Full Stack Product Manager

We're looking for a hands-on Product Manager to own product delivery end-to-end—from research and prototyping to launch and measurement. You'll partner directly with our co-founder to define and execute strategic initiatives that scale Mingle Sport internationally.
We're building AI into everything we do—both in how we develop (AI-assisted workflows, automated testing, rapid prototyping) and what we ship to users. You'll help shape that approach as we figure out what AI-native product development looks like for a small, fast-moving team.
This isn't a "write tickets and hand off" role. You'll prototype in Figma or code, write test cases, dig into analytics, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers to ship features that matter. If you've got a developer or designer background and want to stay close to the craft while owning product outcomes, this is your role.
What You'll Do
Define product initiatives with the co-founder and own execution from concept to launch
Conduct user research and translate insights into features
Create prototypes (Figma or code) and validate solutions quickly
Coordinate with engineering on technical implementation
Define test strategy, write test cases, and manage QA
Build dashboards, track metrics, and use data to drive decisions
Example project: We decide to double down on our club tool—chat, statistics, league integrations. You scope requirements, design the solution, coordinate engineering, manage testing, and measure results
