About the role:
Pentasia are working with a dynamic, well-funded iGaming technology business (circa 200 employees) who are rapidly scaling their Sweeps / Prediction Markets platform throughout Europe.
They’re looking for senior sales leaders - from Sales Managers through Head of Sales / CSO level - who have demonstrable platform sales experience and a track record of staying and growing within roles.
Why this opportunity stands out:
True market opportunity: The company operates in a fast-growing niche (sweeps and prediction markets) with strong product-market fit and clear European expansion plans.
Platform-first selling: You will be selling a scalable, enterprise-grade platform to operators and partners - not one-off products - enabling larger deals and recurring revenue.
Long-term upside: Leadership hires will be given strategic responsibility and a clear path to influence company direction and ownership-style rewards for long-term contributors.
Remote-friendly: Fully remote role (must be based in Europe) with frequent cross-border collaboration and regional autonomy.
Who they’re looking for:
Senior sales professionals in iGaming: Sales Managers, Head of Sales, VP Sales, Chief Sales Officer, or equivalent.
Proven platform sellers: Direct experience selling technology/platform solutions into iGaming operators, affiliates, or platform partners.
Demonstrated longevity: Evidence of sustained performance and multi-year impact in prior roles (not serial short tenures).
Commercial and strategic mindset: Comfortable owning end-to-end sales cycles, negotiating complex deals, and helping shape go-to-market strategy.
Europe-based: The role is remote but requires residency in Europe and familiarity with European operator markets and regulations.
Compensation & Package:
Highly attractive base salary plus competitive overall compensation package.
Performance-driven bonuses and commission structure with meaningful upside for top performers.
Remote working flexibility and a chance to be part of an early-scaling leadership team with future equity/long-term reward potential.
