About the role...
As a Senior Product Manager at The Gym Group, you will lead one or more strategic product domains or Value Stream areas, accountable for identifying the right problems to solve and delivering measurable customer and commercial outcomes.
Working across the full product lifecycle, you will combine strong product discovery with pragmatic delivery leadership — using customer insight, data, experimentation and commercial evidence to shape product direction, prioritise investment and continuously improve our products.
You will work closely with Product Design, Engineering, Data and business stakeholders to create empowered teams focused on outcomes rather than output, while helping raise the standard of product practice across TGG.
What you'll be doing...
Product Strategy & Outcomes
Own product direction for your domain or Value Stream, aligned to TGG strategy, customer needs and commercial goals.
Translate strategy into clear outcomes, opportunities and priorities, rather than simply features or projects.
Build evidence-led roadmaps and make clear prioritisation and investment recommendations, balancing value, strategic fit, feasibility and confidence
Define meaningful success measures and use KPIs and OKRs to understand product health and drive measurable improvement.
Discovery & Product Development
Lead continuous discovery, using research, data and operational insight to identify and deeply understand the problems and opportunities worth pursuing.
Work as part of a Product Trio with Design and Engineering to explore opportunities, challenge assumptions and shape potential solutions.
Use experimentation, prototyping and testing to validate assumptions and reduce uncertainty before significant investment.
Turn validated opportunities into clear product direction, hypotheses and outcomes that enable teams to design and deliver effectively.
Delivery, Learning & Optimisation
Lead cross-functional teams through delivery, maintaining focus on the customer and commercial outcomes we are seeking to achieve.
Provide sufficient clarity for teams to execute effectively, translating product direction into initiatives, epics and stories where appropriate.
Measure the impact of what we release, using evidence and learning to determine what we should do next.
Champion continuous optimisation, recognising that releasing a feature is the start of learning, not the end of the product process.
Customer, Commercial & Data Leadership
Connect product decisions to TGG’s key customer and commercial outcomes, including acquisition, revenue, retention, engagement and lifetime value.
Combine customer research, behavioural data, analytics and commercial evidence to inform decisions and prioritisation.
Build a deep understanding of member journeys, behaviours and operational context, ensuring products solve meaningful real-world problems.
Develop compelling business cases and investment recommendations for significant product opportunities.
Stakeholder, Practice & People Leadership
Build trusted relationships across Commercial, Marketing, Operations, Finance and Technology, creating alignment around problems, outcomes and priorities.
Influence senior stakeholders through clear, evidence-based recommendations and confidently navigate competing priorities and trade-offs.
Role-model strong product practice and mentor other Product Managers, helping raise product capability and judgement across TGG.
Contribute to TGG’s Product Playbook and ways of working, championing a culture of curiosity, experimentation and evidence-led decision making.
About you...
Proven experience as a Senior Product Manager, Product Lead or equivalent, owning meaningful digital products, propositions or product domains.
Strong experience across the full product lifecycle, with demonstrated capability in both discovery and delivery.
Strong discovery skills, including problem framing, customer research, opportunity assessment, experimentation and validation.
Experience using qualitative and quantitative evidence to make product decisions and measure outcomes.
Strong commercial acumen, with the ability to connect product opportunities to measurable business value and build compelling investment cases.
Experience developing product strategies, roadmaps and prioritisation decisions based on evidence and strategic objectives.
Experience working in cross-functional teams with Product Design, Engineering, Data and business stakeholders.
Excellent communication and influencing skills, including experience working with senior stakeholders and navigating ambiguity.
Experience mentoring Product Managers and contributing to the development of product practice.
Experience in consumer digital products, subscriptions or membership businesses is desirable.
