Overview

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. This role requires exceptional strategic thinking, deep industry expertise, and the ability to align engineering, commercial, and operational teams around large‑scale product initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Product Leadership

  • Translate industry trends into product opportunities across deposits, payouts, wallet experiences, fraud management, and payment optimization.
  • 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.
  • Navigate organisational complexity to unblock critical initiatives and accelerate delivery of high‑impact capabilities.
• Complex Program Leadership
  • Lead large cross‑team programmes that deliver mission‑critical capabilities for the gambling ecosystem.
  • Break down complex market opportunities into clear strategic initiatives and execution roadmaps.
  • Anticipate regulatory, operational, and technical challenges and proactively design mitigation strategies.
  • Ensure strong execution across teams while maintaining focus on long‑term platform scalability.
• Technical & Platform Leadership
  • Partner closely with engineering and architecture leaders to evolve the payment platform supporting gaming operators and player payment journeys.
  • Drive scalable platform capabilities that support high transaction volumes, regulatory complexity, and global expansion.
  • Guide API strategy, operator integrations, and platform capabilities that enable gaming platforms to seamlessly integrate Paysafe payment products.
• Thought Leadership & Organizational Impact
  • Mentor product managers and elevate product management practices across the organisation.
  • Act as a strategic advisor to leadership on iGaming payment trends, operator needs, and regulatory developments.
  • Contribute to the broader product culture by raising standards for strategic thinking, customer insight, and execution excellence.
