Overview of the Role:
We are looking for an experienced and autonomous Senior Product Owner to own the product strategy, roadmap, and delivery for our Sportsbook back-end platform. You will be the primary product authority for your domain - defining the vision, setting priorities, and driving outcomes across engineering, operations, and business stakeholders. This is not a supporting role; you will lead independently, make high-impact decisions, and be accountable for measurable results.
You will work closely with development teams, business stakeholders, data analysts, and external partners to deliver scalable, compliant, and high-quality sportsbook solutions. Deep familiarity with back-end systems and the gambling industry is expected, not optional.
What You'll Do:
Own the product roadmap for the Sportsbook back-end domain end-to-end - from discovery through delivery and post-launch optimisation - with full accountability for outcomes and KPIs.
Define and drive product vision for your domain, aligning engineering teams, business stakeholders, and leadership around a clear and compelling direction.
Lead product discovery independently, including hypothesis generation, requirements gathering, scoping, and solution design in collaboration with engineering, data, and design teams.
Own and maintain a healthy, prioritised backlog, making autonomous prioritisation decisions based on business value, technical feasibility, regulatory requirements, and strategic goals.
Author high-quality product specifications - detailed user stories with clear acceptance criteria, edge case handling, and visual aids (wireframes, flowcharts, sequence diagrams) - ensuring development teams have everything they need to deliver.
Drive cross-functional alignment across engineering, operations, compliance and external partners, acting as the single point of accountability for your product area.
Define and track success metrics for all initiatives, owning the measurement framework and iterating based on data and live product performance.
Oversee UAT and release readiness, setting quality standards and ensuring new features meet functional, regulatory, and performance expectations before launch.
Represent the product in stakeholder forums, including leadership reviews, sprint demos, and external partner discussions, communicating progress, risks, and decisions with confidence.
Maintain product documentation and internal wikis to a high standard, ensuring they reflect the current state of the platform and are accessible to all relevant teams.
Continuously assess the live product, proactively identifying gaps, degradations, and improvement opportunities - and driving resolution without waiting to be asked.
Mentor and support junior Product Owners, sharing domain knowledge, reviewing their output, and raising the overall quality of product practice within the team.
What You'll Bring:
Must
5+ years of Product Owner or Product Manager experience, with at least 2 years in a senior or lead capacity owning a product domain independently.
Proven track record of owning a product roadmap and delivering measurable business outcomes - not just managing a backlog, but driving strategy and results.
Deep expertise in Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe), including sprint planning, backlog refinement, and cross-team dependency management in fast-paced environments.
Strong stakeholder management skills, including experience influencing senior leadership, aligning cross-functional teams, and navigating competing priorities.
Data-driven decision-making, with experience defining KPIs, analysing product metrics, and using data to inform prioritisation and iteration.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical and regulatory requirements into clear, actionable product decisions.
Desirable but Not Required
Strong understanding of back-end systems architecture, distributed microservices, databases, and API-driven ecosystems, with the ability to translate technical concepts into product decisions and stakeholder value.
Familiarity with back-end systems in sports betting, including bet placement/settlement, real-time data processing, risk management, regulatory compliance and external integrations.
A personal passion for sports or sports betting can be an added advantage, as it helps understand user needs and industry trends.
