Chief Executive Officer
Job description
Reports to Board of Directors Location Tbilisi, Georgia — fixed. The right candidate wants to be here by choice. Scope Full-stack iGaming platform (casino + sportsbook) powering 2 internal B2C brands Experience 5+ years in senior iGaming leadership, across at least 3 distinct departments Team leadership Proven track record managing 10+ people across genuinely different roles and disciplines Direct reports 7 leaders from day one — Gaming, Sports, Payments, Dev, HR, Finance, Performance Marketing How they lead A strong judge of character — warm with honest people, firm with dishonest ones, and able to detect it early. Loyal to their people. Stands up for colleagues and pursues solutions on their behalf. Socially present — sets the culture in person, in Tbilisi. Not operating from a distance. Grows the people around them with a long-term view — builds alongside the team, not above it. How they operate Works from the complete picture. Relentless about full context — never selective inputs. Gathers context fast, then decides. Not paralysed, but never skips the work of understanding first. Technically literate — can have a real conversation with the dev team without needing to be a developer. Self-aware about their own weaknesses and actively working on them. How they conduct themselves Emotionally present and genuine — commits fully, and their conduct over time confirms what they projected. Honest and straight in all directions — with the Board, the team, regulators, and partners. Respected in the iGaming community as fair and consistent, independent of internal politics. What you are responsible for Platform and launch Own the go-live plan for both brands — delivery, quality, and readiness across all functions. Work directly with the dev team to close gaps and define what production-ready actually means. Sequence Brand 1 and Brand 2 launches; manage dependencies between them. Team and coordination Align 7 direct reports across competing priorities without losing pace. Develop each direct report — clarity, feedback, and what they need to lead their function. Identify gaps and hire the next layer of leadership as the platform scales. Commercial and GTM Define the proposition for each brand — they serve distinct segments, not the same one. Set acquisition, retention, and revenue targets. Own the P&L from day one of live operations. Oversee market prioritisation and multi-jurisdiction sequencing. Communication Report to the Board with precision — delivery status, risk flags, and financial progress. Translate between the technical team and commercial stakeholders in both directions. Be the communications anchor for the team — visible, honest, and in person. Compliance and risk Own regulatory compliance across all operating jurisdictions. Ensure AML, KYC, responsible gambling, and fraud frameworks are operational before go-live. Build a compliance culture that runs through every vertical — not bolted on at the end. What we offer Genuine backing to do a demanding role in a demanding industry. Straight, transparent dealing in both directions — and respect for your privacy. A culture built on fairness, loyalty, and clear partnership. The chance to build something from scratch, with the capital and the team to do it properly.
