What you'll be doing

• Act as the key point of contact within Games Operations for all compliance requirements, ensuring processes are tracked and completed on time.
• Plan and manage games certification and renewal cycles, taking full ownership of annual regulator submissions to prevent gaps or missed deadlines.
• Serve as the point of contact for all new market entry planning, coordinating cross-functional efforts to ensure compliance and smooth launches.

• Experience in iGaming (B2B or B2C), with an understanding of games compliance and certification requirements for casino products.
• Strong project management skills, with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple initiatives simultaneously.
• Excellent time management and self-management skills, ensuring deadlines are consistently met.
• Ability to collaborate with stakeholders across locations and time zones, navigating differing priorities and workflows.
• Analytical and data-driven mindset, capable of identifying issues, creating solutions, and improving processes.
• While games expertise is helpful, it is not mandatory—a structured, organized approach and ability to learn quickly are more important.
