product decisions, priorities, risks, tradeoffs, and status across technical, commercial, operational, and leadership audiences.
- Support day-to-day product ownership of major U.S. sports APIs and related content initiatives, including areas such as the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college sports, NASCAR, and golf.
Required Experience & Qualifications
- Demonstrated Product Management experience with direct ownership of products, product areas, or meaningful product initiatives.
- Strong understanding of customer discovery, prioritisation, requirements definition, roadmaps, backlog management, delivery, and product lifecycle management.
- Strong execution skills and the ability to move comfortably between strategy and detailed delivery.
- Experience partnering closely with Engineering, data, or operational teams.
- Ability to operate independently and make decisions in ambiguous environments.
- Working understanding of RESTful APIs and data-driven products.
- Strong analytical skills and experience using KPIs and customer signals to inform product decisions.
- Strong cross-functional communication and stakeholder-management skills.
- Familiarity with JIRA, Confluence, or comparable product management tools and agile development practices.
Preferred Skills
- Interest in sports, sports media, data products, or technology-driven content experiences is strongly preferred.
Workplace
- Office-first business operating on a hybrid model, with team members working in the office three days a week.
Benefits & Perks
- A collaborative environment with colleagues from all over the world, including Engineering offices in Europe, Asia, and the US, with various social events and teambuilding.
- Flexibility to manage your workday and tasks with autonomy.
- A balance of structure and autonomy to tackle daily tasks.
- A vibrant and inclusive community, including Women in Tech and Pride groups which welcome all participants.
- Global Employee Assistance Programme.
- Calm and Reulay app, leading well-being apps designed to support focus, quality rest, mindfulness, and long-term mental resilience.
- Online training videos.
- Flexible working hours.
