Senior Product Manager in Vaughan

We’re hiring a Senior Product Manager to join a growing digital platform business operating in a highly regulated consumer space. This role is ideal for someone who is confident leading complex initiatives independently and knows how to bring structure, clarity, and momentum to fast-moving product environments. You’ll take ownership of key areas across our platform, working closely with engineering, design, legal, compliance, operations, and leadership teams to deliver features and experiences that improve player engagement, retention, onboarding, and monetization. We’re looking for someone who is proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable making decisions in environments where not everything is fully defined. You should be able to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution and know how to move projects forward without constant direction.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with legal, compliance, operations, brand, and leadership teams throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Communicate project updates, trade-offs, risks, and timelines clearly to stakeholders.
  • Manage competing priorities while maintaining focus on delivery and product quality.
  • Lead product reviews, demos, and stakeholder discussions in a clear and structured way.
  • Build alignment across teams while confidently pushing back when necessary.
• UX & Product Quality
  • Review user flows and designs with a strong attention to usability and player experience.
  • Collaborate with design teams on wireframes and prototypes before development begins.
  • Catch inconsistencies, edge cases, and friction points early in the process.
  • Advocate for intuitive and high-quality user experiences across all touchpoints.
  • Maintain a high standard for product quality and usability.
• Compliance & Regulatory Considerations
  • Work closely with legal and compliance teams to ensure product features meet regulatory requirements from the start.
  • Support initiatives involving responsible gaming, sweepstakes mechanics, payments, and jurisdiction-specific requirements.
  • Navigate compliance considerations across regulated markets, including the US and Ontario.
  • Balance innovation with operational and legal requirements in a fast-changing environment.

Required Experience

• 5+ years of product management experience, including experience operating at a senior level.
• Proven ability to independently own and deliver complex product initiatives.
