FLUTTER ENTERTAINMENT INDIA​

Our office in the heart of Hi-Tech City, Hyderabad, serves as Flutter Entertainment’s Global Capability Center (GCC). Now home to 1,000+ talented colleagues, we are shaping the future of entertainment across critical areas such as Customer Support Operations, Data & Technology, Business Operations (Finance, HR, Procurement), and HR Tech & Analytics.

We are committed to crafting impactful solutions for all our brands and divisions to power Flutter's incredible growth and global impact. Our portfolio of world-class brands, global scale, and challenger mindset presents a powerful combination. We have ambitious growth plans and goals for the future and the global and local scale to achieve them.

OVERVIEW OF THE ROLE ​

We are seeking a strategically minded, commercially astute People Product & Innovation Lead to drive data-led decision making across our global People (HR) product ecosystem. 

This is NOT a traditional Product Owner role. In Flutter's federated operating model, ownership of People products (eg. Workday, Oracle HCM, learning platforms, AI tools) sits across multiple brands and functions. Your role is to act as a strategic advisor and decision enabler - bringing clarity, structure, and insight to complex product and investment decisions.

You will work closely with senior HR, Technology, Procurement, and Finance stakeholders, translating strategic priorities into value-driven product roadmaps and investment decisions.

If you excel in environments where influence matters more than authority, and enjoy solving complex, ambiguous, enterprise-scale challenges, this role is for you!

WHAT YOU WILL BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR  

1. Driving Strategic Alignment in a Federated Model 

• Partner with senior HR and business leaders to shape People Product Strategy
• Translate business priorities into clear, evidence-based product recommendations, showing a key interest in the 'Why' behind their needs. 
• Develop structured decision frameworks to enable informed choices to guide investment and prioritisation
• Influence product roadmap direction across regions without direct ownership
  ​

2. Product Lifecycle and Portfolio Optimisation 

• Evaluate product performance, adoption and value realisation 
• Identify opportunities for consolidation, optimisation and decommissioning 
• Enable scalable, standardised solutions across business

3. Commercial and Vendor Value Management 

• Manage strategic supplier relationships across People Tech landscape
• Partner closely with Procurement on RFPs, renewals and contract optimizations
• Drive cost efficiency, commercial value and improve capability utilisation 
• Hold vendors accountable through performance and value tracking

4. ROI and Value Realisation 

• Build robust business cases and investment frameworks 
• Track ROI, cost savings, and business impact of People products
• Use data, benchmarking, and market insights to guide decisions
• Embed a value-first mindset across all product investments

5. Innovation, AI & Automation 

• Champion responsible AI, automation, and digital innovation across HR 
• Identify opportunities to employee experience and operational efficiency
• Support enterprise-wide HR transformation and digital innovation
• Introduce forward-looking innovation aligned to enterprise strategy 

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

Experience

• 5 to 8 years in Product Management, HR Technology, or Digital Transformation roles
• Proven experience working with HR Systems (e.g, Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM, ServiceNow HR)
• Experience operating within matrixed or federated global organizations
• Demonstrated success in building business cases and tracking ROI

Core Skills 

• Exceptional stakeholder management and influencing skills
• Ability to lead without authority in complex environments
• Strong strategic thinking and analytical capability
• Commercial acumen with confidence in vendor discussions

Mindset 

• Influence over control

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• Higher quality, evidence-based product decisions across the organisation 
• Aligned and prioritised People product roadmap across regions
• Demonstrable ROI and cost optimisation across HR Tech investments
• Strong supplier partnerships delivering measurable value 
• Increased automation, smart technology adoption, and scalable solutions
• High credibility and trust with senior stakeholders
