About Us

#####

We're a digital entertainment company building modern, high-growth online platforms people genuinely enjoy using. Since 2021, we've scaled quickly across social casino, gaming and interactive entertainment, with teams operating from London, Malta, Gibraltar and Miami.

#####

We prioritise innovative technology, decentralised where possible, and build with an AI-first mindset to deliver high-quality, player-centric experiences. Free from legacy systems and slow decision-making, we move fast, test aggressively, and focus on what drives commercial performance.

#####

Role Overview

#####

This is a high-impact CRM Lead role with full ownership of the CRM, engagement and promotional strategy for one of our core social casino brands.

#####

This is not a campaign delivery role. You will define the CRM vision, proposition framework, promotional strategy, lifecycle architecture and commercial roadmap. You will decide what we offer players, how we segment them, how we monetise them, and how we retain them long-term.

#####

You will be responsible for retention, reactivation, LTV and ARPU growth, with real autonomy to shape strategy, mechanics, promotions and communications. This role is ideal for an experienced casino CRM leader who wants control, scale, and the opportunity to build a best-in-class player engagement engine from the ground up.

#####

Strong casino or social casino CRM experience is essential.
