As we head into a new year, tombola is doubling down on our ambition to build the best product in the industry. To help us do that, we’re looking for an exceptional Head of Product to play a pivotal role in shaping our future.
This is a senior, high-impact leadership role with full ownership of product strategy, delivery and performance. You’ll lead and inspire our Product Management and Experimentation teams, working closely with Technology and the wider business to turn insight into action and ambition into results.

You’ll be a collaborative, visible leader who builds trust across product squads, technology partners and commercial stakeholders, while keeping the wider business informed and engaged.
Taking a truly insight-led approach, you’ll use data, experimentation and customer research to guide decision-making, optimise performance and ensure we’re always focused on what matters most to our players.
You will also be a member of the Senior Management Team (SMT), contributing to broader business strategy and helping shape tombola’s overall success.
