Senior Product Manager
BlueLabs
Mar 2024 - Mar 2025
1 year 1 month
Remote, OR 97458, USA
BlueLabs is a dynamic and fast-growing startup operating in the iGaming and Sports Betting industry, enabling B2B partners to deliver an unparalleled gaming experience to their customers. As the founding Product Manager, reporting to the CTO, I've been the main "connector" for the four internal development teams (Client, Platform, Data and Infra): from creating and managing an actionable roadmap, leading the product development cycles and understanding the needs of our B2B customers and end customers (players). I uplifted the product management responsibilities from the CTO while helping the team onboarding and launching the biggest partnership to date as well as introducing new tools and frameworks - from implementing a Product Trio strategy (working together with the CEO and CTO to understand and refine business priorities) to raise focus on Discovery and accelerating Delivery (aka Dual-Track). Some of the experimentations were more impactful then others and continue learning has been key as well as adapting product management to the company style and needs...as they say, you never get a dulled moment in building and shipping software.
