Product Owner

About Us

We are a leading provider in the sports betting and gaming industry, known for our innovative approach and high-quality products. As we continue to expand our product offering, we are looking for a talented and experienced Sportsbook Product Owner to join our dynamic team.

Job Description

We are seeking a Product Owner to help shape and continuously improve our Sportsbook platform, taking ownership of defined features and initiatives from discovery through delivery and post-launch. You will work within a structured product team, partnering closely with a senior Product Manager while having meaningful ownership of your assigned product areas.

As you demonstrate impact, sound judgement, and domain mastery, you will progressively take on broader ownership and greater autonomy. This role offers a clear path for developing your expertise in product discovery, prioritisation, stakeholder management, and the Sportsbook domain.

Key Responsibilities

Create clear and comprehensive product requirements by writing user stories with well-defined acceptance criteria and providing visual aids such as wireframes and flowcharts when needed, ensuring development teams have the information needed to achieve the desired outcomes.

Participate in and contribute to product discovery for assigned initiatives, generating hypotheses, gathering requirements, and proposing solutions in close collaboration with the Product Manager, senior colleagues, product designers, data analysts, and engineering teams.

Manage and prioritise the product backlog for assigned features and initiatives, working closely with the Product Manager to ensure priorities reflect business value, customer needs, technical feasibility, and strategic goals.

Contribute to product direction and strategy for assigned initiatives, ensuring that feature decisions align with the broader product vision, strategic goals, and customer needs.

Work closely with development teams by answering questions, clarifying requirements, resolving product-related issues, and helping remove blockers to facilitate timely product delivery.

Collaborate with other departments as needed to ensure successful product outcomes. Define success metrics for your initiatives where appropriate, track them through delivery and post-launch, and report progress and learnings to the Product Manager.

Communicate updates on product releases and the status of ongoing development efforts to the broader organization, ensuring transparency and alignment.

Coordinate and support user acceptance testing (UAT) for new product releases, ensuring that functionality meets the agreed requirements and acceptance criteria.

Maintain product documentation and internal wikis, ensuring they are always up-to-date and accessible for relevant teams.

Conduct demos and training sessions for stakeholders on new product concepts and releases, ensuring effective knowledge transfer and adoption.

Continuously assess the live product, identifying areas for improvement and addressing gaps between the expected and actual user experience. Develop improvement proposals and work with the Product Manager to prioritise and implement them.

Key Requirements

Must

2–4 years of Product Owner, Business Analyst, or equivalent product role experience, with demonstrable ownership of features through the full delivery lifecycle - from discovery through post-launch.

Solid experience managing and prioritising a product backlog, working closely with the Product Manager and development teams to deliver value incrementally.

Solid experience with Agile practices (Scrum, Kanban), including sprint planning, sprint reviews, and backlog refinement, with the ability to work effectively in fast-paced, iterative environments.

Experience writing clear, actionable user stories and defining well-structured acceptance criteria, ensuring development teams and stakeholders have a shared understanding of requirements and intended outcomes.

Strong ability to work with cross-functional teams, including engineering, data, product design, business analysis, marketing, and operations.

Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills, with the ability to identify issues, evaluate options, make informed trade-offs, and drive resolution across both product development and live operations.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts in a simple and accessible way for non-technical stakeholders.

Desirable but Not Required

A solid understanding of backend systems, including architecture, databases, APIs, and microservices.

Prior experience in the gambling, betting, gaming, or sportsbook industry will be considered a plus.

An interest in sports, sports betting, or the broader gambling industry is an advantage and can help build domain knowledge quickly.

What success looks like in this role

Within the first 6 months, you will have led the delivery of at least one product initiative as the primary Product Owner, with PM oversight - produced high-quality specifications that required minimal rework, and demonstrated consistent, proactive communication with your team and stakeholders.

Within 12 months, you will be operating with increasing autonomy, contributing meaningfully to discovery with reduced reliance on PM guidance, and demonstrating a growing command of the domain and its technical underpinnings.
