AI leadership in iGaming
The hire that sets the direction.
As AI moves from a few experiments to a core part of the business, iGaming companies increasingly need someone to own it: a Head of AI, a Chief Data Officer, a VP of Machine Learning. The right leader does far more than manage a team. They set the strategy, decide where AI will and won't be used, build and retain scarce talent, and translate between the engineers and the board. Get this hire right and everything beneath it accelerates; get it wrong and the investment stalls.
These leaders are rare, rarely looking, and almost never found through a job advert. They combine genuine technical credibility with commercial judgement, the ability to build teams, and the communication skills to carry a board. In iGaming they also need to understand a regulated, real-money environment and the responsible-gaming responsibilities that come with it. Reaching them takes a network and a discreet, considered approach, not a mass mailout.
That's how we work. We focus only on AI and data roles in iGaming, and our leadership searches are handled personally and confidentially. Whether you're hiring your first Head of AI, elevating data to the executive table, or replacing a leader without unsettling the team, we run a focused, mapped search and represent the role properly. And if you're an AI leader considering your next move, you can talk to us in complete confidence about what's genuinely out there.

What does a Head of AI do in iGaming?
