Head of Product - Gaming (12 month FTC) in Leeds

Location: Leeds/London/Ireland/Cluj

Role Overview

We have big aspirations for our Gaming brands to continue to deliver the best player experiences within the industry. To help us do that, we’re looking for an exceptional Head of Product to play a pivotal role in shaping our Betfair International business over the next 12 months, the role being fixed term to cover maternity leave. This is a senior, high‑impact leadership role with full ownership of product strategy, product delivery and product performance. We’re looking for an experienced leader, who’s looking for that next stretch. You’ll not only lead the Product Management team, but you’ll also steer Content and Operations teams, and stretch Product Owners to give full autonomy of the end-to‑end product lifecycle, working closely with Technology and the wider business to turn insight into action and ambition into results. If you’re looking for a defining role in your career, this is an opportunity to make a real and lasting impact.

• Role‑model a challenger mindset and be passionate about giving all players the best experience possible.
• Be a collaborative, visible leader who builds trust across the product squad, technology partners and commercial stakeholders, while keeping the wider business informed and engaged.
• Define and deliver a clear, outcome‑driven product strategy that drives revenue growth, player engagement and long‑term platform advantage.
• Turn compliance into delight by reducing friction, maximising the positive impact of mandated changes, and working closely with Sports & Account to minimise effort to deliver.
• Build and lead a high‑performing function, raising the bar on autonomy, accountability and product excellence.
• Own end‑to‑end portfolio prioritisation, balancing short‑term commercial delivery with long‑term scalability.
• Build on the Product–Technology operating model to enable autonomous squads to deliver high‑quality outcomes with minimal escalation.
• Act as a trusted and credible partner to senior leaders, shaping investment decisions and aligning the organisation around clear priorities.
• Champion differentiated, best‑in‑class player experiences by leveraging platform capability, scale and supplier partnerships.

What You’ll Bring

• Passionate about Product.
• Experience leading product organisations within complex, cross‑functional environments.
• Demonstrated ownership of commercial outcomes, not just feature delivery.
• Strong strategic thinking combined with pragmatic execution.
• Experience operating in platform‑led or supplier‑integrated ecosystems.
• Confident influencing senior stakeholders and navigating ambiguity.
• Proven ability to scale teams and develop future leaders.
• Deep comfort with data, experimentation and performance metrics.
• High standards, resilience and a bias for action.
