Posted Updated
Discussion

Description

An international iGaming business operating across several business lines is looking for a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to lead its finance function and drive financial transformation.
We are looking for a proactive finance leader who takes full ownership of the finance function, drives strategic initiatives, and turns business priorities into measurable financial results.
What Success Looks Like
First 45 days: a proposed financial strategy and target operating model for each business line, proactively developed and presented to the CEO for alignment. A clear map of how money flows through each team's operational processes.
First 90 days: a full budgeting and forecasting cycle delivered end-to-end and approved. Monthly close running on a fixed schedule. One consistent set of financial reports and models that reconcile with each other.
First 6 months: core finance processes and reporting consolidated within the ERP, with reliable data, clear workflows and consistent adoption across teams.
First 12 months: a stable, accountable and appropriately staffed finance team. Financial readiness for local licensing in new markets. Automated finance processes that support business growth without proportional increases in headcount.
Your Responsibilities
Own the financial strategy for each business line and drive its implementation proactively. Bring proposals, scenarios and recommendations to leadership before you are asked.
Own the full financial planning cycle (budgeting, forecasting, cash flow and P&L), from initiation to approval, ensuring clear deadlines and accountability across departments.
Develop a deep understanding of how key business functions operate (Payments, CRM/Retention, VIP, Affiliates, Product and Operations) and translate their processes into unit economics, cost drivers and financial controls.
Establish and maintain a single source of truth for financial data, ensuring that financial models, reports and management documents are consistent, reconciled and explainable at any level of detail.
Lead ERP implementation and optimization, ensuring reliable financial data, integrated processes and consistent adoption across teams.
Establish and manage a reliable financial calendar covering monthly close, management reporting, budget reviews and investor/board reporting.
Lead financial and regulatory readiness for expansion into locally licensed markets, working closely with Legal and Compliance.
Manage multi-jurisdictional structures, intercompany flows, tax exposure and payment-related risks.
Build, lead and retain a strong finance team: define roles, manage hiring, establish accountability and develop people. Build effective working relationships with other functions, including Legal.
What We're Looking For
5+ years of experience in finance, including at least 3 years as CFO or Head of Finance specifically within the iGaming industry (operator, platform, B2B or white-label).
Strong hands-on understanding of iGaming economics, including GGR/NGR, bonus costs, hold rate, player LTV, cohort revenue, affiliate CPA/RevShare, game provider fees, PSP fees, chargebacks, rolling reserves and gaming taxes across jurisdictions.
Proven experience developing a financial strategy and successfully executing it with measurable business results.
Strong hands-on financial modeling skills, including the ability to independently build, maintain and explain complex financial models.
Proven experience leading an ERP implementation or migration through to completion, including data migration, process integration and team adoption within agreed timelines.
Practical experience supporting financial operations in locally licensed iGaming markets, including local financial reporting, regulatory capital requirements, compliance and audits.
A proven track record of building, leading and retaining finance teams, with clear examples of successful hiring, team development and accountability.
Experience managing multi-jurisdictional structures and working closely with Legal and Compliance teams.
Upper-Intermediate+ level of English.
Nice to Have
Experience across several iGaming business models (B2C, B2B and white-label).
Experience building a finance function from scratch or leading a large-scale financial transformation.
Experience with international payment systems and PSP negotiations.
Experience raising investment or working with investors and shareholders.
If you're ready to own the finance function end-to-end, from strategy to execution, we'd love to hear from you.
