You will define roadmaps in collaboration with AI engineers and data scientists, and champion quality and delivery across the full product lifecycle. THE CHALLANGE: Define and own the product vision and roadmap for AI-powered betting products.

Coordinate cross-functionally between AI engineering, Live Data operations, QA, and go-to-market teams to ensure smooth product launches. Oversee the overall landscape of AI-driven opportunities for Live Data, proactively proposing new product concepts and enhancements. Help offload operational and product-related tasks from the AI team, allowing them to focus on core technical delivery. Drive quality standards and contribute to continuous improvement of product processes and deliverables. ABOUT YOU: 5+ years of product management experience, ideally in data-intensive or AL/ML - driven product environments. Strong understanding of the sports betting industry, including trading, odds compilation, in-play markets, and related data products. Demonstrated ability to translate technical AL/ML concepts into commercial product opportunities. Experience working closely with engineering and data science teams in agile environments. Excellent analytical skills with the ability to define KPIs, interpret model outputs, and make data-driven decisions. Outstanding communication and stakeholder management skills - comfortable presenting to both technical teams and senior leadership. Strategic thinker with a hands-on, execution-oriented mindset. Experience with predictive analytics, machine learning products, or sports data platforms is a strong plus. Familiarity with data visualisation tools (Tableau, Power BI) and basic SQL knowledge is advantageous. OUR OFFER: A collaborative environment with colleagues from all over the world (Engineering offices in Europe, Asia and US) including various social events and teambuilding. Flexibility to manage your workday and tasks with autonomy. A balance of structure and autonomy to tackle your daily tasks. Vibrant and inclusive community, including Women in Tech and Pride groups which welcome all participants. Global Employee Assistance Programme. Calm and Reulay app (leading well-being apps designed to support focus, quality rest, mindfulness, and long-term mental resilience). Online training videos. Flexible working hours. While we appreciate the flexibility and benefits of working from home, we strongly believe that coming together in person fosters stronger connections, encourages collaboration, and drives innovation—both as individuals and as a company. The energy, shared ideas, and team support we experience in the office strengthen the foundation of our success and culture. For this reason, we are an office-first business operating on a hybrid model, with team members working in the office three days a week to build relationships, exchange ideas, and grow together.

Online Interview: An online conversation with the Hiring Manager to discuss your overall fit for the role and product management experience. Onsite Interview: An in‑person interview with team members, including a technical discussion and a conversation to assess team fit. Final Interview: A final discussion to align on open topics, clarify mutual expectations, and determine next steps. If successful, this is followed by an offer.
