Head of Marketing Operations / Deputy Marketing Director

BettingJobs is partnering with an ambitious iGaming operator to appoint a Head of Marketing Operations based in Dubai. This is a senior leadership role at the centre of a multi-brand marketing organisation. You will be the Marketing Director's operational right-hand and make sure the strategy actually gets delivered, at pace, across every channel.
The Marketing Director sets the direction, and you make it happen. You'll turn priorities into clear projects with owners and deadlines, and keep specialist teams accountable. You'll also remove the blockers that slow delivery. This isn't an acquisition role. It's a department-wide management and operations position with visibility across Affiliates, CRM, Social, Performance, SEO, Creators and Analytics. It would suit a commercially sharp marketing leader who enjoys running the machine as much as shaping it. There's scope to build out a team of Growth Managers over time.

Responsibilities:

• Coordinate execution across all marketing channels and specialist teams
• Translate marketing priorities into structured projects, owners and deadlines
• Drive follow-up and accountability so delivery doesn't depend on the Director
• Lead major campaigns, new brand launches and cross-functional projects
• Identify and resolve bottlenecks, and improve internal processes and communication
• Support planning, budgeting and resource allocation across brands and functions
• Build and manage a team of Growth Managers and marketing resources as the function grows

Requirements:

• Senior marketing management, marketing operations or similar leadership experience within an established marketing organisation
• Strong iGaming background preferred; crypto, fintech, gaming or other fast-moving digital experience also considered
• Offshore iGaming experience is a major advantage; large licensed operator experience is also highly relevant
• Australian market exposure beneficial
• Strong people and project management skills
• Commercially minded, and able to lead multiple specialist functions without being the expert in each
• Willing to relocate to Dubai (office-based)
