The Role We're looking for a Head of Product to shape product strategy in collaboration with the CEO and CTO and then drive the execution of that strategy with the broader team. You will report to the CEO and lead the product and design teams. This will start as a player-coach role, you'll be hands-on leading one product team while managing the overall product function and setting the strategic guardrails the team works within. You'll lead a talented product manager, an experienced designer, and a product analyst - and work with a growing engineering team. Your job is to channel the team's energy into focused, hypothesis-driven, evidence-based product development. This is also a growth role for you. As Stakemate scales, you'll move from a player-coach to take on broader leadership responsibilities taking on more of the strategy, expanding the product team, entering new markets, and shaping the product organisation from the ground up. If you want to build something, not just manage something, this is the opportunity. About Stakemate Founded in summer 2022, Stakemate is revolutionizing sports betting by putting social features and seamless interfaces at the forefront. We're a profitable startup that's grown over 15x in the last year, and we're just getting started. Recognized by EGR as one of the most innovative startups in gaming, we're scaling fast and shaping the next generation of sports entertainment. We have built a product that users genuinely love with unlimited betting group chats, multi-game bet builders, and an experience designed for how people actually want to bet: together. Revolut disrupted Barclays, Robinhood disrupted Etrade, Stakemate is executing in the same way to take on the traditional gaming sector. Learn more at or download our app to see what we're building. What We're Looking For Mobile consumer product experience: ideally in social, gaming, or B2C apps. Passion for social, responsible betting: you get that the best product isn't the one that maximises extraction, it's the one mates genuinely love using together. Strong discovery and user research chops: you run research, not just commission it. Design sensibility: you can meaningfully collaborate with designers and push product quality. Player-coach instinct: comfortable being hands-on in the work while developing others. Strategic sequencing: you know how to break big bets into testable increments and prioritise ruthlessly Data literacy: comfortable with Mixpanel, retention curves, and using behavioural data to inform decisions Calm under pressure: betting is a volatile business; you'll need to stay focused on the longer game while the numbers swing week to week What You'll Do Lead the product function: set product strategy from Founder's vision, roadmap priorities, and decision-making frameworks across two squads. Be hands-on in one squad while managing the PM who leads the other squad. Drive user research and discovery: establish rigorous customer conversation habits, hypothesis testing, assumption validation, and data driven experimentation. Work closely with the designer on user experience and product quality: you need genuine design sensibility, not just wireframe sign-off. Partner with the CTO: on delivery cadence, reducing cross-team dependencies, and closing the gap between idea and launch. Drive international expansion: have a UK+1 mindset to the product in scaling across different jurisdictions. Nice to Have Experience in managing not only product but design and data teams. Experience with regulated industries (gambling compliance, responsible gaming). Familiarity with EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) or similar operating frameworks. Experience scaling product teams from 3-5 to 10+. Interview Process 45 min screening call and intro to Stakemate. 45 min call with our Product Advisor. 60 min whiteboard session (in person). Meet in person with the team (in person). What We Offer Competitive salary reflective of the strategic importance of this role. Meaningful equity package: you're building something valuable, you should own a piece of it. Flexible hybrid model Mon/Tue/Thu in our 79-81 Borough Rd office. Direct access to the founder and real strategic influence. Substantial opportunity for career growth as the company scales.
