Initiatives - Technical Project Manager

As technical project manager within Product Development, you will lead tactical and strategical projects supporting Betsson’s overall long-term technology transformation. You have a strong ability to see the overall holistic technology transformation Betsson is undertaking. Your wide technology understanding gives you the ability to translate the details to different stakeholders at the same time you are strong in leading technology experts. 

The role will require you to support the organization, primarily the tech departments, by running projects which are in line with the business requirements. As the project leader, your job is to plan, budget, oversee and document all aspects of the specific project you are working on, making sure that the project is running on schedule. 

You interact with stakeholders from other technology units and different business functions depending on the type of project. 

As a technical project manager, you will run projects according to best practices both from a project management perspective as well as from a technical perspective.

Much like riding a rollercoaster, sometimes life at Betsson can be lightning fast with twists and turns but always FUN! Then again, what else would you expect from a business 75% millennial and 1700 strong, spread across 7 offices with 900 based out of our Malta HQ alone! We recognise it may not be for the faint-hearted, but if you’re a go-getter, initiator and adrenaline junkie, always striving to push the boundaries and challenge yourself, then you’ll fit right in.
