Overview:

SOFTSWISS continues to expand the Sportsbook Product Team and is looking for a passionate Product Manager who is ready to take ownership of product areas that directly impact player experience, operational efficiency, and business growth.

You will become part of a fast-growing international product company building one of the leading Sportsbook platforms in the iGaming industry. We are looking for a proactive and business-oriented professional who can transform ideas into well-structured product solutions, adopt and drive new processes, and take on operational ownership that lets the team scale.

Purpose of the role:

In this role, you will work closely with Risk, Operations, Design, Analytics, and Engineering teams to create features that improve betting experience, scalability, retention, and partner satisfaction. You will work alongside our team of Product Owners as a peer, bring structure to how we work, and take on operational responsibilities that free up leadership to focus on strategy.

• Identify, propose, and drive adoption of new processes across the product team

• Take on operational workflows and reporting currently owned by product leadership

• Act as a reliable owner for recurring operational tasks (monitoring, reporting, cross-team coordination)

• Continuously improve product delivery practices and team ways of working

Stakeholder Management

• Maintain transparency around priorities, risks, and delivery timelines

Required Experience:

• 3+ years of experience as a Product Owner, Business Analyst, or Product Manager in digital products

• Experience in Sportsbook, Betting, or iGaming products

• Understanding of sportsbook mechanics, odds, betting flows, or player behavior

• Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments

• Strong skills in backlog management and requirements definition
