We are looking for an experienced and commercially minded Head of Online to take ownership of the day-to-day performance, growth and strategic direction of a leading online sportsbook and casino operation.
This is a senior leadership role responsible for overseeing the entire online gaming operation, ensuring the sportsbook and casino platforms deliver an exceptional customer experience while achieving ambitious commercial and revenue targets.
The successful candidate will have a strong understanding of the iGaming ecosystem and be comfortable working across sportsbook, casino, product, trading, payments, customer operations, CRM, marketing, risk and technology.
This is not a traditional marketing position. We are looking for someone who can run an online betting and casino business — understanding the commercial drivers behind the operation, identifying opportunities for growth and ensuring all online functions work together effectively.
The ideal candidate is someone who understands the online gaming business from the inside out.
You could currently be a Head of Online, Head of Gaming, Head of Sportsbook, Online Operations Director, Online Gaming Manager, Operations Director or Senior Online Manager within an iGaming, sportsbook or casino environment.
We are particularly interested in individuals who have had genuine ownership of an online operation, rather than candidates whose experience has been limited to one specific function such as marketing, CRM, trading or customer support.
You will be commercially driven, highly analytical and comfortable making decisions across multiple areas of the online business. You understand that a successful sportsbook and casino operation requires every part of the customer journey to work together — from product and trading through to payments, promotions, customer experience, retention and revenue.
Most importantly, you will be a hands-on leader who can take ownership, identify problems, drive solutions and ultimately be accountable for the performance of the online business.
