About Hey Seven
Hey Seven harnesses agentic AI for player development. We build Seven, an agentic AI host that talks to players 24/7, in any language, and acts within the guardrails each operator sets. Seven is live with real players, online and land-based.
We're a small team, backed by Bettor Capital, the leading VC in gaming, and other strategic gaming-focused investors. Our Executive Chairman is Rafi Ashkenazi, former CEO of The Stars Group.
The founding team brings tier-one casino operations and technology experience together, and you'd join early enough to shape how the company grows.
How we work: our seven operating principles
-
Excellence:
we refuse to accept mediocrity. We aim to beat our commitments, not just meet them.
-
Transparency:
you'll always know where you stand with us. The real number, the real status, the real risk.
-
Accountability:
our name is on the job. Every piece of work has one owner, and when we get it wrong, we own it and fix it.
-
Lead by example, act like an AI company:
every one of us uses AI every day to get more done. Agents do the legwork, people do the creative thinking.
-
Product-led:
the product is the strategy. Growth and reputation follow from what Seven does in front of a player.
-
Data-driven:
we decide on real numbers, not conviction. A red metric gets explained or acted on, never ignored.
-
Real, measurable value, no AI fluff:
we sell incremental revenue, measured against a matched holdout, not buzzwords.
We hire people whose DNA aligns with this. The first three are our values: your DNA needs to fit all three, and we hire for all three.
Location

The role
You own new revenue from land-based casinos: tribal, regional and resort properties, plus other land-based verticals such as cruise lines and premium membership clubs. You find the leads, pitch the property's leadership, and sign the customer. You also own the pre-sales materials and pitches for this market.
What you'll do
-
Sign new land-based customers. That's the main number you're measured on.
-
Generate leads: work the tribal and commercial casino market, trade shows and your own network to open doors with GMs, CMOs and VPs of Player Development.
-
Lead the pitch on site and remotely, and run the cycle through proof-of-value, commercial terms and signature, including tribal gaming commission and procurement steps.
-
Lead our biggest deals with the property's leadership, and turn their own player data into a clear business case.
-
Work with Mikhail on the land-based go-to-market plan: which regions and properties first, and how we win each.
-
Own the land-based pre-sales kit: pitch decks, one-pagers, proposals, product walkthroughs, references.
-
Work with our delivery team so every signed property goes live on time.
-
Bring back what properties need, so the product keeps pace with the floor.
