The Role:

Our Managing Director leads global business development for GGPoker — opening new markets, driving licensing, and regulatory strategy, lobbying, and sourcing and negotiating partnerships across every region we operate in. At any time he is running ten to fifteen live market-entry projects across multiple jurisdictions and time zones.

We are looking for one person to support our Managing Director at the highest level of executive support and manage multiple concurrent projects with real impact on the organization.

As Executive Assistant: You will be given extraordinary access. You will provide executive support to our Managing Director has he manages high-stakes negotiations and sessions with international partners, regulators, and licensing authorities together with senior leaders in a multi-billion dollar business.

In exchange, we expect someone who will do the unglamorous work with the same energy as the interesting work, who is relentlessly organized, and who wants to be genuinely excellent rather than merely busy. This includes inboxes, mails, flights, accommodations, etc.

As Project Manager: Market entry for a global gaming operator is a commercial problem before it is a legal one. The Managing Director holds that judgement. You will be the person who assembles the material he holds it with, and who makes sure that every one of the fifteen files behind it keeps moving.

To be clear about what this role is and is not: the Managing Director leads and sets the strategy. He runs the negotiations and owns the commercial decisions. You support him across all of it — and you own the project management of the entire portfolio outright. You will be present in meetings, hold the record of decisions and actions that comes out of them, and be the reason nothing is ever dropped, forgotten or allowed to go quiet.

What You Will Own:

Portfolio of projects

• Manage market-entry, licensing and partnership projects, tracking status, blockers, owners and milestones
• Keep stalled projects moving and hold internal and external contributors to deadlines
• Run weekly planning, escalate priorities and report progress to the founder and executive team
• Prepare meeting briefs, capture decisions and close action items
• Debrief key meetings and hold the Managing Director accountable for commitments and priorities

Research and reports

• Research markets, competitors and regulations; assess entry costs, taxes, compliance, partner economics and time to revenue.
• Evaluate potential partners, conduct due diligence and recommend options.
• Prepare financial models, deal summaries, negotiation briefs and reports for leadership, regulators and partners.
• Coordinate licensing submissions with Legal and advisors, challenge unclear advice and support advocacy efforts.

Liaison

• Internally: the founder and executive team, the Group Project Manager and development teams, in-house Legal and Regulatory, Finance, Marketing, and local market teams
• Externally: regulators and licensing authorities, external counsel, government relations consultants, commercial partners, and industry bodies and conferences

• 2 years in a commercial environment — business development, market entry or expansion, corporate development, commercial strategy, transaction advisory, or a comparable role where you supported people making commercial decisions.
