Chief of Staff to the CEO

🌟 Allow us to introduce ourselves

Ancient Gaming, an innovative software creator for the future of iGaming, bucks the trend that has lacked innovation for two decades. We're not trend followers; we're trendsetters. As iGaming pioneers, we challenge the status quo, crafting not just appealing software but a whole new experience for the younger, high-spending generation seeking to reinvent gaming interactions.

Founded in 2018 in Malta, we've become a global presence with 50+ dedicated team members spanning 25+ countries. And yes, we're proudly remote-first!

🚀 Your mission as a Chief of Staff (“CoS”) to the CEO!

Join our expanding leadership team as a CoS, partnering closely with our CEO to drive our organization to new heights. In this pivotal role, we anticipate your invaluable contribution to enhancing our operational excellence, streamlining decision-making processes, and fostering effective communication throughout our growing ecosystem. By collaborating with the CEO and key stakeholders, you'll have the opportunity to wield substantial influence. As the linchpin connecting our CEO with the entire organization, the CoS plays a vital role in ensuring strategic plans are executed seamlessly. Your strategic insights and cross-functional coordination will optimize efficiency and align our entire team with our overarching strategic objectives. Your expertise is critical to our continued success.

What you’ll be doing:

An extension of the CEO: You will serve as the CEO's trusted advisor, proxy, and coach, contributing to the enhancement of the CEO's effectiveness by supporting decision-making and providing strategic thought leadership. You'll ensure alignment with the CEO's vision and facilitate efficient information flow.
Building & enabling the leadership team: You will support the CEO in building a high-performing leadership team by assisting in executive searches and promoting a culture of strategic prioritization. Your understanding of the CEO's vision will guide decision-making in this regard.
Managing & communicating organizational strategy: You will work closely with the leadership team to develop and articulate long-term organizational strategies. Emphasizing effective communication, you will align strategic priorities, influence decisions, and promote integrated workflows to improve organizational efficiency.
Special projects & change management: Managing multiple concurrent projects, often of a cross-functional or organization-wide nature, will be a key responsibility. You will coordinate stakeholders, address complex challenges, and guide decisions in alignment with strategic goals. This may also involve managing and communicating critical changes across different organizational groups.
Operational management & continuous improvement: You will establish operational processes where needed, optimize work processes, and ensure alignment with set milestones. Performance management, goal-setting, and strategic alignment with senior leaders will be part of your focus, enhancing overall operational efficiency.
Communication & relationship management: Your role will involve driving integration and alignment across teams and stakeholders. You'll streamline communication, foster accountability and transparency, and navigate complex situations with a focus on positive culture integration.

You will thrive in this role if you are:

Having at least 5 years of previous experience working as a strategic leader in Operations Management roles (such as Chief Operating Officer, Startup Leadership, VP of Operations, General Manager, Management Consultant, or similar).
Having strong strategic thinking skills with the capacity to leverage data for informed decision-making.
Proactively identifying and solving complex problems, coupled with a bias towards taking decisive action.
Exceptional in communication that inspires trust in your abilities and assessments, fostering strong relationships with stakeholders.
Having a growth mindset that encourages continuous learning and resilience in the face of challenges.
Proficient in change and project management as well as demonstrating the ability to drive process improvements and navigate organizational change effectively.

The benefit list — or what’s in it for you:

You’ll grow as a business leader - This is a key role for us, providing a unique opportunity for a very broad learning curve and getting to know every aspect of a fast-growing gaming organization — and eventually being able to grow into a wide set of roles. You’ll be able to influence the strategic direction and move the needle in nearly every aspect of the business while using and honing a very wide set of skills. For any additional educational needs, we’ll set you up with a learning and development budget.
A focus on flexibility and balance - We are firm believers in focusing on outcomes over controlling the process — and our remote-first approach to work proves it! We want you to be able to do your best work without worrying about things like equipment, so we’ll set you up with a work-from-home budget so you can arrange your space to best serve your needs. This is a role that requires a lot of mental resources and resilience, so we want to mention that our employees have access to Spill, an employee mental health platform.
You get to work with a brilliant team in a fast-growing environment - We’re a young and fast-growing company building some amazing products in our diverse portfolio, with endless opportunities for wins big and small — and every year we organize a big offsite to celebrate them.
