Position: Junior Product Manager
Category: Project Manager
English level: upper
Years of experience: 2.5

I embarked on my career journey in a support role, working as a support agent. Through dedication and hard work, I gradually progressed within the company and eventually assumed the position of Team Lead, leading a team of support agents.

Seeking new challenges, I transitioned to a role as an Integration Manager in an IT company that specialized in gambling game provision. This position allowed me to utilize my strong communication skills effectively. As the intermediary between our team and clients, I managed the entire integration process, starting from its inception to the final production phase.

Later, I had the privilege of exploring the other side of the industry by joining another company where I had to work with a full-fledged online casino, as a Product Manager. Within the company, I worked alongside several other product managers, each responsible for specific areas. My primary focus revolved around games, encompassing tasks such as establishing partnerships, negotiating contracts, enhancing product features, training support agents, managing support tasks, conducting market and competitor analysis, and overseeing comprehensive testing procedures. My responsibilities were pretty diverse :) 

However, while I greatly appreciated the breadth of my responsibilities, I yearned to specialize and deepen my expertise in a specific area. Consequently, I have decided to explore new opportunities and currently find myself actively seeking a new job that aligns with my career aspirations.
