Job Description

Inspired by the fastest and most resilient penguin species in nature, we're here to help our clients and players achieve more reach, high-quality traffic, and meaningful engagement. With over 17 years of experience, Gentoo Media is a leading affiliate in the online casino and sportsbook industry through our extensive portfolio of products and services, featuring our flagship websites AskGamblers, Time2Play, CasinoTopsOnline, WSN, Casinomeister, and our SaaS brand-protection tool Sitebee.

IMPORTANT: in order to be considered for this opportunity, please submit your updated CV in English.

The role

The Product Manager is a skilled and independent operational leader of a cross-functional squad, responsible for translating agreed-upon Key Results into a concrete execution plan. They act as the primary bridge between strategic vision and the development team, ensuring every sprint item connects back to a measurable outcome. Although working with a certain level of guidance from senior leadership, they take ownership of the outcomes for their designated product/s.

Rather than simply managing a backlog, the Product Manager empowers the team to discover the best solutions through experimentation and data analysis, while ensuring the squad remains focused on the "why" behind every task.

What you'll be doing

• Key Results Definition: Collaborate with Lead and Senior PMs to define relevant Key Results (KRs) that align with broader strategic Objectives.

• Team Alignment on KRs: Facilitate the adoption of KRs within the cross-functional team to ensure total alignment on the specific metrics used to measure success.

• Roadmap Creation: Transform the backlog from a list of features into a prioritized roadmap of hypotheses and experiments specifically designed to impact Key Results.

• Agile Methodology Implementation: Facilitate agile rituals (sprint planning, reviews, demos) to maintain a consistent delivery cadence and high team morale.

• Outcome Validation: Coordinate with the CRO function to design, implement, and analyze experiments (e.g., A/B tests) to validate ideas before committing to full-scale development.

• Stakeholder & Team Coordination: Act as the primary point of contact for the cross-functional team, managing external requests to ensure the software development team remains focused on sprint goals while providing stakeholders with regular updates on progress and shifts in direction.

Who we're looking for

• Preferably Bachelor’s degree in Business, Computer Science, or a related field.

• 2–3 years of experience in Product Management, preferably within the casino and sport affiliate sector or related high-competition digital services.

• Proven experience driving products from discovery through to delivery and optimization.

• Strong track record of working with cross-functional teams of Developers, SEOs, and Designers in an Agile environment.

• Experience using data from experiments (A/B testing) and web analytics to drive product improvements.

• Solid understanding of the online gambling industry, including its unique challenges and affiliate opportunities.

• Professional certification in Product Management or Agile (e.g., CSPO, PSPO, or similar) is considered an asset.

• Demonstrated agility in navigating rapid changes, such as new regulatory requirements or market shifts, with the ability to pivot roadmaps based on emerging risks or discovered opportunities.

• Proficient with the Atlassian suite (Jira, Confluence) and data analysis tools (e.g., GA, GSC).

• Good understanding of software development processes and web technologies to communicate effectively with engineering.

• Professional working proficiency in English (spoken and written).

• Skilled communicator, with the ability to adjust communication to different levels and stakeholders.

• Ability to empower the cross-functional team toward goals while managing stakeholder requests to maintain direction of the team’s focus.

• Ability to use analytical thinking to break down Key Results into testable hypotheses and remain resilient during roadmap pivots.

• Ability to maintain high precision in defining sprint goals, documentation, and reporting progress to senior leadership.
