Data Product Lead

At WDTS, we are at the forefront of the gaming industry, dedicated to innovating and elevating the casino gaming experience. We specialize in developing cutting-edge casino table games and integrating sophisticated game technology to provide unmatched gaming entertainment.

As the Data Product Lead, your role is both strategic and executional: you will define the vision and lead the development of data-driven products that unlock value across the WDTS platform. You will guide discovery, shape product direction, and drive execution across the product lifecycle—from concept to production and continuous improvement. Working closely with WDTS Product Managers, Commercial and Delivery teams, and the broader Data Strategy & Analytics organization, you will bridge business needs, data capabilities, and product execution. You’ll ensure data is properly collected, structured, and translated into meaningful, client-facing solutions powered by analytical models and machine learning.

You’ll translate operator and business requirements into clear product specifications, collaborate on the design, enhancement, and validation of the underlying models, and oversee execution to ensure measurable impact and stakeholder alignment at every stage.
