Job description

Redefine how an industry fights fraud - and turn protection into competitive advantage.

We're looking for a visionary Head of Fraud Strategy to lead our Group-wide fraud prevention and detection agenda - a rare opportunity to build a world-class capability that protects customers, fuels growth, and strengthens business integrity across global markets. You'll own the strategic direction for fraud management, harnessing data, AI, and real-time decisioning to deliver smarter, frictionless protection that drives both trust and profitability. Operating at the intersection of innovation, regulation, and commercial strategy, you'll transform how fraud is managed - from a control function to a true growth enabler.

What you will be doing -

• Set the Group-wide fraud strategy and customer experience agenda, defining priorities that align with the Group's growth and profitability objectives.
• Responsible for reducing the financial impact of fraud, ensuring measurable financial outcomes. Drive initiatives that reduce fraud-related losses, prevent revenue leakage, and deliver measurable improvements to profitability.
• Collaborate with Finance and commercial leaders to model costs, forecast operational impact, and link efficiency gains directly to business performance.
• Architect seamless, real-time fraud controls across onboarding, transactions, and monitoring, ensuring they enhance rather than constrain the customer lifecycle.
• Drive adoption of automation, AI/ML decisioning, and scalable frameworks to lower cost-to-serve and enable faster market launches.
• Partner with Managing Directors and Commercial leadership in each market to embed fraud prevention into growth strategies.
• Act as the Group's senior representative with regulators and industry bodies, ensuring proactive and transparent engagement.
• Lead, develop, and inspire a fraud strategy team while fostering a high-performance culture built on accountability, precision, and transformation readiness.

Who we are looking for-

We are committed to responsible gambling, and we are looking for people who can support our ethos. To apply to this post, you will:

• Have an advanced degree in Business, Economics, Data/Analytics, or related field preferred.
• Have leadership experience within the gambling industry or a highly regulated sector, ideally in fraud, risk, or analytics-focused roles.
• Have an analytical mindset, with expertise in using data, modelling, and performance metrics to identify opportunities and reduce impact.
• Be commercially minded - prioritise initiatives that deliver measurable EBITDA impact and growth.
