Product Manager / Product Owner (Back Office) – Contract – Remote – Outside IR35 - £500 per day

We’re hiring a Product Manager / Owner to support one of our highest-priority platform initiatives. This is a central commercial platform , not a front-end user experience role. You’ll be working in a data-heavy, API-led environment , shaping requirements that impact multiple internal teams and upstream/downstream systems.

This is a hands-on execution role , supporting a product team that is approaching a key release. You’ll help turn business needs into clear, actionable delivery items and ensure the engineering team has everything required to move efficiently.

What You’ll Do

• Translate commercial and operational needs into structured product requirements
• Map data flows, upstream/downstream impacts, and system interactions
• Work closely with architects and senior engineers to clarify trade-offs and constraints
• Support backlog refinement, sprint readiness, and prioritisation
• Facilitate discovery and alignment sessions with stakeholders across Product, Engineering, and Commercial teams
• Document workflows and platform behaviours with clarity and consistency
• Challenge assumptions and highlight dependencies early to avoid delivery blockers
• Support testing and validation alongside Product and QA teams

This role sits between Product, Engineering, and Commercial , ensuring clarity, alignment, and momentum.

Must-Have Experience

• Product Business Analyst or Product Owner experience in platform / internal tooling environments
• Strong experience working in API / data integration projects
• Ability to work with architects and discuss data models, system interactions, and work decomposition
• Excellent backlog writing, user stories, acceptance criteria, and refinement skills
• Comfortable navigating multi-system complexity
• Confident communicator who can work with senior stakeholders , including director/C-suite

Nice-to-Have

• Affiliate / iGaming / gaming industry experience, or similar performance-driven commercial platforms
• (The domain experience helps when working with commercial models, partner structures, and bonus/offer logic.)
• Experience supporting the launch or scaling of internal commercial platforms
• Familiarity with Jira, Miro, Confluence , and other collaborative tools

The Environment

• Fast-paced, delivery-focused, highly cross-functional
• Expectation to act with initiative, clarity, and autonomy
• You’ll be stepping into a platform that is mid-launch , where precision and alignment are key
