About the company

Kitman Labs builds performance intelligence software that is changing how the sports world works with data to help elite athletes reach their potential. The company focuses on sports performance, analytics, and user experience, and brings together specialists across data science, sports performance science, product design, software design, and engineering.

Role overview

Kitman Labs is seeking a seasoned and proactive Product Manager to own key product initiatives from early idea exploration through launch and continuous improvement. The role calls for a strategic operator who can turn product vision into delivery, manage stakeholders effectively, and help guide the product through the full lifecycle.

The successful candidate will need a solid understanding of how sports organisations run, along with a strong interest in building tools that genuinely help coaches, sports scientists, and performance staff. Because the company serves US-based clients and works to a global roadmap, the position requires adaptable working hours and occasional weekend availability.

• Build strong relationships with customers and internal teams to develop a detailed understanding of the sports operations environment.
• Create and maintain a prioritised roadmap so the team stays focused on the most valuable work.
• Track competitors and market developments in sports performance technology and use those insights to improve prioritisation and product direction.
• Work closely with engineering and design teams to turn insights into clear, well-defined, outcome-led deliverables.
• Promote a mindset of delivering the smallest useful solution and refining it through evidence and feedback.
• Set measurable success criteria for your area and use data to inform decisions and evaluate impact.
• Develop a commercial rationale for roadmap investments and show how product choices connect to retention, expansion, and customer value.
• Share progress, risks, and key decisions clearly with stakeholders across the business.
• Work with Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing to help execute successful go-to-market plans.

• A strong design-led product approach.
• A customer-first mindset, with the ability to combine qualitative and quantitative inputs when making decisions.
• Commercial awareness, including how product decisions affect revenue, retention, and customer value, and the ability to explain this to senior leaders.
• Experience analysing competitors and turning market signals into practical product insights.
• Comfort using AI tools such as Claude, Gemini, or similar to support discovery, research, prototyping, and decision-making, plus an understanding of how AI/ML can be applied in product work.
• Experience working across engineering, design, sales, and customer success teams to deliver results.
• Ability to make decisions when information is incomplete and to balance scope, quality, and time.
• Excellent written and spoken communication skills suitable for direct customer interaction.
• An entrepreneurial, self-directed, and highly organised working style.

Nice-to-have experience

• Exposure to professional sports organisations, clubs, federations, or leagues.
• Knowledge of sports performance, sports science, or athlete health workflows.
• Familiarity with how coaches, sports scientists, physiotherapists, or analysts use technology in day-to-day work.

• Competitive salary.
• Meaningful equity.
• Pension plan.
• Fully paid health insurance for the employee and dependants.
