Head of Product

Executive Search | AI Capability for Leadership Teams | Portfolio Director Customer, Growth & Experience

Think Talent is partnering with a visionary startup on their first product leadership hire. A well‑funded sports and media technology startup is building a premium, social‑first platform that delivers a world‑class mobile and web experience connecting athletes, fans, and brands. The Opportunity

The Head of Product is a high‑impact role and the first dedicated product hire. You’ll translate a bold vision into an actionable roadmap and define success metrics that ensure the product experience is world‑class – intuitive, consistent, engaging and scalable. Key to success will be strategic and execution skills gained within both enterprise and high‑growth digital environments. A willingness to be hands on as needed, coordinating distributed teams and driving delivery aligned to vision through MVP, Beta, and full‑scale launch. What you’ll do

Lead end‑to‑end delivery across mobile, web, and AdTech workstreams. Translate strategy and user insights into product requirements, user stories, and sprint plans. Collaborate with international engineering and design teams to refine, test, and release new features. Champion user experience and design consistency across onboarding, posting, and discovery flows. Build product analytics and instrumentation to support growth experiments and retention tracking. Manage launch readiness, documentation, and feature rollout plans. Help shape the product frameworks and systems that will scale as the company grows. About You

You’re a creative strategist and builder, able to zoom in and out to define strategy and deliver aligned outcomes. Passion for sport, digital communities, and technology. Driven by impact in fast‑paced, collaborative high‑growth environments. Qualifications

Excellent communication and prioritisation skills. A bias for action – you care about what ships and how it performs. 4–8 years’ experience in Product Management – ideally across mobile, social, or creator‑tech platforms. Experience working with distributed teams (engineering, design, data). Strong UX sensitivity and data fluency (DAUs, funnels, retention). Figma, Jira/Linear, Notion, Firebase, Mixpanel, or Amplitude capability. What’s on Offer

Early ownership in a global, mission‑driven platform poised to transform the sports industry. Flexible, hybrid work environment. Career‑defining opportunity to take a product from MVP to market launch and shape the future team around you. If you’re ready to play a defining role in building the next big thing in global sport and media tech, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now or speak to
