Description
As a key member of our growing research team, the Market Intelligence Expert serves as the company's eyes and ears across the global iGaming landscape. This role is responsible for tracking industry movements, competitive dynamics, regulatory shifts, and market-level signals that inform Digitain's strategic direction across Sales and Product functions.
The Market Intelligence Expert occupies a critical position at the intersection of research and strategy. You will be responsible for monitoring and synthesizing information across competitors, emerging markets, regulatory bodies, and industry events — transforming raw intelligence into actionable insights that power Digitain's commercial and product teams.
Responsibilities
- Monitor and analyze emerging trends in the iGaming industry — including regulatory changes, technological advancements, market shifts, and upcoming innovations
- Track major players in the iGaming ecosystem by reviewing quarterly and annual reports, financial performance, revenue growth, and strategic announcements
- Evaluate sales and market growth by region, assessing key growth indicators, player acquisition trends, and penetration in both regulated and emerging markets
- Research product developments across the iGaming industry, including new tools, features, and integrations, and their potential market impact
- Assess operational network expansion — tracking growth in B2C operator networks and B2B partnerships, including platform adoption rates
- Monitor industry activity across public sources, including websites, conferences, press releases, and social media
- Identify early signals of market expansion across the industry
- Conduct competitive analyses of key iGaming players, including performance benchmarking and threat/opportunity identification
- Prepare and deliver high-quality research outputs: detailed reports, trend summaries, competitive landscapes, and presentations for internal stakeholders
- Source and validate data from industry reports, financial filings, news platforms, conferences, and proprietary tools
- Collaborate with team members to translate research findings into strategic recommendations and contribute to BRD/PRD preparation
- Proactively anticipate industry shifts (e.g., new regulations in Latin America, Asia, Africa) and alert relevant teams to emerging risks or opportunities
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business, Economics, Marketing, Finance, or a related field
- 5+ years of experience in market research, competitive intelligence, business analysis, or strategic research, with a strong preference for candidates from iGaming, fintech and e-commerce
- Proven track record of owning market intelligence or competitive analysis functions and reporting insights as market conditions change
- Deep, demonstrable knowledge of the global iGaming ecosystem: sportsbook and casino platforms, B2B/B2C business models, payment solutions, and regulatory frameworks across key regions is preferable
- Experience analyzing financial/annual reports, investor disclosures, industry publications and market data to assess and validate competitor performance and strategic direction. Strong strategic and critical thinking skills — able to identify and connect non obvious signals (regulatory shifts, hiring trends, product launches, social/media activity) into them into early-warning insights
- Ability to turn complex research into clear, decision-ready reports and presentations for stakeholders and leadership
- Experience with competitive intelligence platforms (e.g., Similarweb, H2gc, LinkedIn Talent Insights) is a strong plus
- Ability to work autonomously and take full ownership of the market intelligence function, setting priorities with minimal oversight
- Strong stakeholder management skills — able to balance competing requests from Sales and Product teams and prioritize based on strategic impact
- Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent research streams under tight timelines in a fast-moving, competitive industry
- Fluency in English (written and spoken); additional languages (Russian, Spanish, Portuguese) are a plus
