Manson was born in 1989.[1] He is from a family of rowers, with his father Greg the singles lightweight national champion in 1985, and his brother Karl also competing internationally.[2]

He won a bronze medal at the 2015 World Rowing Championships.[3] At the 2017 New Zealand rowing nationals at Lake Ruataniwha, he partnered with Chris Harris in the men's double sculls and they became national champions.[4] Manson also became single sculls national champion, aided by the absence of both Mahé Drysdale and Hamish Bond.[2]

In 2014, Manson came out as gay being one of the first out LGBT persons in rowing from New Zealand.[5]

In 2017, Manson won the men's single sculls at the World Rowing Cup II in Poznań, Poland, setting a new world best time of 6:30.74,[6] beating Mahé Drysdale's record by 3 seconds.[7] As of August 2022 that time still stood as the world's best.

On 20 October 2020, Manson announced his retirement from rowing.[8][9]
