What are we looking for now?

A Project Manager to own delivery of specific, high-priority initiatives from kickoff through launch. This is not a status-reporting role - it's an execution and unblocking role. You'll be the single point of accountability for "will this ship, and what's in the way," working closely with the product team to coordinate this, who defines priority and scope, and with engineering, CRM, payments, and compliance stakeholders who build it.

This role exists because priorities are set at the product level, but cross-functional execution - sequencing, dependency management, unblocking teams day-to-day needs a dedicated owner per initiative. You'll typically run one or two concurrent projects rather than managing a portfolio.

What You'll do:

Own the execution plan for an assigned initiative (e.g. platform migration, CRM/gamification rollout, payments integration) from kickoff through go-live and a defined post-launch monitoring period, tracking stability, adoption, and issue resolution before formally closing out the project

Translate scope and priority set by the Product Owner into a working plan: milestones, sequencing, owners, and dependencies

Identify and clear blockers daily - chasing decisions, unblocking engineers, escalating risks before they become delays

Run the operating rhythm for the project: standups, check-ins, and a single source of truth on status

Coordinate across functions (engineering, compliance, CRM, payments, content, acquisition, design) without owning any of them directly

Work hand in hand with the Brand Marketing Lead on relevant initiatives - this partnership is close and ongoing, not a handoff at launch

Flag scope creep, timeline risk, or resourcing gaps early, with options - not just problems

Maintain a clear record of decisions made and why, so the project doesn't relitigate the same debates

Run post-launch retros and feed lessons back into how the next initiative is planned

Produce clear, concise status updates on a regular cadence that a non-technical stakeholder or exec can read in under a minute and immediately know what's on track, what's at risk, and what decision (if any) is needed from them

Build and maintain a project timeline (Gantt chart or equivalent) that accurately reflects sequencing, milestones, and dependencies - and keep it current as reality shifts, not just at kickoff

Write structured risk logs: identify risks before they hit, rate likelihood/impact, assign an owner, and track mitigation - not just a running list of worries

Map and visually communicate cross-team dependencies (who's waiting on whom, what unblocks what) so bottlenecks are visible before they cause delay

What You’ll bring:

3+ years leading cross-functional delivery of technical or product initiatives (platform migrations, integrations, or system rollouts strongly preferred)

Comfortable operating without formal authority - you get things done through clarity and relationships, not org-chart power

Strong instinct for what's actually blocking progress vs. what's just noise in a status update

Clear, concise written and verbal communication - able to brief both engineers and executives on the same update

Experience working alongside Product Owners/Product Managers with a clear understanding of where the line sits between the two roles

Demonstrated ability to write clear status reports and risk analyses - bring writing samples or a portfolio example to interview

Hands-on fluency building and maintaining Gantt charts / timelines and dependency maps (e.g. Jira, Monday, Asana, MS Project, or similar) - this is a working skill we'll ask you to demonstrate, not just a checkbox

Required: prior experience in iGaming - casino and/or sports betting with working knowledge of the space (platforms, CRM/gamification, payments/cashier flows, compliance rhythms) so you can hit the ground running without a long ramp-up

Hybrid working model (office 3 days/ week)
