What You'll Make Happen

You’ll join a fast‑paced team that values ownership, clarity, and shipping. You’ll work remotely, collaborate with leading sports organisations, and be embedded in one or more products, helping shape how they use and evolve our product suite.

This role sits at the intersection of AI, automation, and product ownership. There’s no central project manager—you’ll be expected to spot problems, decide what’s worth fixing, and help build the solutions. You don’t need years of product experience, but you do need curiosity, good judgement, and the willingness to get your hands dirty.

What You'll Do

Own AI‑driven workflows and product improvements within specific parts of the product suite.

Identify friction in how clients and teams use the product and propose solutions.

Build and iterate on AI‑powered automations, tools, and workflows to improve delivery and outcomes.

Be responsible for deciding what matters within your product area, not just executing predefined tasks.

You’ll translate real client and usage problems into shipped product improvements, not decks or specs.

Use AI and internal tools to investigate product behaviour, debug issues, and test ideas.

Work directly with engineers to ship changes and improvements.

Engage with clients when needed to understand real problems and validate solutions.

What We're Looking For

Hands‑on experience building or running AI‑powered workflows, automations, or systems in a product or SaaS environment – or strong transferable experience with clear evidence you learn fast by building.

Enough product judgement to decide what’s worth working on and when, balancing user needs, technical constraints, and speed.

Comfort owning a problem end‑to‑end: from identifying the issue, to prototyping a solution, to working with developers to ship it.

Genuine interest in AI beyond surface‑level use – you’ve used AI to build, automate, or meaningfully change workflows, not just to brainstorm or write docs.

Willingness to get into the weeds: prompts, tools, data, investigations, and iteration.

Strong communication skills across technical and non‑technical teams, including clients when needed.

Comfortable working with data and structured information to inform decisions.

High ownership mindset – you don’t wait for tickets or roadmaps to tell you what to do.

Able to operate across multiple work streams in a fast‑moving environment.

Reliable internet for remote work.

First, you’ll be invited for a 15‑minute chat, we’ll explain the role better and answer your questions.

We’ll then invite you to do a take home task (we’ll compensate you regardless of outcome) and then it’s just a final interview with the team.
