We are Allwyn UK, part of the Allwyn Entertainment Group – a multi-national lottery operator with a market-leading presence across Europe which includes Czech Republic, Austria, Greece, Cyprus & Italy.
While the main contribution of The National Lottery to society is through the funds to good causes, at Allwyn we put our purpose and values at the heart of everything we do. Join us as we embark on a once-in-a-lifetime, largescale transformation journey by creating a National Lottery that delivers more money to good causes.
We’ll talk a bit more about us further down the page, but for now – let’s talk about the role and who we’re looking for…
A bit about the role…
Instant Win Games (IWGs) are digital games loved by National Lottery players. With game types including online Scratchcards, Bingo, Word, Board & Dice, and with prizes ranging from 25p to over £1 Million – there is something for everyone!
The IWG Product Executive will report into the IWG Product Manager and will be responsible for supporting the delivery of the Instant Win Games roadmap and category innovation. This is a great opportunity to get into gaming and play a key role in providing a high-quality Instant Win Games experience for existing and new consumers, to help raise millions for Good Causes.
We operate a hybrid working model requiring employees to work from the office 3 days per week. These in-office days will be spread across the standard working week (Monday - Friday).
What you’ll be doing…
* Support with the delivery of the game roadmap, to ensure innovative and appealing games are always available to players.
* Work alongside the IWG Assistant Product Managers and other IWG Product Executive and support the end-to-end design, development and delivery process.

* Complete game checklists and support game owners on game slide creation for the weekly game governance meeting.
* Work with internal stakeholders including the Allwyn Game Studio, Content, Legal and QA, to gain the required game approvals.
* Create and maintain key trackers, reports and checklists on a regular basis as part of our licence requirements.
* Work with the IWG Product Team to support the activities of the team, including providing feedback and ideas in creative review and team brainstorm sessions.
* Keep up to date with market trends in the lottery and iGaming space, to help identify new opportunities.
What experience we’re looking for…
* A great team player, who is reliable, willing to learn, ambitious, naturally organised, collaborative and enthusiastic.
* Strong attention to detail.
* Demonstrable oral and written communication skills.
* Ability to manage multiple projects and hit deadlines.
* Comfortable working with cross-functional teams, internal stakeholders and external partners.
* A keen interest and passion for gaming.
* Demonstratable knowledge and understanding of Instant Win Games is a strong plus.
Key Measures of Success:
* Ability to manage multiple games and tasks, ensuring the required production and post-production processes are completed to a high standard and games are launched on time.
* Build and maintain strong relationships with internal stakeholders, teams and external partners.
About us:
We’ve developed ground-breaking technologies, built player protection frameworks, and have a proven track record of making lotteries better.
* Innovation - We pride ourselves on it! We’re constantly looking for new ways to excite our customers, bringing new products to enjoy which is all underpinned by our responsible play values and making them accessible to all.
* Giving back – Did you know that playing the lottery generates around £30m a week for charities and good causes in the UK? Our aim is to have doubled this number by the end of the first 10-year licence.
* Sustainability – Our aim to be net zero by 2030 which would make us the first lottery provider globally to achieve this.
* Inclusion and accessibility – We are making all parts of The National Lottery inclusive – whether you play a game in a store or online.
