•       Identify and evaluate new commercial opportunities — from sponsorships and brand integrations to licensing and data partnerships.

•       Enhance platform features such as player databases, pricing tools, squad builders and analytics.

•       Ensure high performance, scalability, and reliability of the platform.

•       Champion a strong community-first approach in all product decisions.

•       Manage senior stakeholders and report on key business KPIs — including revenue, margin, ARPU and LTV — to executive leadership and investors.

🧠 What we're looking for

•       6–8 years of experience in product leadership, digital media, gaming or sports tech.

•       Proven P&L ownership experience — comfortable setting budgets, forecasting revenue and driving margin improvement across a consumer platform.

•       Commercially-minded with a track record of growing revenue through diversified monetisation models including ads, subscriptions, partnerships and hybrid approaches.

•       Proven experience leading cross-functional teams in a fast-paced tech environment.

•       Strong background in product strategy, growth and user engagement at scale.

•       Deep understanding of data analytics, experimentation and KPI-driven development.

•       Experience with platforms serving large consumer audiences.

•       Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.

•       Strong understanding of the football gaming ecosystem.

 

✨ Nice to have

•       Experience in esports, fantasy sports or gaming communities.

•       Familiarity with EA SPORTS FC / Ultimate Team.
