Our Practices.

About the Company Our client is an ambitious early-stage venture positioned at the intersection of prediction markets & peer-to-peer social gaming. The business is developing a next-generation consumer platform that combines prediction-based experiences with sports communities, player data, tournaments, gamification, content and social engagement. Strategic infrastructure and technology partnerships are already in place, and an existing remote development team is actively building the platform. The business is now entering the critical phase of bringing the product together, preparing for launch and building the operational foundations required for future scale. The Opportunity Reporting directly to the Founder, the Chief Operating Officer will be the key executive responsible for bringing the different parts of the business together and driving the company from product development through launch, commercialisation and scale. This is a broad, hands-on leadership role rather than a traditional corporate operations position. The successful candidate will oversee operational execution, product delivery, commercial strategy, partnerships, go-to-market activity, streaming and content initiatives, social media growth and organisational development.

Coordinate internal teams and external technology partners to support a successful market launch. Build the operational model required to support the platform after launch. Industry knowledge Apply strong knowledge of prediction markets, betting, DFS and digital gaming to the company’s operating and commercial strategy. Help shape the customer proposition, market positioning and user journey. Ensure the business is built with an understanding of the operational, commercial and compliance demands of the sector. Identify relevant industry trends, partnership opportunities and new routes to market. Streaming, Social Media & Community Growth Develop the operating strategy for streaming, creator-led content, social media and community engagement. Build relationships with influencers, creators, media partners, sports communities and other relevant channels. Work with marketing and growth teams to create acquisition, engagement and retention initiatives. Ensure content, streaming and social activity are connected to the wider product and revenue strategy. Help create a highly engaging consumer experience with strong social and community-led characteristics. Commercial Growth & Partnerships Develop and execute the go-to-market plan alongside the Founder. Build strategic relationships across sports, gaming, media, social platforms and technology. Support the acquisition and onboarding of clubs, communities, commercial partners and users. Identify growth opportunities across the United States and future international markets. Help turn the platform into a scalable and sustainable revenue-generating business. Leadership & Organisation Act as the Founder’s primary operational and strategic partner. Provide leadership and direction to the existing distributed team. Recruit and develop additional talent as the business grows. Create effective collaboration across remote and office-based team members. Help shape the company’s longer-term organisational structure and strategic direction. Experience & Requirements Essential Previous experience as a COO, President, General Manager, Managing Director, Chief Business Officer or similar senior operational leader.
