Descrizione del lavoro

This role is offered on an Italian employment contract. Candidates must be based in Italy as we are unable to support remote working from outside the country due to local employment and tax legislation.

This role sits within Deltatre's Digital Product team, focused on FORGE — our publishing platform used by major sports leagues including the NFL, MLB, NHL, UEFA, and MLS to control content, presentation, and customer experience — and NEXUS, our new product offering currently being shaped for the Sports market.

We are hiring at Junior to Mid level (1–4 years' product experience). You will co-own business outcomes for NEXUS, lead roadmap development for FORGE CMS, own the product backlog day-to-day, and contribute to longer-arc strategic roadmap initiatives.

The role is open to a range of experience — the right fit matters more than the years on a CV. Apply anyway and tell us where you think you sit.

Responsibilities

Roadmap and strategy

• Co-own business outcomes for NEXUS — product performance, adoption, customer satisfaction, and the KPIs that demonstrate value generation
• Contribute to the strategic product roadmap, championing new concepts and growth initiatives that expand FORGE and NEXUS's market position for our Sports customer base
• Act as the voice of the customer — gather and analyse customer feedback, market insights, and usage data to inform roadmap decisions for the CMS and NEXUS
• Own end-to-end requirement gathering and writing — translate business needs, customer feedback, and strategic goals into clear epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria
• Manage and curate the product backlog, ensuring items are well-prioritised based on value generation, ROI, and alignment with the broader product strategy
• Provide sufficient analysis, context, and clear business value to enable developers to estimate, refine, and contribute to technical backlog items
• Engage with development teams day-to-day — leading backlog grooming, sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives
• Act as the primary point of contact for the scrum team
• Collaborate with Product Design and Product Engineering to plan, shape, and deliver upcoming development increments
• Work with Senior Product Management, Technology, and other stakeholders to set sprint and quarterly goals that align with product strategy

Customer engagement and continuous improvement

• Present, manage, and respond to customer feedback and improvement requests, ensuring continuous improvement is embedded into the roadmap
• Take ownership of Customer Engagement Boards for your product lines
• Resolve customer issues, balancing short-term fixes with long-term product evolution
• Work with Marketing and Go-to-Market teams on value-driven collateral and messaging for new product increments and feature releases

Continuous learning

• Keep current with Agile / Scrum best practices, product management methodologies, and emerging trends in the digital product space

Requirements

You combine product judgement with the discipline to run a backlog day-to-day. You can hold a strategic conversation about market positioning in the morning and run a backlog grooming session with engineers in the afternoon, and you treat both as serious work. You are customer-centric in practice, not only in language — you actually talk to customers and let that change what you build.

Required

• 1–4 years' experience as a Product Manager, Product Owner, or in a similar product role
• Experience of digital products and services — web and/or mobile applications
• Exposure to either B2B products (enterprise-level, back-office, extranet solutions) or B2C products (user-facing applications)
• Demonstrated business acumen — able to connect product decisions to commercial outcomes
• Solid technical understanding to engage credibly with engineering teams
• Deep knowledge of Agile process and principles, with demonstrable experience owning a product backlog and writing user stories
• Hands-on experience leading team ceremonies (backlog grooming, sprint planning, retrospectives)
• Customer-centric in practice — gathering feedback, running discovery sessions, and translating insights into actionable product improvements
• Clear communication and presentation, with the ability to influence stakeholders at different levels of the business
• Organised, able to balance strategic thinking with day-to-day delivery
• Analytical mindset — comfortable working with data to inform decisions
• Knowledge of a publishing platform or CMS
• Background in SaaS product management
• Familiarity with the sports or media industry
• Experience with Customer Engagement Boards or comparable customer feedback structures
• Genuine interest in sport — useful for editorial judgement on what matters to the audience our customers serve

Who Thrives Here

Product management in Deltatre's Digital Product team runs at the intersection of customer reality and engineering pragmatism. The products you shape — FORGE for established publishing, NEXUS as the new offering — are used at scale by major sports brands, and the decisions you make echo across that surface. The work rewards product managers who care about the small details (the moment a CMS workflow becomes friction for an editorial team, the feature request that is actually three different requests in disguise) and who can hold the longer-arc view of how the product evolves over quarters, not sprints.

A good Product Manager at Deltatre tends to be honest with engineering about trade-offs (they do not sell features as easy that are not), generous with credit (they do not take it from the people doing the work), and curious about the customer's actual workflow — not only the one the customer says they have in surveys.

Process and what to expect

Salary starts from €27,000 at entry level rising to €82,000 for those with significant relevant experience. Where you land depends on the experience and expertise you bring.

If your expectations sit outside the range, tell us anyway —we're happy to have an open conversation. Internal progression is assessed through a structured process combining a technical assessment and a competency-based interview. The role falls under CCNL Commercio| D.Lgs. 96/2026"

Assessment Stages

• Introductory conversation: a step for us to get to know each other better, and for us to answer all questions you might have around Deltatre.
• 1-hour Technical round of Interview: we will deep dive on your experience and collect examples of the responsibilities you've been dealing with in your past experience. A chance to deep dive on the role and for you to ask questions.
• 1-hour Competency Based Interview: we will ask you situational questions around how you deal with real-life scenarios at work. Easier doing it, more than explaining it.

If any of these formats would be difficult for you, tell us — we adjust regularly and can usually accommodate.

Accessibility and accommodation questions are welcome at any stage. Tell us what would work for you.
