When rapid growth demands robust compliance, experience and thoroughness matter. We helped build an entire international risk and compliance function from the ground up.
Flutter
Building Trust at Scale
Operating at FTSE 100 scale, Flutter was experiencing growth rates that surpassed many scale-ups during an unprecedented gaming industry boom. This remarkable expansion led to the strategic decision to establish a new international compliance and risk team to support their rapidly evolving global operations.
The Challenge
Despite their considerable size, Flutter's growth rate created unique recruitment challenges. Their internal recruitment team, which had previously managed most hiring needs, now faced the complex task of building an entirely new international compliance and risk function. They needed a recruitment partner who could understand both the scale of their operation and the intricacies of risk and compliance recruitment.
The Solution
We began with our signature in-depth consultation process, ensuring we understood every aspect of their business and requirements, despite the complexity of multiple stakeholders. This thorough approach enabled us to represent their opportunities accurately and compellingly to the market. We focused on identifying candidates who could handle both the scale of a FTSE 100-sized operation and the pace of a high-growth environment.
The Results
We successfully placed multiple key positions within Flutter's new international compliance and risk function, including two department heads. These strategic appointments provided the foundation for their new international team, enabling them to maintain their rapid growth trajectory while ensuring robust risk management and compliance protocols. Our thorough approach to understanding their needs resulted in placements that could effectively balance commercial growth with regulatory requirements.
