The Principal Product Manager for iGaming is a strategic role responsible for defining and executing Paysafe’s product strategy across the global regulated gaming industry. This role owns the end‑to‑end product vision spanning both the merchant ecosystem (operators, gaming platforms, affiliates, and payment partners) and the consumer experience (players, wallets, alternative payment methods, and payout experiences). Operating at the intersection of payments, regulation, and digital entertainment, the leader shapes how players fund and withdraw from gaming accounts while enabling operators to maximize conversion, payment performance, and global reach. As a domain expert in the iGaming industry, the Product Manager partners closely with executive leadership to identify strategic opportunities, influence investment decisions, and guide cross‑organizational initiatives that drive long‑term growth in one of Paysafe’s most important verticals.

  • Understand the complex regulatory environment governing gambling payments across global markets and ensure products are designed with compliance and jurisdictional requirements in mind.
  • Represent Paysafe with strategic partners, operators, and industry stakeholders as a trusted payments expert.
• End‑to‑End Ecosystem Ownership
  • Lead product initiatives that span the entire payment journey from player funding through operator settlement and player withdrawals, ensuring a cohesive and optimised payment experience.
  • Own complex initiatives involving multiple product lines including wallets, alternative payment methods, payment processing, fraud and risk management, and regulatory compliance.
  • Ensure Paysafe delivers differentiated value for both operators and players through enhanced conversion, global coverage, and seamless funding and payout experiences.
• Cross‑Functional Alignment and Executive Influence
  • Act as a senior partner to Engineering, Architecture, Compliance, Risk, Operations, and Commercial leadership to drive alignment on large product initiatives.
  • Influence strategic decisions across multiple product organisations to ensure a unified approach to building iGaming capabilities.
  • Present product strategy, performance insights, and investment opportunities to senior leadership and executive teams.
