About Coopah

Coopah is a run coaching app combining real human coaches with responsive, proactive technology. We are building the future of endurance training.

  • Official training partner of the TCS London Marathon
  • Co-founded by Olympic distance runner and British record holder Eilish McColgan
  • A global, ambitious team building tools used by runners worldwide, sponsoring 90+ races across 10 countries

The role

We are hiring a Product Manager — User Experience Lead to own how Coopah feels to use, end to end.

This is a hands-on role focused on user research, feature development, and design/UI management. You’ll need a genuinely great grasp of user experience, a technical mindset, and an obsession with running that lets you think like the people we’re building for.


Why this role exists

As Coopah scales — more races, more partners, more subscribers — product decisions need to be grounded in real user understanding, not guesswork. We need someone who can own that end-to-end: talking to runners, shaping the roadmap, working with design, running experiments, and — ideally — building some of it themselves through our AI-driven development pipeline.

What you’ll own

1

User research & insight

  • Talking to users/runners regularly to understand needs, pain points, and motivations
  • Synthesising research into clear problem statements and opportunities
  • Building a continuous feedback loop between users and the product roadmap
2

Feature development & prioritisation

  • Investigating, scoping and designing product features
  • Prioritising the roadmap for devs and/or Claude-driven builds
  • Writing clear specs/PRDs that translate user needs into buildable features
3

Design & UI management

  • Working closely with a designer, to shape UI/UX across the app
  • Reviewing and giving feedback on designs against user needs and brand
  • Comfortable doing simple Figma or Claude design work directly when it helps move things faster (adjustments, quick mockups)
4

Experiment management

  • Designing and running experiments/A-B tests to validate feature decisions
  • Defining success metrics and interpreting results
  • Building a genuine test-and-learn culture across the product
5

Build & ship

  • Seeing features through the full dev process to release. Testing features, feeding back to AI agents or developers and approving tasks.
  • Using Coopah's AI-driven development pipeline (e.g. Claude Code) to build your own features (bonus)

What good looks like

Roadmap decisions are grounded in real user insight, not opinion
Features ship that measurably improve user experience and retention
Design quality is consistently high and on-brand
Experiments run routinely and genuinely shape decisions

Who we’re looking for

Experience

3+ years as a Product Manager, ideally on a consumer app, with a strong UX focus

  • Able to write clear PRD’s (using AI tools) and tasks for developers.
  • Understanding of app development processes and a clear project management capability for how to do this efficiently.
