The Opportunity

SportAI is seeking a Chief Product Officer to lead product execution and guide the company from a technically strong early stage into a scalable business.

This is a highly hands-on leadership role. While long-term product vision and strategy matter, the immediate need is for a product leader who thrives in execution: someone who can drive day-to-day product decisions, work closely with engineering, and turn SportAI’s advanced AI and computer vision capabilities into user-ready, commercially impactful solutions.

As a key member of the leadership team, you will own the backbone of SportAI’s product direction, from product strategy and prioritisation to roadmap execution and delivery.

This is a rare opportunity to work on real-time computer vision and machine learning systems at scale, shaping the product layer of one of the most advanced AI platforms in sports technology.

  • Translate SportAI’s core AI and computer vision capabilities into concrete features and product experiences
  • Work directly with customers, partners, and stakeholders to validate solutions and inform priorities
  • Own and evolve a dynamic product roadmap that balances speed, learning, and long-term direction

Team & Culture Building

  • Build and lead a small, high-performing product organisation as the company scales
  • Mentor and develop product talent, fostering a culture of ownership, accountability, and collaboration
  • Set ambitious standards and cultivate a performance-driven, execution-oriented product culture

Market & Ecosystem Understanding

  • Build deep insight into the sports technology landscape and emerging trends
  • Identify ecosystem opportunities and partnerships that accelerate adoption and differentiation
  • Translate market understanding into practical, near-term product decisions that support long-term positioning

Execution & Delivery

  • Establish and track key product metrics for adoption, engagement, and success
  • Ensure consistent, high-quality delivery of new features and platform improvements
  • Balance long-term innovation with short-term customer and commercial needs

Experience & Background

  • Proven experience as CPO, VP Product, or similar senior product leader in a B2C SaaS environment
  • Track record of building and scaling products from early-stage to commercial success
  • Strong technical understanding of AI-driven or data-intensive products, ideally within computer vision, ML, or performance analytics
  • Ability to define strategy while remaining deeply involved in hands-on product execution
  • Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to align technical and commercial teams
  • International experience and understanding of global product-market dynamics
  • Passion for sports, technology, and user experience

What’s in it for you?

  • Opportunity to shape the product direction of a category-defining AI sports platform
  • Ownership and equity participation in the company
  • Work on some of the most advanced AI, computer vision, and product challenges in sports tech
  • Highly technical, ambitious, and collaborative team
  • Strong investor backing and global market ambition
  • Flexible working schedules for professional and personal balance
