Head of Product (Platform)

Location: Remote from Europe
Reporting to: Director of Product

You will define where the platform needs to go, remove the blockers slowing down Engineering and Product, and build a team and operating model that makes platform a genuine strategic asset - not just infrastructure.

Your mission

• Define and communicate a clear platform vision, strategy, and roadmap aligned with company priorities. Own it end-to-end from first principles through to execution.

• Establish ownership, processes, and prioritisation frameworks for platform initiatives, driving prioritisation based on business, product, and technical needs.

• Lead and grow the platform function, including future hiring decisions and team structure design - with a mature team structure and growth plan established within the first year.

• Partner with Engineering, Product, and executive leadership on cross-functional alignment and planning.

• Ensure the platform supports product scalability, reliability, and long-term technical direction - materially reducing delivery blockers in the first 6 months and delivering measurable improvements in delivery speed, reliability, and scalability over time.

• Represent the platform function at leadership level and contribute to broader company strategy, with platform recognised as a strategic enabler of product growth across the organisation.

What You Bring

• Deep domain expertise in iGaming platform systems, including PAM (Player Account Management), Game Aggregation, Bonus Engine, KYC and compliance flows, Payments and transaction processing, and Player information and data management.

• Proven leadership experience running a platform, infrastructure, or technical product function.

• Strong enough understanding of software architecture, infrastructure, and platform engineering to engage credibly with Engineering and make informed prioritisation decisions.

• A hands-on mindset, willing to roll up your sleeves and contribute directly while keeping the long-term picture in view.

• A track record of building, shaping, and growing teams from the ground up.

• Experience setting strategy and delivering results across multiple teams and stakeholder groups.

• Strong stakeholder management at executive and cross-functional level.

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence at all levels of the organisation.

What's in it for you?

• The chance to make a tangible impact in a rapidly growing, global company.

• A culture that rewards ambition, innovation, and collaboration.

• 28 days paid time off & public holidays.

• Comprehensive benefits package for Malta-based employees, including:

  • Private health insurance, wellness allowance, and communication allowance.

  • Healthy lunch on Wednesdays and a varied calendar of social events throughout the year.
