We are looking for a Head of Product, Entertainment & Engagement Platforms — a management team position leading the product organization behind the platforms that power our Sportsbook, Gaming, and Rewards experiences for millions of customers across 20 markets.
Product Strategy & Roadmap
- Own the product vision and prioritized 12-month roadmap across all platform domains, translating commercial mandates from the Sportsbook, Gaming, and Rewards verticals into sequenced, achievable delivery plans;
- Co-create firm-wide products with vertical product leadership, balancing new capability delivery against platform stability and technical-debt reduction;
- Hold final sign-off on roadmap prioritization, platform product capacity allocation, and the product delivery sequence required to fulfil commercial goals;
- Drive measurable outcomes: reduced time-to-market for vertical features, increased adoption of standardized platform capabilities over custom workarounds, and operational efficiency across the functions the platform supports.
People Leadership & Product Culture
- Lead, mentor, and develop an approximately 35-person product organization, fostering a high-performance, accountable product culture that consistently meets Kaizen Gaming's delivery standards;
- Set clear objectives, run performance and development cycles, and build the leadership capability of your management layer of product leads and domain managers;
- Attract, develop, and retain elite product management talent in a highly competitive market.
Organizational Design & Delivery
- Continuously optimize squad formations and the allocation of GPMs/PMs across teams as business priorities shift — producing an agile structure that removes bottlenecks without losing delivery momentum;
- Ensure the product organization's shape always matches vertical demand, scaling domains up or down as the business requires.
Standards & Operational Excellence
- Define and enforce high standards for product discovery, documentation, and delivery across all platform domains, ensuring consistent, high-quality output that vertical teams can rely on;
- Monitor the holistic performance of platform product and operations — spanning CRM, trading operations, and gaming operations platforms — and turn insight into action;
- Embed compliance-by-design and responsible gaming principles into platform product standards across our regulated markets.
Stakeholder Orchestration & Platform Evangelism
- Act as the primary interface for resolving cross-vertical priority conflicts, ensuring the platform remains a scalable enabler for multiple high-revenue product verticals;
- Evangelize platform capabilities firm-wide — promoting the platform's value to secure cross-functional buy-in and proactive adoption;
- Provide senior stakeholders transparent insight into platform performance, trade-offs, and opportunities to support strategic decision-making.
Financial Stewardship
- Share ownership of the vertical's budget (OpEx and CapEx) with the Director of Technology, including the product organization's training and development investment;
- Ensure resource allocation decisions maximize commercial impact and platform leverage.
What you will bring
- 8+ years in product management, with 3+ years leading product teams in high-scale technology environments;
- Proven iGaming industry experience spanning Sportsbook betting, Gaming/Casino, and Rewards/Loyalty, gained at a leading operator or supplier in regulated markets;
- A track record of product-led transformation: moving organizations from technology-led service delivery to commercially aligned, product-led operating models;
- Strong command of agile delivery at scale — squad models, capacity planning, and roadmap management tooling (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Miro, Power BI);
- A strategic, data-driven mindset, fluent in KPIs such as time-to-market, platform adoption, and operational efficiency, with the analytical depth to make evidence-based trade-offs;
- Executive-level stakeholder management, with the credibility to align Heads and Directors across commercial and technology functions;
- A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or equivalent professional experience;
- Fluency in English, with the ability to collaborate effectively in an international environment.
Nice to have:
- Experience operating at the scale and pace of a leading global GameTech / iGaming operator;
- Expertise in platform product management — high-scale, multi-tenant platform environments serving multiple commercial verticals;
- Exposure to real-time, high-traffic transactional systems — sportsbook trading, live betting, real-time CRM, or bonusing engines;
- Experience driving internal platform adoption in a multi-brand or multi-market group.
