PlayerData is focused on creating the best product experience for aspiring players and coaches. They are looking for a Product Manager to oversee product execution across multiple engineering pods, ensuring that product vision translates into clear specifications and is delivered reliably.
Responsibilities:
- Translate discovery, prototypes, and product direction into clear, implementation-ready PRDs
- Define user flows, edge cases, and acceptance criteria before sprint start
- Ensure engineering teams fully understand the problem, scope, and intended user experience before development begins
- Identify UX or usability gaps during development
- Make bounded product decisions during implementation when required
- This role stays actively engaged during development to ensure implementation reflects the intended product experience
- Pressure-test scope before development begins
- Ensure teams commit to realistic sprint plans
- Surface risks and tradeoffs early
- Escalate when execution risk becomes material
- Own post-launch feedback and structured data collection
- Capture learnings that improve future product decisions
- Provide clear reporting on execution quality and outcomes
Requirements:
- Proven ability to translate ideas into clear, actionable product specifications
- Strong attention to detail in UX and usability
- Ability to identify friction in user journeys others miss
- Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment
- Strong ownership mindset - you surface problems early rather than reacting late
- Ability to balance ideal solutions with real engineering constraints
- Writing is a core part of this role. Strong candidates should be comfortable turning complex ideas into clear, structured product specifications
- You care deeply about building products that athletes and coaches genuinely want to use, not just products that are technically complete
- You believe that small product details compound into meaningful improvements in athlete and coach experience
- You are someone who can listen carefully, learn quickly, and execute reliably
- You are comfortable working cross-team and cross-department, and can unlock collaboration across product, design, engineering, and leadership
- Strong preference for candidates with a coaching or competitive athletic background, particularly in grassroots or youth environments
- Experience working inside a product development organisation is strongly preferred
