Head of Sportsbook 

We are representing a new social-first sportsbook and we're looking for a Head of Sportsbook to own it commercially, operationally, and strategically from day one.

This is a P&L role. You will own GGR, margin and hold, manage our managed-trading partnership, define liability and bet-acceptance policy, shape the product roadmap, and build the trading and risk function from scratch through to a 24/7 desk. You will be the senior commercial voice on every decision that touches the sportsbook.

What we're looking for

8+ years in sportsbook trading, product or commercial leadership, with at least 3 years at senior level. Critically, you will have direct, hands-on experience operating in the African sportsbook market — you understand the regulatory environment, the accumulator culture, mobile-first behaviour, naira-denominated risk, and NLRC oversight from the inside.

You will have owned a regulated sportsbook P&L at meaningful scale and have worked with a managed-trading provider or run an in-house desk. Experience across West Africa more broadly, relationships within the Nigerian gaming ecosystem, and exposure to social or community-driven betting products are all strong advantages.

The role in a sentence

This is a greenfield opportunity for someone who has either run a sportsbook P&L or been the senior deputy on one — and who wants to set the policy rather than inherit it.
