YOUR OPPORTUNITY

At KINEXON Sports, we empower our product teams to tackle complex challenges that matter—whether they're solving customer pain points or advancing our business objectives. We serve top\-end, elite sports teams, an exclusive and demanding market that is difficult to access. To meet their standards, our product range relies on combination of deep tech and full\-stack development, making it highly challenging from both a technical and a user perspective.

Cross\-functional and durable, our product teams are at the core of our success, typically consisting of a product manager and a group of talented engineers. We are looking for a highly motivated and dedicated Associate Product Manager who is eager to dive in and understand every single detail of this very complex product ecosystem. Because this role requires highly hands\-on interaction with our hardware and software, it is a hybrid position with weekly office presence.

YOUR TASKS

As an Associate Product Manager, you'll play a crucial, hands\-on role in ensuring the solutions we develop are valuable, user\-friendly, and perfectly aligned with the high expectations of our elite sports clients.

• Support Product Leadership: Work closely with and assist a Product Manager in evaluating options, analyzing trade\-offs, and making the right strategic and tactical decisions for our complex product range.


• Master the Details: Immerse yourself in the intricacies of our deep tech and full\-stack product range to deeply understand it from both a highly technical and user\-facing perspective.


• Drive Alignment: Support efforts at the intersection of strategy, elite customer needs, and execution, championing customer value and product alignment.


• Understand the Business: Develop a strong understanding of business constraints across areas such as marketing, sales, customer service, finance, legal, and privacy.


• Analyze the User Experience: Gain deep insights into our users—elite athletes, coaches, and sports scientists—understanding how they interact with our products and the complex data that informs their experiences.


• Market Research: Stay ahead of industry trends and analyze the competitive landscape to help shape the future of our products.


• Cross\-Functional Execution: Collaborate closely on\-site with engineers and senior product leaders to identify and deliver impactful solutions that bring tangible value to our customers.

WHAT WE EXPECT

This is an individual contributor role where you'll work closely with teammates, stakeholders, and executives. You'll rely on data, logic, and vision to inspire alignment and foster a shared commitment to success. We're looking for Associate Product Managers who:

• Are Relentlessly Curious: Demonstrate strong dedication, a proactive mindset, and a genuine passion for understanding every technical and functional detail of a complex system.


• Embrace Accountability: Thrive on ownership and are not afraid to take responsibility for specific product domains.


• Lead Through Influence: Inspire alignment and drive impactful change, even early in your career.


• Focus on Outcomes: Deliver measurable results, understanding that shipping features is just the beginning.

YOUR QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering, Sports Science, or Business) or equivalent practical experience.


• 1 to 3 years of experience in technology\-driven product roles. We also welcome and encourage applications from former working students with relevant experience.


• Sports science knowledge (e.g., athletic performance) and the ability to understand how high\-volume tracking data transforms into robust, actionable insights.


• Strong problem\-solving skills, sound judgment, and the ability to craft clear, data\-driven narratives.


• Early track record of building collaborative and productive relationships with cross\-functional teams (e.g., engineering, design, leadership).
