Job description

At Hudl, we build great teams. We hire the best of the best to ensure you’re working with people you can constantly learn from. You’re trusted to get your work done your way while testing the limits of what’s possible and what’s next. We work hard to provide a culture where everyone feels supported, and our employees feel it—their votes helped us become one of Newsweek's Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces.

We think of ourselves as the team behind the team, supporting the lifelong impact sports can have: the lessons in teamwork and dedication; the influence of inspiring coaches; and the opportunities to reach new heights. That’s why we help teams from all over the world see their game differently. Our products make it easier for coaches and athletes at any level to capture video, analyze data, share highlights and more.

Ready to join us?

Your Role

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead a high-impact squad within our Core Data group, tasked with building the next generation of our real-time sports infrastructure. This team is developing the foundational "data highway" and "insight engine" that will power the future of Hudl’s live products.

This isn't just an infrastructure role; it’s a Platform-as-a-Product role. You will be at the heart of our technical strategy, ensuring that event data, tracking data, and machine learning-generated moments move seamlessly from the cloud to a coach's iPad in seconds. Your mission is to solve the "massive data" problem—taking complex, high-concurrency streams and turning them into a clean, unified feed that other Hudl teams can use to build game-changing features.

Success in this role isn't just about "it works," it's also about adoption. You will spend your time not only with engineers but also with PMs across our College & Professional and Youth, Club & High School business units, understanding their roadblocks and helping them integrate these new capabilities into their own products. You’ll be the bridge that allows our Applied Machine Learning teams to stop doing "bespoke integrations" and start delivering automated insights at a global scale.

For this role, we're currently considering candidates who live within a commuting distance of our office 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

A Platform Product Leader. You have 5+ years of PM experience, with a focus on high-scale data systems or APIs. You treat your technical platform as a product, prioritizing the experience of the internal developers who build on top of your work.
A Leader in Adoption & Integration. You know that a great platform is only valuable if it's utilized. You are an expert at internal evangelism—creating "paved roads" for other teams, writing clear documentation, and providing the support needed to help the rest of the business adopt new data architectures.
A Strategic "Bridge." You can navigate deep technical conversations with engineers about real-time streaming and latency, but you can also walk into a room of stakeholders and explain exactly how that technology provides a tactical advantage to a coach on the sideline.
User-Centric & Empathetic. Even though you are building backend systems, you never lose sight of the coach. You’re passionate about taking "raw data" and making it useful, reliable, and fast enough to influence a game in real-time.
Expert at Navigating Trade-offs. You’re skilled at managing a complex web of dependencies. You can protect the team's focus from distractions while ensuring that the critical needs of our Applied Machine Learning, College & Professional, and Youth, Club & High School teams are met.

Nice-to-Haves

Experience with Real-Time Streaming. You’ve worked with technologies like AWS Kinesis or similar message-bus architectures to move data at massive concurrency.
Applied Machine Learning Lifecycle Knowledge. You’ve worked alongside data scientists and understand how to build the data pipelines required to train, deploy, and improve models.
Sports Performance Background. You have a personal or professional connection to sports and understand the pressure coaches face during live competition.

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.
Encourage career growth. We’re lifelong learners who encourage professional development. We’ll give you tons of resources and opportunities to keep growing.
Provide an environment to help you succeed. We've invested in our offices, designing incredible spaces with our employees in mind. But whether you’re at the office or working remotely, we’ll provide you the tech you need to do your best work.
Support your wellbeing. Depending on location, we offer medical and retirement benefits for employees—but no matter where you’re located, we have resources like our Employee Assistance Program and employee resource groups to support your mental health.

Compensation

The base salary range for this role is displayed below—starting salaries will typically fall near the middle of this range.

£66,000—£111,000 GBP

Inclusion at Hudl

Hudl is an equal opportunity employer. Through our actions, behaviors and attitude, we’ll create an environment where everyone, no matter their differences, feels like they belong.

We offer resources to ensure our employees feel safe bringing their authentic selves to work, including employee resource groups and communities. But we recognize there’s ongoing work to be done, which is why we track our efforts and commitments in annual inclusion reports.

We also know imposter syndrome is real and the confidence gap can get in the way of meeting spectacular candidates. Please don’t hesitate to apply—we’d love to hear from you.
