Entain Studios is on the rise, and we need a sharp, hands‑on Operations Manager to help us deliver excellence in our fast‑paced, multi‑market gaming environment. Reporting directly to the Head of Operations you’ll be the backbone of our operational engine—driving efficiency, optimising workflows, and leading our team and Operational streams to keep our studio’s releases on track and compliant across all regulated markets.

• Work closely with Studios, Compliance, Delivery (Operational Stream), Product/Tech, Compliance, RNG, and other internal teams to align operational plans with studio roadmaps, regulatory timelines, and priorities.
• Drive and deliver key cross‑functional product initiatives and operational projects that fall outside the day‑to‑day delivery cycle, e.g. new market expansions, new feature additions.
• Manage team capacity and resource allocation to meet delivery milestones while maintaining agility to respond to shifting priorities or unexpected challenges.
• Monitor operational KPIs, provide transparent reporting to senior leadership, and escalated risks or blockers proactively to keep releases on schedule.
• Ensure all operational activities adhere to the diverse regulatory requirements of each market we operate in, supporting audit readiness and maintaining robust documentation.
• Play an active role in implementing process improvements, tooling upgrades, and organisational changes as Entain Studios continues to grow and scale globally.

• Proven operations management experience in a fast‑moving, regulated environment—gaming or digital product experience preferred.
• Strong people leadership skills with a track record of developing and motivating high‑performing teams.
• Deep understanding of multi‑market compliance, certification, and release processes.
• Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously.
• Data‑driven mindset with ability to analyse operational performance and implement improvements.
• Skilled communicator able to build effective relationships across teams and stakeholders at all levels.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and rapidly changing priorities.
• Experience working with cross‑functional teams and complex delivery roadmaps.
