THE CHALLENGE

Product Strategy & Roadmap Contribution

• Contribute to the Playradar product roadmap across selected teams and initiatives, including planning, prioritization, commercial impact assessment, and delivery alignment.
• Support the definition and prioritization of casino games from market opportunity and concept development through to product direction, launch readiness, and performance review.
• Drive alignment across Product, Engineering, Operations, Commercial, and Go-to-Market teams for assigned product initiatives.
• Challenge priorities, dependencies, and delivery plans constructively to support focus and execution quality.
• Identify risks and bottlenecks early and help coordinate mitigation actions.
• Support the use of KPIs, reporting, and roadmap governance to improve transparency and product performance.
• Facilitate product discussions and help resolve cross‑functional challenges within assigned initiatives.

Product Discovery & Innovation

• Contribute to discovery and innovation initiatives that support the growth and evolution of the Playradar portfolio.
• Explore customer needs, market opportunities, technology trends, competitive dynamics, and partnership opportunities across the gaming ecosystem.
• Develop product concepts, user stories, business cases, and clear recommendations to support decision‑making.
• Support innovation through AI tools, rapid prototyping, and structured experimentation where relevant.
• Coordinate execution across internal teams, external partners, and sports rights holders for assigned initiatives.

Product Delivery & Performance

• Translate customer, player, and business needs into clear product requirements and actionable delivery plans.
• Work closely with Design and Engineering to define features, user experience, acceptance criteria, and release scope.
• Monitor product performance using player behaviour, product analytics, customer feedback, and commercial insights.
• Support post‑launch optimization by identifying opportunities to improve engagement, retention, monetization, and product quality.
• Prepare product updates, performance summaries, and recommendations for stakeholders.

Collaboration & Operational Excellence

• Support planning, prioritization, and coordination across assigned product initiatives.
• Identify opportunities to improve product processes, documentation, communication, and ways of working.
• Maintain clear reporting and operational metrics to track roadmap execution, delivery progress, and product performance.

About You

• 3+ years of experience in Product Management, ideally with experience in the Gaming, Casino Games, or digital entertainment industry.
• Good understanding of gaming products, player behavior, monetization models, regulatory considerations, and market dynamics within the industry.
• Ability to translate customer insight, market understanding, and business needs into clear product requirements and roadmap recommendations.
• Experience working with cross‑functional teams across product, technology, commercial, and operational areas.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence constructively and build alignment.
