Your Role

We’re looking for a Product Manager to join our North American Sports product group. You’ll work on Instat, our comprehensive analysis and scouting tool trusted by basketball and ice hockey coaches and scouts worldwide.

This is a hands‑on product role, with a short term focus on integrations. We’re looking for someone with high energy to match our big ambitions in this space.

Responsibilities

• Focus on delivering value to our users You’ll understand the biggest user pain points and scope how those can be solved through in a way that benefits from Hudl’s existing product suite. You’ll “quarterback” a key investment, with a heavy focus on delivering a product experience that customers love.
• Advocate for the product You’ll develop a deep understanding of our customers and business needs, building trusting relationships with customers and senior internal stakeholders.
• Foster collaboration You’ll determine what success looks like and motivate your squad, ensuring all are pulling in the same direction. You’ll also work with Marketing, Sales and Customer Support to create go‑to‑market plans.

For this role, we're currently considering candidates who live within a commuting distance of our offices in London. But with our flexible work policy, there aren't any current requirements for the number of days you come to the office.

Must‑Haves

• Experience You’ve spent more than two years in product management, and you have a track record of shipping valuable customer‑facing software.
• A communicator You’re comfortable presenting and can effectively share your product roadmap with stakeholders. You can get buy‑in on your ideas and can motivate others toward a common goal.
• Naturally curious You never stop learning—you’re eager for knowledge and new ideas because that improves the way you work. You love building prototypes, testing, learning and evolving.
• Data‑driven You have a passion for using data and insights to drive high quality decision‑making, but also know when to take calculated leads of faith.
• Sport knowledge You are passionate about the sport of basketball and / or ice hockey, and are keen to learn more.
• Collaborative You seek to understand the strengths of those around you and have made each team you’ve worked on better. You relish tackling hard problems alongside your squad and building great relationships with teams.
• Ambitious and energetic You’re willing to roll your sleeves up and get hands‑on when necessary to make an impact. You’re ambitious and keen to develop your long‑term career at Hudl.

Nice‑to‑Haves

• A strong negotiator You’re able to communicate tradeoffs and generate buy‑in on a solution that’s best for everyone.
• Market connections You have either coached or participated in basketball or ice hockey at a competitive level, and you can bring industry context and connections to the role.

Our Role

• Champion work‑life harmony We’ll give you the flexibility you need in your work life (e.g., flexible vacation time above any required statutory leave, company‑wide holidays and timeout (meeting‑free) days, remote work options and more) so you can enjoy your personal life too.
• Guarantee autonomy We have an open, honest culture and we trust our people from day one. Your team will support you, but you’ll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas.
