A project manager is required to join a company which operates in a fast-paced, dynamic and rapidly growing environment, providing customers with the widest variety of betting and gaming products across a multitude of channels. You will be required to embrace a diversity of products, technologies, business requirements, and to operate at the same speed as the business fast.
You will sit within a Project Office with specific division responsibilities for business systems requirements and will be involved in all stages of application / systems development, from assessing initial concepts with the business, right through to delivery, implementation and post live review. You will be critical in the development - implementation process, working closely with the business to define business requirements and providing detailed proposals, including timelines, resource estimates and costs, together with risk analysis and business case justification.

You will need to be flexible and capable of understanding business propositions; hence an analytical approach will be essential. Experience of running projects or lifecycles along a structured methodology will be beneficial as the company loosely follows Prince 2. You will need to be experienced at working with internal customers and external suppliers, and influencing both upwards and downwards, as well as been comfortable working at various levels in the company.
Mandatory skills
Proven track record as a Project Manager / Leader / coordinator, development team leader with experience across the development, management and implementation of complex online, real-time applications, including requirements capture, analysis, design, specification, testing and documentation processes.
