We're looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead the delivery of complex, consumer-facing software projects across our global sports portfolio.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Project Manager, you'll take ownership of large-scale digital projects from concept through to launch, working across websites, mobile applications, data visualisation products, and other innovative sports technology solutions.

You'll act as a trusted partner to both clients and internal teams, ensuring successful delivery while identifying opportunities to maximise value and strengthen client relationships. This is a highly visible role where you'll collaborate with stakeholders across Product, Design, Engineering, QA, and Business Development to deliver exceptional outcomes.

What You'll Be Doing

• Act as the primary point of contact for clients and senior stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.

• Manage project scope, timelines, budgets, risks, and resource planning to ensure successful delivery.

• Work closely with Design, Engineering, QA, and Product teams to drive high-performing, agile delivery.

• Translate client requirements and feedback into clear project scope, functional requirements, and user stories.

• Identify opportunities to provide additional value to clients through a deep understanding of their objectives and our capabilities.

• Drive continuous improvement by introducing new ways of working that enhance delivery efficiency and product quality.

• Maintain clear project reporting and proactively manage risks, dependencies, and escalations.

• Support live sporting events when required, acting as a key escalation point during critical delivery periods.

• Mentor and support other Project Managers, helping to develop best practices across the team.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years' experience managing software or digital product projects.

• Strong experience delivering web, mobile, SaaS, or data-driven technology solutions.

• Ability to confidently engage with both technical and non-technical stakeholders at all levels.

• Proven experience managing multiple complex projects simultaneously in fast-paced environments.

• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and relationship-building skills.

• Strong commercial awareness, including experience managing budgets, forecasting, and resource planning.

• Experience working within Agile delivery environments.

• A proactive mindset with strong problem-solving and decision-making capabilities.

• Demonstrated ability to identify and mitigate project risks while maintaining delivery quality.

• Passion for mentoring others and contributing to a collaborative team culture.

Why Join Beyond Sports?

• Work on innovative products used by some of the world's leading sports organisations.

• Be part of a global Sony Sports business at the forefront of sports technology.

• Collaborate with talented teams across Product, Design, Engineering, and Delivery.

• Play a key role in delivering experiences that reach millions of sports fans worldwide.

• Access opportunities for personal development, growth, and career progression.
