Lead implementation and go-to-market of AI capabilities delivered through that partnership, from initial rollout through to ongoing customer adoption
Own usage and cost analysis for these partner-delivered products, ensuring the value and efficiency of that investment is clearly understood as adoption scales
Develop a deep understanding of how sports organisations use data and reporting day to day, building strong relationships with customers and internal stakeholders
Define clear success metrics for your product area and use data to guide decisions and measure outcomes
Build and communicate a commercial case for roadmap investments, connecting product decisions to business outcomes such as retention, expansion and customer value
Communicate progress, risks and trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Collaborate with Sales, Customer Success and Marketing to support successful go-to-market execution

Experience managing strategic technology or platform partnerships, ideally including large global technology providers, to drive alignment and joint roadmap innovation
Experience taking AI-powered capabilities from implementation through to go-to-market, including working with Sales and Marketing on positioning and launch
Comfortable analysing product usage and cost data to inform decisions about scaling, adopting or optimising a partner-delivered capability
Strong understanding of the full product development lifecycle, from discovery through release and ongoing iteration, and experience working closely with a Product Owner or delivery lead to keep execution on track
Excellent client-facing and stakeholder management skills, with experience translating complex, often technical, user needs into clear product requirements

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, at direct-to-customer standard
Entrepreneurial, self-motivated and highly organised
