CEO
Cluj-Napoca
Cluj-Napoca, Romania

We’re hiring for one of the most dynamic names in next-gen sports media - a fast-scaling startup that’s redefining how fans engage with live sports and gameplay. With 70M+ views last month alone and a rapidly growing audience across MMA, Boxing, NFL, Padel - and now Football and Darts - this is a brand that blends content, community, and wagering into a single, creator-led ecosystem.

As part of this growth, the group is launching Ebaka Games - a new game provider studio - and we’re looking for a CEO (Chief Executive Officer, Game Provider) to lead it from integration to international scale. You’ll shape the commercial direction, partnerships, and strategy from the ground up - driving this venture from early traction to long-term profitability and global relevance.

Role: CEO (Chief Executive Officer, Game Provider)

Department: Business / Commercial

Compensation: Negotiable (aligned with seniority and experience in gaming)

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the development and market launch of Ebaka Games, the in-house game provider for the holding company
• Rapidly grow the business to profitability by establishing key operator partnerships and revenue streams
• Build and execute a long-term growth strategy - from MVP to a fully scalable commercial operation
• Translate holding-level strategy into clear business initiatives and go-to-market actions
• Build out the commercial function: defining operational goals, commercial roadmap, and market entry strategy
• Position Ebaka Games as a strategic partner for the flagship operator and external clients
• Establish direct relationships with operators (and possibly aggregators) to distribute game content
• Explore and test new growth channels, including affiliate mechanics and gamified funnels
• Ensure timely delivery and "go live" readiness for key partners
• Lead B2B sales processes: from proposal creation to deal negotiation
• Collaborate closely with the Head of Delivery and product teams to align technical, creative, and commercial efforts
• Hire and grow a high-performing team to scale the business and expand internationally

What We’re Looking For:

• Solid background in the gaming industry - ideally with game providers, aggregators, or B2B iGaming operations
• Strong understanding of game content creation, distribution, and monetization (especially instant / crash games)
• Proven track record in commercial leadership or operational roles with a focus on business growth
• Ability to build strategy from scratch - from business model to partnership funnels
• Hands-on mindset: willing to lead and participate in execution of key business processes
• Self-driven, decisive, and focused on outcomes and scale
• Excellent B2B communication skills - meetings, pitches, negotiations
• Fluent English (Upper-Intermediate or higher) for international collaboration

Nice to Have:

• Experience launching a game provider or gaming product from scratch
• Prior success in entering new markets or distribution channels
• Understanding of GGR model, operator contracts, and legal specifics of various GEOs
• Experience building teams and implementing operational infrastructure from zero
• Knowledge of capitalization strategies: business growth, fundraising, potential IPO readiness

What’s Offered:

• Remote-first flexibility with international ambitions
• Direct collaboration with the founders and fast decision-making cycles
• High-impact role with full influence over strategy, development, market fit, and profitability
• Opportunity to build a company and business processes from the ground up, in synergy with a strong tech/product team
• A key leadership role within a fast-growing iGaming ecosystem that merges media, gameplay, and content
• Competitive compensation + long-term incentives aligned with business growth
