Reporting to the company-wide Director of Operations, with significant interaction with Altenar's founders, we are seeking a Head of Customer Success with at least 8 years of relevant experience and an outstanding track record of developing customer relationships, building high-performing teams and growing existing accounts within iGaming. This senior leadership role will shape how Altenar retains and develops customers across Europe, North America, Africa and Asia. The Head will lead the Customer Success function and partner closely with the separately managed Account Management organisation to connect excellent day-to- day service with strategic customer value, early renewals and sustainable revenue growth.

Coach Customer Success talent, strengthen commercial and sportsbook product expertise, and build a culture of accountability and proactive customer development. Establish clear customer governance. Define joint working practices with Account Management: AMs own functional, back-office and operational customer communication; Customer Success owns business outcomes, strategic engagement and growth opportunities. Agree information-sharing and escalation protocols. Create scalable customer processes. Establish structured methods for evaluating customerrequests, business impact and priorities. Work with Product, Trading, Technology and Account Management leaders to balance customer expectations, contractual commitments, delivery capacity and Altenar's roadmap.
