Blazesoft•Vaughan, ON

26d•Onsite

About The Position

Join our dynamic and innovative gaming company, passionate about creating immersive and cutting-edge gaming experiences. We pride ourselves on a culture of creativity, collaboration, and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of gaming. If you're a highly motivated and skilled specialist passionate about the gaming industry, we want you to join our team. This is a full-time IN-OFFICE position in Vaughan. We're looking for a Senior Product Manager who has been around the block, someone who does not need hand-holding to navigate a complex, fast-paced product environment. You will own significant product surface areas across one or more of our platforms, working closely with engineering, design, legal, and operations to ship features that move the needle on player acquisition, retention, and monetization. This is a high-autonomy, high-accountability role. You will be expected to define problems, build conviction, drive execution, and challenge decisions, including your own, with data and sharp product thinking.

Requirements

5+ years of product management experience, with at least 2 years at a senior level
Proven track record of owning products independently and you drive, you don't wait to be driven
Deep experience collaborating with engineering teams: you know how to write specs that developers actually want to read
Strong project and timeline management: you track milestones, flag risks early, and keep delivery on schedule
Stakeholder management chops: you have managed competing priorities across legal, brand, ops, and leadership, and lived to tell the tale
Attention to detail sharp enough to catch UX inconsistencies, edge cases in flows, and gaps in AC before they cost sprint cycles
Strong written communication: your PRDs and updates are clear, concise, and structured
Comfort operating in ambiguity, this is a scale-up, not a fully mapped enterprise environment

Nice To Haves

iGaming, sweepstakes casino, fintech, or regulated consumer platform background
Experience with gamification systems, bonus engines, loyalty programs, or payment flows
Familiarity with sweepstakes legal frameworks (US state-by-state compliance) and/or Ontario iGaming regulations
Hands-on experience with Jira, monday.com, or Linear for project tracking
Comfort reviewing Figma files and providing structured design feedback
Exposure to KYC/identity verification flows, responsible gaming features, or multi-currency systems
Experience working with PAM (Player Account Management) platforms
Familiarity with CRM or lifecycle marketing tools tied to product (e.g. Smartico, Optimove)
Background in multi-brand or white-label product environments

Responsibilities

Own the product roadmap for your area, from discovery through delivery and iteration
Translate business goals into structured, well-scoped product specs (BRDs, PRDs, user stories)
Identify gaps and opportunities across player journey touchpoints; onboarding, payments, bonusing, gamification, retention
Lead sprint planning, backlog grooming, and release coordination with engineering and QA
Drive projects end-to-end with clear timelines, sequencing, and risk management, without needing a PM above you to keep things on track
Unblock engineering: write clear acceptance criteria, resolve ambiguity quickly, and make decisions with incomplete information
Manage up, sideways, and across; legal, compliance, brand, ops, and leadership all have stakes in what you build
Set expectations proactively, communicate status clearly, and push back constructively when scope creep or priority conflicts arise
Lead structured reviews and demos; create stakeholder-facing materials that actually get read
Review UI/UX with a critical eye, challenge flows, question assumptions, and advocate for the player
Partner with design on wireframes and prototypes; catch edge cases and inconsistencies before they reach engineering
Hold the bar on quality: if it would confuse a player, it doesn't ship
Navigate sweepstakes rules, responsible gaming (RSG) requirements, and jurisdictional constraints, especially US and Ontario
Work directly with legal to ensure features are compliant before they're designed, not after
Ask "why" before "how" and challenge briefs, not just execute them
Own your failures as clearly as your wins, and learn fast
Go from a rough stakeholder idea to a structured, ready-to-build spec without someone holding your hand
Have strong opinions, loosely held, and know when to defer to legal, engineering, or the data
Get energized by complexity, not paralyzed by it
Treat players as the end user of everything you ship, if it doesn't serve them, it doesn't ship
