Chief Executive Officer (iGaming)

For our client, we are looking for Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
iGaming | Pre-launch Project
About the Project
We are building a new iGaming business, starting with an online casino and developing toward betting expansion and a multi-brand model.
The project is backed by a private investor, with a three-year strategy and financial model already in place. Ukraine is the primary target market, while selected European markets will be evaluated for further expansion.
The launch is planned on a third-party platform. A CTO, Head of Legal, CMO and marketing team are already in place.
We are looking for an experienced CEO to lead the business from pre-launch through growth, build the management structure and take ownership of commercial performance.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the launch and execute the company’s three-year business strategy.
Translate the strategy and financial model into priorities, budgets, milestones and measurable targets.
Own business performance, including revenue growth, profitability and progress toward investment return.
Build and lead the management team, establishing clear responsibilities and accountability.
Align product, marketing, operations, technology and legal functions around business objectives.
Oversee launch readiness together with the CTO, COO and functional leaders.
Evaluate market performance and define priorities for expansion.
Lead the development of betting and the future multi-brand strategy.
Work directly with the investor, providing clear reporting on results, risks and investment needs.

Requirements

Proven senior leadership experience within an iGaming operator.
Demonstrated success in launching, building or scaling an online casino business.
Strong understanding of operator economics, P&L management and the relationship between acquisition, retention, payments and profitability.
Experience building teams and management processes.
Ability to combine strategic thinking with practical execution at the pre-launch stage.
Commercial judgment supported by data and financial analysis.
Independence in decision-making and clear accountability for results.
Verifiable examples of business outcomes and your personal contribution to them.
A product or operational leadership background is particularly relevant. Candidates whose experience is primarily in affiliate acquisition should demonstrate broader ownership of an operator’s business and financial performance.

What We Offer

The opportunity to build a business from the pre-launch stage.
Direct collaboration with the investor and influence over key business decisions.
An established strategic direction and an existing core leadership team.
Fixed compensation discussed individually.
A potential equity opportunity through an option arrangement linked to investment return, subject to agreed terms.
