Country Manager (Lithuania) for ICONIC21 Operations · Vilnius

About the Company

ICONIC21 is a fast-growing iGaming content provider delivering high-performance live casino solutions, including live studios, slots, virtual games, and custom products for global operators.

Role Overview

As a Country Manager in Lithuania, you will take full ownership of launching a brand-new live casino studio from scratch and building a scalable local operation.

This is a high-impact, hands-on leadership role, combining construction oversight, operational setup, and team build-out, with full responsibility for establishing a high-performing studio aligned with global standards.

Unlike more mature locations, this role is focused on zero-to-one execution — setting up infrastructure, implementing processes, and building the organization on the ground.

Key Responsibilities

Studio Launch & Construction Oversight

• Lead the end-to-end studio launch, including construction, vendor management, and infrastructure setup
• Coordinate contractors, timelines, and technical requirements (audio/video, equipment, layout)
• Ensure full operational readiness of the studio before go-live

Operational Setup & Execution

• Establish and implement operational processes, policies, and workflows based on HQ blueprints
• Ensure smooth day-to-day operations and readiness for 24/7 production environment
• Act as the key driver of execution during the setup phase

Team Build & Leadership

• Hire and build the local operational team from scratch (studio, admin, support functions)
• Develop team structure, accountability, and performance culture
• Manage a high-volume workforce (incl. dealer teams / Gen Z workforce specifics)

Full Ownership & Local Leadership

• Act as the main responsible person for the local entity (mini-CEO model)
• Oversee HR, finance, admin, and local operations within delegated authority
• Gradually take on signatory responsibilities and legal accountability

Financial & Performance Management

• Manage local budget and ensure cost control during build and operations
• Drive performance against operational KPIs
• Contribute to future P&L ownership as the studio scales

Regulatory & Compliance Management

• Ensure compliance with local laws, regulatory requirements, and internal policies
• Coordinate with HQ and external advisors on licensing and legal matters
• Maintain operational governance and risk control

Collaboration with HQ

• Work closely with global teams (product, tech, operations)
• Implement HQ standards and ensure alignment with company-wide strategy
• Act as the bridge between local operations and headquarters

Candidate Profile

Must-Have

• Proven experience in iGaming / live casino / adjacent industries
• Strong background in operations, launch environments, or scaling setups
• Experience with physical operations / infrastructure / studio or similar environments
• Track record of building teams and managing large-scale operations
• High level of ownership and ability to operate autonomously
