Senior Product Manager in Manchester

About this position

At Dizplai, we transform passive audiences into active communities that drive culture, conversation, and commerce. We partner with Premier League clubs, global motorsport organisations, Olympic sports federations, leading broadcasters, and multi‑million subscriber creator networks across sports and entertainment, helping them turn attention into lasting commercial value. By combining creative consultancy, interactive technology, and data‑driven insights, we help unlock the full commercial potential of audiences.

About the role

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own a product area end‑to‑end, shaping strategy, defining the roadmap and delivering measurable commercial outcomes. Working closely with the Director of Product & Innovation, you'll identify the biggest opportunities, prioritise the right bets and be accountable for the impact your product area delivers. This is a modern product role with builder responsibilities woven throughout. Alongside strong product management fundamentals, you'll use AI and no‑code/low‑code tools to rapidly prototype ideas, explore data, automate workflows and validate concepts before engineering investment. Everything you work on should connect to meaningful business outcomes, whether that's increasing audience engagement, growing first‑party data, improving retention, driving repeat visits or unlocking new monetisation opportunities.

What you'll do

• Own the vision, strategy and roadmap for a product area, taking responsibility for outcomes from discovery through to delivery.
• Build deep relationships with customers, broadcasters, rights holders, operators and internal stakeholders to understand their needs and translate insights into product decisions.
• Partner closely with Engineering, Design and Data to take ideas from problem statement through to production, defining requirements, success metrics, rollout plans and acceptance criteria.
• Build rapid prototypes, proof of concepts and validation artefacts to answer design, technical and customer questions quickly.
• Use modern AI tools throughout your workflow for discovery, competitor analysis, data exploration, requirements, synthesis, experimentation and communication.
• Create lightweight internal tools, workflow automations, AI‑assisted experiences and data explorations that help teams move faster.
• Run regular product demonstrations through Creator Corner, showcasing new features, emerging capabilities and product value across the business.
• Partner with Commercial teams on client demos, pitches and RFPs, helping demonstrate how our products create value for customers.
• Ensure every initiative has clear commercial objectives and measurable success metrics tied to engagement, first‑party data, retention, monetisation or other business outcomes.

You’ll bring

• A proven track record of owning a product area and delivering outcomes that made a measurable business impact.
• Excellent product management fundamentals, including customer discovery, problem framing, prioritisation and product strategy.
• Experience working on complex digital products, ideally within live, real‑time or media‑related environments, or the ability to demonstrate transferable experience.
• Strong practical experience using LLMs and AI tools as part of your everyday product workflow.
• Experience building prototypes, internal tools, workflows, experiments or proof of concepts to validate ideas and reduce uncertainty.
• Strong judgement on where AI adds value and where human decision‑making remains essential.
• A bias towards action, experimentation and shipping rather than over‑planning.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex product decisions to technical, commercial and client‑facing audiences.
• Strong commercial awareness, naturally considering customer value alongside engagement, retention, first‑party data and revenue opportunities.
• Curiosity, adaptability and a commitment to continually learning new technologies, tools and product practices.
• Experience within sports, broadcast, live entertainment or fan engagement.
• Understanding of the data ecosystem behind modern sports and media products, including live event feeds, social data, audience behaviour and content signals.

You’ll thrive if you…

• Love solving ambiguous problems and turning ideas into working prototypes.
• Enjoy balancing strategic thinking with hands‑on execution.
• Are energised by AI and emerging technologies, and actively look for ways they can improve how products are built.
• Care deeply about customer outcomes and commercial impact, not just shipping features.
• Enjoy collaborating across Product, Engineering, Design and Commercial teams.
• Take ownership, move quickly and are comfortable making decisions in a fast‑paced environment where products support live broadcasts and real‑time experiences.

Our Values

• Boundless — Think bigger. Innovate beyond the obvious.
• Purposeful Impact — Focus on meaningful results, not effort.
• Collective Strength — Support each other, challenge each other, grow together.
• Positive Balance — Work with intensity and sustainability.
