Description du poste

About the Role

We\'re looking for a Project Manager to own delivery of specific, high-priority initiatives from kickoff through launch. This is not a status-reporting role - it\'s an execution and unblocking role. You\'ll be the single point of accountability for "will this ship, and what\'s in the way," working closely with the product team to coordinate this, who defines priority and scope, and with engineering, CRM, payments, and compliance stakeholders who build it.

This role exists because priorities are set at the product level, but cross-functional execution - sequencing, dependency management, unblocking teams day-to-day needs a dedicated owner per initiative. You\'ll typically run one or two concurrent projects rather than managing a portfolio.

What You\'ll Do

• Own the execution plan for an assigned initiative (e.g. platform migration, CRM/gamification rollout, payments integration) from kickoff through go-live and a defined post-launch monitoring period, tracking stability, adoption, and issue resolution before formally closing out the project
• Translate scope and priority set by the Product Owner into a working plan: milestones, sequencing, owners, and dependencies
• Identify and clear blockers daily - chasing decisions, unblocking engineers, escalating risks before they become delays
• Run the operating rhythm for the project: standups, check-ins, and a single source of truth on status
• Coordinate across functions (engineering, compliance, CRM, payments, content, acquisition, design) without owning any of them directly
• Work hand in hand with the Brand Marketing Lead on relevant initiatives - this partnership is close and ongoing, not a handoff at launch
• Flag scope creep, timeline risk, or resourcing gaps early, with options - not just problems
• Maintain a clear record of decisions made and why, so the project doesn\'t relitigate the same debates
• Run post-launch retros and feed lessons back into how the next initiative is planned
• Produce clear, concise status updates on a regular cadence that a non-technical stakeholder or exec can read in under a minute and immediately know what\'s on track, what\'s at risk, and what decision (if any) is needed from them
• Build and maintain a project timeline (Gantt chart or equivalent) that accurately reflects sequencing, milestones, and dependencies - and keep it current as reality shifts, not just at kickoff
• Write structured risk logs: identify risks before they hit, rate likelihood/impact, assign an owner, and track mitigation - not just a running list of worries
• Map and visually communicate cross-team dependencies (who\'s waiting on whom, what unblocks what) so bottlenecks are visible before they cause delay

What We\'re Looking For

• 3+ years leading cross-functional delivery of technical or product initiatives (platform migrations, integrations, or system rollouts strongly preferred)
• Comfortable operating without formal authority - you get things done through clarity and relationships, not org-chart power
• Strong instinct for what\'s actually blocking progress vs. what\'s just noise in a status update
• Clear, concise written and verbal communication - able to brief both engineers and executives on the same update
• Experience working alongside Product Owners/Product Managers with a clear understanding of where the line sits between the two roles
• Demonstrated ability to write clear status reports and risk analyses - bring writing samples or a portfolio example to interview
• Hands-on fluency building and maintaining Gantt charts / timelines and dependency maps (e.g. Jira, Monday, Asana, MS Project, or similar) - this is a working skill we\'ll ask you to demonstrate, not just a checkbox
• Required: prior experience in iGaming - casino and/or sports betting with working knowledge of the space (platforms, CRM/gamification, payments/cashier flows, compliance rhythms) so you can hit the ground running without a long ramp-up

What We Offer

• Hybrid working model (office 3 days/ week)
• Innovative international company that uses cutting-edge tech equipment
• Collaborative teams and agile multicultural environment
• Competitive salary with flexible working hours
• 23 paid vacation days + public holidays
• Private health insurance for you and your family
• Free Online English/Spanish lessons
• Corporate events throughout the year
• Ongoing learning and professional development opportunities

In-office perks

• Daily breakfast and freshly cooked lunch 3 days a week
• 50% discount on personal training sessions and physiotherapy sessions
• Games room, full kitchen with hot drinks, fruit, soft drinks
• Gym, massage room and much more
