To verify 100% of good identities in real-time and completely eliminate identity fraud on the internet.
Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of professional experience, including at least 4+ years in a client-facing technical role such as solution consulting, sales engineering, professional services, or technical pre-sales within enterprise SaaS, data products, or risk/identity platforms
- Meaningful experience in online gaming, sportsbook, fantasy sports, or adjacent regulated digital wagering/payments environments—ideally with exposure to digital onboarding, age and identity verification, KYC/KYB, transaction monitoring, or fraud/risk management workflows
- Demonstrated track record leading complex, multi-stakeholder pre-sales engagements end-to-end: discovery, solution design, demo strategy, POC/backtest design, success metrics definition, and technical close support
- Strong technical depth across modern SaaS and data architectures, including RESTful APIs, event-driven or batch data integrations, rules/decision engines, analytics, and familiarity with ML/DS-adjacent technologies
- Ability to synthesize complex statistical and technical information—such as model performance, lift curves, ROC/AUC, threshold optimization, or swap sets—into clear, business-oriented recommendations for risk, product, and executive stakeholders
- Experience acting as a bridge between technical and non-technical audiences, with excellent written and verbal communication skills and a strong executive presence; comfortable presenting to C-level and board-level stakeholders at high-growth gaming operators and digital wagering companies
- Proven collaboration skills across Sales, Data Science, Product, Engineering, and Customer Success, with the ability to influence without authority and drive alignment in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
- Demonstrated commitment to Socure-aligned leadership behaviors: continuous learning and improvement, effective and transparent communication, ownership and accountability for outcomes, mentoring and uplifting teammates, sound judgment under uncertainty, and adaptability through change
- Comfort operating in a high-growth, mission-driven company and willingness to travel (e.g., up to ~30%) to support key client meetings, workshops, and events, as needed
- 45 miles within one of our talent Hubs (DC, Seattle, SF, NYC, MIA)
What the job involves
- As a Senior Pre-Sales Solution Consultant, Gaming you will be the primary technical point-of-contact throughout the sales cycle for online gaming, sports betting, fantasy sports, and predictions prospects in the Gaming & Predictions pod
- You will be responsible for understanding client requirements, designing end-to-end onboarding and transaction risk workflows, and demonstrating how Socure’s platform delivers measurable impact across conversion, fraud losses, bonus abuse/arb, and operational efficiency
- You will collaborate closely with Sales, Data Science, Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to run high-impact discovery, architect solutions, and lead proof-of-concepts that de-risk technical decisions and accelerate deal cycles
- You will also serve as a bridge between technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring that complex model performance, data flows, and integration patterns are communicated clearly to executives, product leaders, and risk/compliance teams at our customers
- Serve as the day-to-day technical expert for igaming, sportsbook, fantasy sports, and predictions opportunities, partnering with Account Executive Directors as the primary pre-sales Solution Consultant for your territory and segment
- Lead discovery with prospects to deeply understand their business models (e.g., online sportsbook, casino/igaming, DFS, peer-to-peer wagering, prediction markets), risk posture, regulatory constraints (KYC, geolocation, age verification, AML), and onboarding or transaction flows—then translate these into tailored Socure solution architectures
- Design end-to-end identity and fraud workflows across Socure’s products including API integration patterns, decisioning logic, rules, and data orchestration, with a focus on gaming-specific use cases such as multi-accounting, bonus abuse, self-exclusion, and responsible gaming controls
- Collaborate with Data Science to scope, design, and execute proof-of-concepts (POCs) and backtests for gaming and sportsbook prospects, defining success metrics, evaluation methodology, and governance; interpret results and present clear recommendations to both technical and executive stakeholders
- Partner with Product and Product Marketing to funnel field insights from gaming and sportsbook deals—including emerging use cases (e.g., instant payouts, in-play deposits, player re-verification, KYC/KYB for affiliates and partners, account takeover prevention)—into roadmap discussions, solution patterns, and external thought leadership (blogs, webinars, whitepapers, conference content)
- Participate in business development activities including building and delivering compelling demos, presenting solution recommendations, contributing to RFPs/RFIs, and helping construct statements of work (SOWs) and pricing scenarios that align technical scope with commercial structure
- Act as a trusted advisor to senior client stakeholders (CRO, CISO, CTO, Head of Risk/Compliance, VP of Product, Head of Player Protection) by simplifying complex statistical and technical concepts—such as model performance, threshold strategies, swap sets, and regulatory implications—into actionable business decisions
- Partner with post-sales Solution Consultants, Customer Success, and Technical Project Managers to ensure smooth handoffs from pre- to post-sales, including documenting solution assumptions, success criteria, and implementation risks to protect value realization and retention
- Contribute to internal best practices for gaming and sportsbook (playbooks, discovery templates, POC frameworks, exec-ready decks) and actively mentor junior or peer Solution Consultants, modeling Socure’s embedded leadership competencies (continuous learning, effective communication, accountability, team development, decision making, managing change)
- Stay ahead of gaming and the prediction market industry trends, fraud and identity attack vectors, and evolving regulations impacting digital onboarding, payments, geolocation, and responsible gaming; use this knowledge to guide clients and influence internal strategy
Our take
Socure is an identity platform that aims to improve customer identification for digital transactions. The company is part of a growing market, with rivals in this competitive space including Signifyd, Riskified, AppsFlyer, ClearSale, Kount, SEON, and Fraud Fighters.
The engine delivered by Socure encompasses Know Your Customer (KYC), identity fraud detection, and document verification. With it, companies can scale rapidly by onboarding more good customers and preventing online fraud. Additionally, underbanked consumers who have been excluded from online services by outdated ID verification can gain access to critical benefits and services online.
Socure has rapidly escalated in popularity and reached a valuation well over $1 billion. Though not immune from the economic downturn of late, which resulted in two high-profile rounds of lay-offs, the company has secured considerable additional funds that will strengthen its financial position as it moves to capitalise on the ever-growing importance of identity verification and trust.
