Senior Product Manager

About us

At MWS, we are on a mission to become the home of game-worn culture. We do this by connecting global fanbases to the ultimate fan item: match-worn and signed shirts from the world's biggest athletes and brands around the world. We accelerate engagement, interaction and revenue by enabling our customers to access pieces of sporting history, while raising funds for the causes that matter most to our partners. And the best part? We do it all live from the kick-off. With more than 400 partners globally, we are the outright market leaders in our industry. We see ourselves as innovators, constantly looking for new ways to surprise and delight our audience.

About the role

As the Senior Product Manager, you'll own a strategic product domain at MWS from end to end, making sure there is a clear vision, a plan and the execution to deliver the desired business outcomes. Together with engineering and product design, you'll translate the broader business and product strategy into a concrete roadmap, and make and communicate the key decisions that come with it.

Your first assignment (the first 6 to 12 months) is to define and design the future of Resale, one of our new revenue streams. You'll assess the full picture from a customer, business, compliance and technology perspective, and deliver a Resale business model within the broader MWS landscape that is both scalable and profitable. In the age of AI, you're a builder and a strong generalist who can take an idea from data to prototype to business case.

Your responsibilities include:

• Vision & Roadmap: Create and maintain a vision and long-term plan for a strategic domain within MWS, including a rolling 6 to 12 month roadmap kept up to date with senior stakeholders.

• Business Outcomes: Deliver business value through customer-driven product development, accountable for business outcomes with solutions as the means.

• Stakeholder Alignment: Manage alignment with stakeholders across the business, and independently create and defend decisions on cross-departmental subjects such as legal, finance and vendors.

• The What & Why: Find the user problems most worth solving, define what great looks like, and make explicit what we are not doing and why.

• Clear Communication: Communicate on two levels at all times, what we are doing now and what we want to do next, and proactively share changes in direction and why.

• Beyond Your Scope: Identify opportunities beyond the scope of your own team and make them happen.

• Role Model & Coach: Coach the product team and leadership team in how to work, and build reusable AI workflows and playbooks that help the company move forward.

We are looking for the following skillset:

• Experience: 5 years of experience in product management, preferably in a senior position, with a track record of translating company strategy into a concrete roadmap and deliverables.

• Data & Business Cases: Able to run your own analysis, turn it into a dashboard or insight, and turn data and stakeholder input into testable hypotheses. Experienced in building business cases with explicit assumptions (including P&L impact) and finding the sweet spot on pricing and fees.

• AI Builder: Hands-on experience using AI in your daily product work, with at least one prototype, workflow or analysis built with AI that went into real use.

• Education: A degree in Business Administration, Information Systems, Engineering or another relevant field.

• Mindset: Strong ownership and high agency, with strong strategic and systems thinking. You make decisions quickly, stand behind them, and bring senior stakeholders, including the LT and executive team, along on the plan.

• Nice to have: Experience in e-commerce, marketplaces or other tangible product businesses.

• Legal: EU passport or valid working rights for the Netherlands.

What We Offer

• Salary: A gross annual salary between €78.000 and €105.000, including holiday allowance. Where you land in this range depends on your skills and experience.
