This is a senior leadership role for a decisive, performance-focused executive who owns both operational and commercial outcomes across our internal brands and external client portfolio. We sell marketing services to clients worldwide, and we are looking for a leader who can drive this business: set direction, build the operational engine, win new business, and be accountable for the division's growth, profitability, and results.

The ideal candidate is strategic, hands-on, and relentless about accountability, speed, and results.

• Scale service delivery across global markets-the US, LATAM, and Europe-accounting for regional nuance, regulation, and client needs
• Set clear targets, deadlines, and accountability across all teams, and challenge underperformance directly
• Drive AI and automation across campaign management, reporting, content production, and operational workflows to build a durable competitive edge
• Own marketing and commercial performance, turning data into decisive action and reallocating resources toward the strongest-performing services, channels, and clients
• Deliver against core iGaming KPIs-ROAS, CPA, CAC, FTD, player LTV, conversion, and retention
• Raise the standard of strategy, creative output, campaign execution, and client delivery
• Build and lead a high-performance culture where ownership, urgency, innovation, and results are non-negotiable
• Lead senior client and partner relationships and present clear, confident recommendations at the executive level
