About the role
We are on a mission to pioneer the world’s next era of play. As we grow across Europe and Latin America, we’re building The Playstack - the technology powering the next generation of sports, gaming, and fan experiences. Join us, and help make it the most widely used platform in the world! From operations, to marketing, to product, we are looking for talented people who will shape how millions of customers play, watch, and connect every day.
Most strategy work in large gaming organisations lives in finance decks and consulting reports — slow, expensive, and disconnected from the user evidence the research function spends its life generating. This role exists to close that gap. As Staff Strategy & Competitive Intelligence Researcher at Super, you are the person who connects what we know about users to what we decide about markets, competitors, and bets. You own the intelligence layer that sits above the existing research stack — taking the consumer signal from User Research, the behavioural signal from Quant Research, and the campaign-level competitive signal from Market Intelligence, and turning it into a continuous, opinionated strategic view that the CEO, CPO, CMO, and Board can act on.
What the role involves
Always-On Competitive Strategy Intelligence
- Own Super's competitive intelligence function at the strategic level — distinct from and complementary to the campaign-level competitive monitoring run by Market Intelligence
- Operate an AI-augmented monitoring system covering Flutter, Entain, Kindred, Betsson, bet365, DraftKings, FanDuel, Tipico, and regional challengers across Super's markets — tracking product roadmap signals, M&A activity, executive hires, regulatory positioning, capital deployment, and pricing strategy
- Build and maintain competitor strategic profiles that go beyond what they did to what it means and what we should do — opinionated, decision-oriented, and refreshed continuously
- Produce a monthly Competitive Strategy Briefing for the CEO and executive team: synthesised, sharp, and ending with a clear set of recommended Super responses
- React fast to material competitor moves: within 48 hours of a significant announcement, produce a synthesised view with a recommended Super position
Market Sizing, Geographic Strategy & Expansion Cases
- Own Super's market sizing capability end-to-end: TAM, SAM, SOM models for every market we operate in or are evaluating, plus the methodology and data sources underpinning them
- Build market-sizing infrastructure as code — versioned, parameterised models in Python or equivalent that re-run when inputs change, with clearly documented assumptions and sensitivity analysis built in
- Lead the analytical work behind market-entry, market-deepening, and market-exit decisions: market structure, demand pool, regulatory environment, competitive intensity, segment-level economics, and an integrated recommendation
- Maintain a live view of regulatory and commercial dynamics across all 12+ Super markets and the priority shortlist of next markets
- Partner with Strategic Finance and Commercial Strategy on enterprise-level strategic questions as a peer, bringing the consumer and competitive grounding their financial models alone cannot produce
External Regulatory & Policy Intelligence
- Build and operate Super's regulatory and policy intelligence system: an always-on view of legislative consultations, regulator publications, industry body positions, and political signal across every market we operate in
- Translate regulatory developments into commercial implication — revenue exposure, deposit modelling impact, realistic timelines, and hedged positions
- Represent Super in the right external rooms: industry body working groups (EGBA, IBIA, regional equivalents), regulator consultations, and policy forums — as the strategic intelligence partner to Legal and Public Affairs
- Build relationships with key external stakeholders: regulators, industry associations, policy researchers, and credible external analysts
- Feed regulatory and policy signal directly into the market sizing and competitive intelligence systems
Strategic Narrative & Executive Influence
- Own the strategic narrative told inside Super about our markets, competitors, and position — the one that shapes how the CEO answers the board's hardest questions and how the CPO defends a product investment
- Produce executive-grade deliverables calibrated for the audience: three-page strategic briefs, quarterly Markets & Competitive Reviews for the Board, and working memos for the CPO ahead of roadmap decisions — concise, opinionated, evidence-grounded, and ending with a
