This is an ideal role for someone looking to transition from strategy consulting into industry, with the opportunity to progress quickly in a commercial leadership career path.

• Support the development of long-term commercial strategies to unlock growth and improve efficiency
• Diagnose business challenges across commercial functions and regions (e.g. Brand Marketing, Performance Marketing, CRM, Analytics) and design strategies to drive ROI improvements
• Solve operational problems by conducting detailed analysis, identifying root causes and shaping actionable recommendations
• Build business cases and strategic recommendations, presenting directly to senior leaders and C-suite stakeholders

• 2-4 years of experience in a top-tier management consultancy or in a high-performance corporate strategy role
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a consulting toolkit (Excel modelling, market sizing, slide creation, data-driven insights)
• Excellent communication skills, including experience presenting to senior stakeholders
• Self-starter mentality, with intellectual curiosity and an entrepreneurial mindset to identify new opportunities
• Strong project management capabilities, including being comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and juggling multiple high-priority projects
• Interest in the gaming, gambling, or sports industries is a plus but not essential
