• Deeply analyze game performance post-launch across diverse regions, leveraging metrics (GGR, bets, spin counts, RTP behavior) to guide lobby positioning, optimize game balancing, and iterate on future mechanics.
• Collaboratively map out and execute the studio’s certification entry into new regulated EU, LATAM, US, and Sweepstakes spaces to unlock untapped revenue channels.
• Partner closely with the Marketing and B2B Sales teams to drive maximum exposure for new releases, craft compelling operator campaigns, and structure high-impact promotional calendars.
• Support the commercial team in navigating key integrations, building relationships with top-tier operators, domestic aggregators, and sweepstakes platforms, positioning ELA Games as a "must-have" content provider globally.
• Foster a high-performance, results-oriented, and collaborative culture within the 40-person studio, inspiring a shared vision across creative and technical departments.
• Identify operational bottlenecks in the studio structure and scale or restructure human capital efficiently as production demands grow to support cross-continental delivery.

• 5+ years of leadership experience within the B2B iGaming casino sector, with a deep, demonstrable understanding of what makes a slot title commercially successful.
• In-depth knowledge of slot workflows, RTP structures, volatility balancing, and player psychology/retention mechanics.
• Native or fluent command of professional written and spoken English.
• Proven experience launching B2B slot games within LATAM, North American regulated states, or directly inside the Sweepstakes/Social Casino vertical.
• Experience taking a small boutique studio (~30–50 people) and successfully scaling its commercial distribution and output pipeline.
