About the Role
Building on Anthem’s early and rapid success within an exciting market, you will be responsible for the revenue growth of the business from EMEA markets with a focus on attracting new clients, upselling and continuing existing accounts, and increasing monthly recurring contracts that deliver to our customer’s expectations.
The role owns the commercial sales plan, as well as proposition development and the sales narrative. Whilst primarily focused on working with clients, the role also acts as an important bridge between the Product and Data functions internally, ensuring alignment and client-driven deliveries and solution developments.
You will lead the refinement and evolution of Anthem’s commercial strategy, creating and executing go-to-market plans that accelerate customer recruitment, and customer enablement with ongoing improvements in sales execution and measurement of key commercial activities as we scale.
You will manage, grow, and coach the sales team, which spans both new and existing customer sales. With a focus on achieving defined targets, key activities, and customer actions, developing and growing the team should be a critical part of your success.
The role requires both strategic thinking and first-hand delivery – whilst you will be targeted to generate your own sales, you will also be incentivised and expected to provide strong leadership to the commercial team, plus communicate customer and sales plan to engage the broader organisation.
You will have experience in a combination of commercial roles involving the licensing of technology and business development, ideally within the gambling sector. A high degree of organisational agility, strong relationship-building, and well-developed influencing skills will also be essential in this role.
The global gambling industry combines technology, entertainment, risk, regulation, eCommerce, finance, and social interaction. Data runs throughout. Therefore, you should have an affinity with data and data-driven products that are innovative and use the latest technology to improve customer experiences. Given the broad nature of the industry, travel to customer locations and international events will be required).
