• Build and maintain Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), milestones, and critical paths.
• Manage dependencies, risks, and issues (RAID) proactively.
• Ensure teams are focused on outcomes and delivery, not just activity.
• Drive stakeholder alignment and provide clear, structured reporting.
• Coordinate cross functional teams (engineering, product, QA, external partners).
• Identify blockers early and take ownership of resolution and escalation.
• Support go live planning and delivery readiness.

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years of experience in project delivery, with a strong background working as a Scrum Master or Project Manager.
• Certified Scrum Master (CSM) or equivalent Agile certification (e.g., SAFe, PSM, PMI ACP).
• Strong knowledge of Agile principles, Scrum practices, and the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
• Proficiency with Agile tools such as JIRA, Confluence, Azure DevOps, or equivalent.
• Proven experience delivering complex technical projects (ideally in iGaming, sportsbook, or similar environments).
• Strong ability to bring structure to ambiguity and manage competing priorities.
• Experience managing third party integrations and dependencies.
• Solid understanding of end to end product delivery lifecycle.
• Experience working in Agile or hybrid delivery environments.
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and stakeholder management abilities; ability to operate confidently with senior stakeholders.
• Problem solving and decision making aptitude in a fast paced environment.
• Strong fluency in English (upper intermediate and higher level).

Nice to Have

• Experience delivering sportsbook or betting related products.
• Understanding of real time systems or data driven platforms.
• Exposure to regulated environments.

Why Join The Unit?

• Work on high impact, complex products in a growing industry.
• Be part of a delivery focused, execution driven environment.
• Collaborate with experienced teams across product and engineering.
• Opportunity to own and shape delivery, not just manage process.
