  • Building high-performing teams from scratch, including hiring, coaching, and developing managers, supervisors, and frontline agents
  • Developing leadership bench strength through mentoring, succession planning, and structured manager/supervisor development programs
  • Overseeing medium- to large-scale contact center operations with a strong emphasis on people development and operational excellence
  • Driving initiatives and strategies to reduce cost per contact, increase one-contact resolution, and elevate customer satisfaction
  • Providing insights that guide product development and enhance the overall player experience

  • Experience in the online gaming/iGaming industry (sportsbook, casino, or regulated markets preferred)
  • Strong operational leadership with a proven ability to scale and transform customer service teams
  • Demonstrated success in manager and supervisor development, leadership coaching, and building strong teams from the ground up
  • Extensive experience driving a people-first culture that emphasizes coaching, empowerment, and continuous improvement
  • Analytical mindset with experience using data to drive strategy and performance
  • Ability to navigate regulatory environments and embed responsible gambling practices
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and stakeholder management skills

What’s in it for you?
