Senior / Project Manager

Fully remote & Highly profitable online subscription business

The Company & Role:

A rapidly growing and fully remote online subscription business in the online betting space (not a gambling operator). The end of 2020 marked their largest recorded headcount, revenue rate and net profit, and the growth trajectory shows no signs of wavering. Their expanding customer base pays a monthly fee for betting content and access to their software. The company is in a very strong & profitable financial position and are expanding into new markets, so it is a great time to join. They have always operated remotely and will continue to do so long term, whilst supporting their staff in any way they can. They are a privately owned business and a significant % of company profits are re-invested in growth.

They are working on a complete overhaul of their software with no areas left untouched, and their technical team has grown from 5 to more than 12 over the past year, with further growth planned.

With ambitious plans to diversify their software portfolio, and take on long running projects of increasing complexity, they require a Project Manager to review and build upon their approach, and work closely with the team to deliver software projects.

The project manager will work with the team to help refine processes ensuring continuous improvement across the team.

• Work closely with the CTO and other stakeholders to establish best practice for Project Management with particular focus on larger projects and initiatives
• Assist with resource allocation and long term planning
• Project Documentation
