Responsibilities

• Lead the products that capture, process and deliver tracking data to teams, leagues and external developers worldwide.
• Own positional tracking for first-party and third-party use cases across the full lifecycle, from early ideas and discovery through build, launch and ongoing improvement.

• Positional tracking underpins the company's tracking-based products, including performance, officiating, automated data collection, media visualisations and digital recreation.
• Help define what comes next in match capture, where positional tracking, computer vision, digital twins and 3D capture overlap.
• Run prototypes and early deployments with engineers and partners, learn what works, and bring the strongest ideas into the core platform.
• Build and maintain a clear, prioritised roadmap, and communicate it to internal and external stakeholders.
• Treat application product managers as customers, balance first-party and third-party needs, and define interfaces that keep the platform unified.
• Gather needs from teams, leagues, external developers and application teams, and turn them into requirements.
• Own live-operations quality and reliability alongside new capabilities.
• Work with computer vision, systems and data platform engineers, downstream product managers, match and venue operations, design and business teams to deliver on time and on budget.
• Decide which new capture ideas to scale and which to stop, based on evidence from prototypes, early deployments and customer feedback.
• Set long-term investment direction using data, weighing trade-offs with cross-divisional partners.
• Split investment across three horizons: Now (0-12 months), Next (12-36 months) and Future (36+ months), balancing incremental gains with longer-term innovation.
• Define KPIs, build dashboards and make decisions from both qualitative and quantitative analysis.
• Support commercial, marketing and operations teams in go-to-market work with product expertise.
• Mentor less experienced product managers and improve product practice across the team.
• Keep up with computer vision tracking, real-time data platforms, new capture techniques and competitor offerings.

• Solid understanding of the product lifecycle, including discovery, analysis, OKRs, ideation, prioritisation and measurable delivery.
• Experience leading complex cross-functional programmes with engineering, operations and downstream product teams, influencing without formal authority.
• Enough technical depth to work with computer vision, systems and data platform engineers on real-time products, and to move between technical detail and commercial trade-offs.
• Ability to bring clarity to technically ambiguous areas where positional tracking, 3D capture, digital twins and real-time systems overlap.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, including presenting to leadership and supporting commercial conversations.
• Experience delivering products or services in an agile or lean setting, including managing a backlog of user stories, epics and bugs.
