Director, EU Affairs

Location: Brussels, Belgium

Reports to: VP, Corporate Affairs

 

About the Role

Super Technologies (“Super”) is one of Europe’s fastest-growing technology companies, operating at the intersection of technology, digital entertainment and regulated markets. As the company continues to expand across Europe, it is establishing a permanent presence in Brussels to strengthen its engagement with European institutions, policymakers, industry associations and strategic partners. Operating in one of Europe’s most dynamic and highly regulated sectors, Super sees constructive and transparent engagement with policymakers as a strategic business capability, enabling sustainable growth, innovation and consumer protection.

The Director, EU Affairs will lead this effort — building Super’s European Affairs function from the ground up and establishing the company as a respected and credible participant within the European policy ecosystem. Europe is the center of policy and regulatory decisions that will shape the future of digital industries. Super believes that constructive engagement with policymakers, regulators and industry stakeholders is essential to building sustainable, well-regulated markets. The Director will anticipate emerging regulatory developments, translate political context into business implications and help shape the company’s long-term regulatory strategy across Europe. 

Based in Brussels, the successful candidate will lead the company’s European engagement strategy, develop trusted institutional relationships and help shape Super’s long-term presence across European policy and industry networks. Success in this role will be measured by the quality of regulatory outcomes, strength of institutional relationships, business impact and Super’s reputation as a preferred and trusted partner within the European policy ecosystem.
