Esports betting company Luckbox is recruiting for five key positions as it targets continued growth through 2020.

The firm recently announced a $4.5m CAD funding raise ahead of plans to go public on the TSX Venture Exchange.

Luckbox is now advertising for a Chief Financial Officer, Head of Marketing, VP of Operations, CRM Lead and a node.js Backend Developer.

The full-time roles can be based in the company’s offices in Isle of Man or Bulgaria, or for the right candidates, fully remote.

Details of the roles can be found here.

Luckbox has enjoyed a hugely successful first half of 2020, accelerating its go public plans and it will become only the second dedicated esports betting company to be publicly listed.

CEO Quentin Martin said: “It’s been a fantastic year for us so far and our oversubscribed funding round has put us in the perfect position to capitalise. “We’re now ensuring we maintain that momentum by filling these very important roles with the right people who share our passion for growing Luckbox rapidly.

“We see these roles as a priority right now and we will be further strengthening the team in the coming months.”

Luckbox is a licensed platform providing real-money esports betting to fans in more than 100 territories across the world. The company has enjoyed a highly successful first half of 2020, with the Covid-19 lockdown prompting a surge in esports betting activity.

Last month, it was announced that Luckbox had signed a letter of intent with Elephant Hill Capital Inc (TSXV: EH.P), a capital pool company, with the intent to list on the TSX Venture Exchange.
