Smarkets: Predicting the Future of Betting

Smarkets runs one of the world’s most sophisticated prediction markets, handling over £29 billion in volume since 2010 and engaging 200,000+ traders globally. We’re a technology company that happens to revolutionise betting - from sports to political markets, to delivering the sharpest prices and the fairest odds.

At the heart of our success are our people. We create a high-performance environment where exceptional talent can thrive, blending deep business experience with a commercial mindset to drive strategic growth.

If you’re ready to help shape the future of prediction markets with cutting-edge technology and a customer-first philosophy, Smarkets is where you belong.

The Team

The Product Team is responsible for making sure Smarkets builds products that customers love and that move the commercial needle. Smarkets operates two products - SBK, a retail sports betting app, and the Smarkets Exchange, a peer-to-peer trading app - across multiple jurisdictions and licences, with an expanding footprint in US prediction markets. This puts product at the intersection of customer experience, trading, regulation and commercial strategy.

• Product Discovery & Strategy: Identifying the highest-impact opportunities across acquisition, activation, retention and monetisation, and turning them into a clear, sequenced roadmap.

• Product Delivery & Execution: Working day-to-day with engineering and design to ship high-quality features quickly, with well-defined scope, owned contracts and a clear definition of done.

• Product Analytics & Experimentation: Measuring everything — funnels, cohorts, ARPU, retention - and using data and experiments to decide what to build next and whether it worked.

In a typical week, a Product Manager at Smarkets will:

• Ship a customer-facing feature end-to-end, from spec and design review to release and post-launch analysis.

• Dig into Lightdash and SQL to understand a funnel drop-off, cohort trend or revenue driver, and turn the finding into a decision.

• Work with trading, compliance and commercial teams to ensure new products are viable across our regulatory environments.

About the Role:

You will work hand-in-hand with the Product and Engineering Managers for our customer-facing applications (SBK & Smarkets), acting as their operational backbone. This is an accelerated opportunity for systematic thinkers to master the product life cycle and grow into a full Product Manager role. Your core mission is to drive product delivery and user insight by:

• Supporting the Lead PM across discovery, prioritisation, and delivery.

• Owning the QA and release processes across our two customer-facing brands.

• Leading the user-research programme to keep our roadmap laser-focused on customer value.

What you will do:

• Roadmap & Execution: Coordinate agile rituals, manage the product backlog, maintain stakeholder alignment, and unblock execution for the Lead PM.

• Product Discovery & User Research: Own the user research process; schedule and run interviews, craft surveys, and synthesize findings into actionable customer insights.

• QA & Releases: Manage the end-to-end QA and release cycle (Smarkets and SBK), including test planning, App Store/Play Store submissions, post-release monitoring, and bug triage.

• Process Optimisation: Translate vague problem statements into clear user stories and acceptance criteria, ensuring readiness before sprint kick-offs.

• Data Analysis: Analyze feature usage, sign-up funnels, and in-app behaviour to influence roadmap priorities.

• Market Intelligence: Conduct competitive tear-downs of betting, fintech, and gaming apps to spot improvements.
