Join our agile and innovative gaming company, passionate about creating immersive and cutting-edge gaming experiences. We pride ourselves on a culture of creativity, collaboration, and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of gaming. If you're a highly motivated and skilled specialist passionate about the gaming industry, we want you to join our team.
This is a full-time IN-OFFICE position in Vaughan.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
- Own the product roadmap for your area, from discovery through delivery and iteration
- Translate business goals into structured, well-scoped product specs (BRDs, PRDs, user stories)
- Identify gaps and opportunities across player journey touchpoints; onboarding, payments, bonusing, gamification, retention
Cross-Functional Execution
- Lead sprint planning, backlog grooming, and release coordination with engineering and QA
- Drive projects end-to-end with clear timelines, sequencing, and risk management, without needing a PM above you to keep things on track
- Unblock engineering: write clear acceptance criteria, resolve ambiguity quickly, and make decisions with incomplete information
Stakeholder Management
- Manage up, sideways, and across; legal, compliance, brand, ops, and leadership all have stakes in what you build
- Set expectations proactively, communicate status clearly, and push back constructively when scope creep or priority conflicts arise
- Lead structured reviews and demos; create stakeholder-facing materials that actually get read
Design & UX Quality
- Review UI/UX with a critical eye, challenge flows, question assumptions, and advocate for the player
- Partner with design on wireframes and prototypes; catch edge cases and inconsistencies before they reach engineering
- Hold the bar on quality: if it would confuse a player, it doesn't ship
Legal & Compliance Alignment
- Navigate sweepstakes rules, responsible gaming (RSG) requirements, and jurisdictional constraints, especially US and Ontario
- Work directly with legal to ensure features are compliant before they're designed, not after
Requirements
Must-Haves
- 5+ years of product management experience, with at least 2 years at a senior level
- Proven track record of owning products independently and you drive, you don't wait to be driven
- Deep experience collaborating with engineering teams: you know how to write specs that developers actually want to read
- Strong project and timeline management: you track milestones, flag risks early, and keep delivery on schedule
- Stakeholder management chops: you have managed competing priorities across legal, brand, ops, and leadership, and lived to tell the tale
- Attention to detail sharp enough to catch UX inconsistencies, edge cases in flows, and gaps in AC before they cost sprint cycles
- Strong written communication: your PRDs and updates are clear, concise, and structured
- Comfort operating in ambiguity, this is a scale-up, not a fully mapped enterprise environment
Strongly Preferred
- iGaming, sweepstakes casino,
fintech, or regulated consumer platform background
- Experience with gamification systems, bonus engines, loyalty programs, or payment flows
- Familiarity with sweepstakes legal frameworks (US state-by-state compliance) and/or Ontario iGaming regulations
- Hands-on experience with Jira, monday.com, or Linear for project tracking
- Comfort reviewing Figma files and providing structured design feedback
- Exposure to KYC/identity verification flows, responsible gaming features, or multi-currency systems
Nice to Have
- Experience working with PAM (Player Account Management) platforms
- Familiarity with CRM or lifecycle marketing tools tied to product (e.g. Smartico, Optimove)
- Background in multi-brand or white-label product environments
WHO YOU ARE
- You ask "why" before "how" and you challenge briefs, not just execute them
- You own your failures as clearly as your wins, and you learn fast
- You can go from a rough stakeholder idea to a structured, ready-to-build spec without someone holding your hand
- You have strong opinions, loosely held, and you know when to defer to legal, engineering, or the data
- You get energized by complexity, not paralyzed by it
- You treat players as the end user of everything you ship, if it doesn't serve them, it doesn't ship
- Exciting projects using cutting-edge technologies
- Collaborative and supportive work environment
- Competitive salary and bonuses
- Opportunities for career development, growth and advancement
- Fantastic company events
- Benefits including extended healthcare, dental care, and vision care insurance
