INFRASTRUCTURE CORE PROCESS & PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The Infrastructure Core Process & Project Management team is part of Playtech’s Infrastructure organization and focuses on enabling effective infrastructure delivery through clear processes and internal initiatives. The team works across infrastructure and operations units to improve visibility, consistency, and scalable ways of working, without owning or operating platforms directly. This is a small, highly focused team responsible for improving existing processes, supporting internal R&D and cross‑team projects, and establishing well‑governed practices. You will report to the Infrastructure Operation Manager and collaborate closely with the Infrastructure Process Manager in a collaborative, improvement‑driven environment.
