• Renegotiate, optimise, or terminate partnerships that fail to meet agreed performance and profitability expectations.
• Provide insights on regional market dynamics, competitor activity, emerging trends, and acquisition opportunities to inform broader business strategy.
• Build and develop the regional partnerships organisation as the portfolio scales, including hiring and managing Ambassador and Content Creator Managers.
• Establish clear standards, processes, and performance expectations for partner management across the regional team.
• Balance short-term acquisition opportunities with sustainable player value, ensuring partnership decisions are supported by clear commercial cases.

Requirements

• Proven track record of growing an i Gaming or online poker player base through partnerships and affiliation, with measurable results demonstrated through NGR rather than volume alone.
• Strong experience developing and managing content-focused partnerships, including creators, streamers, influencers, ambassadors, or relevant online communities.
• Deep knowledge of the target regional market, including its poker or i Gaming ecosystem, player behaviour, competitive landscape, and key acquisition channels.
• Native or fluent command of the region's primary language(s), combined with fluent English.

• Highly analytical and results-oriented, with the ability to connect partnership activity to acquisition, FTD, NGR, and profitability metrics.
• Comfortable operating in a challenger-brand environment, with the creativity and adaptability to develop new approaches rather than simply replicating established market leaders.

Benefits
