The Opportunity
Elite sports organizations across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa are transforming how they develop athletes, and you'll be at the center of it. As our (Senior) Product Success Manager for Performance in EMEA, you'll partner with some of the world's most prestigious football clubs and Olympic committees to revolutionize their approach to athlete management, training optimization, and performance analytics. This isn't just about implementing software; it's about empowering performance directors, sports scientists, strength coaches, and medical staff to make data-driven decisions that elevate athletic excellence.
You'll own the complete lifecycle for our Performance ecosystem, from onboarding new clients on our Athlete Management System (AMS), Strength & Conditioning, and Nutrition platforms to scaling adoption across multidisciplinary performance departments. Teamworks AMS is a human performance optimization platform that serves as the source of truth for physical performance data, nutrition, medical record-keeping, and more. Currently integrated with more than 100 different technology products, AMS enables organizations to unify disparate data sources into a single comprehensive athlete profile. Working remotely across the EMEA region, you'll build a portfolio of approximately 15-25 elite sporting organizations, becoming their trusted advisor as they integrate performance technology into every facet of athlete development. Your expertise in sports science and AMS platforms will be essential as you guide practitioners through complex data integration, workflow optimization, and strategic performance insights.
This role matters now because European football and Olympic sport are at an inflection point. Performance staff are demanding integrated solutions that connect training loads, wellness monitoring, nutrition tracking, and medical data into a unified athlete profile. You'll be the bridge between cutting-edge technology and elite sports operations, helping organizations unlock competitive advantages through smarter data utilization and seamless cross-functional collaboration.
