  As one of the senior compliance leads within a start-up environment, you will have the opportunity to influence the company’s approach from an early stage rather than simply inherit established processes. You will be expected to challenge existing procedures where appropriate, introduce improvements and develop policies and controls in the way you believe best meets regulatory obligations and risk profile. Key Responsibilities Take day-to-day ownership of compliance and KYC framework across sportsbook and casino, ensuring continued alignment with UK Gambling Commission requirements, the LCCP and relevant UK legislation and guidance. Review, develop and implement compliance policies, procedures and controls, with the autonomy to recommend and direct changes where required. Oversee KYC, customer risk assessments, CDD, EDD, Source of Funds and Source of Wealth processes. Provide senior oversight and guidance on complex, unusual or higher-risk customer cases and ensure appropriate escalation and record keeping. Maintain appropriate AML and financial crime controls and support the management of financial crime risk across the business. Oversee and develop Safer Gambling policies and procedures, including customer interaction, monitoring, escalation and account restriction processes. Act as a senior internal point of contact for regulatory and compliance matters. Maintain a strong working relationship with the UK Gambling Commission, responding to regulatory enquiries and information requests where required. Take responsibility for preparing for six-monthly regulatory reports/submissions to the Gambling Commission, working with the CEO and Compliance Consultant to ensure information is accurate, complete and submitted on time. Monitor changes to UK gambling regulation and guidance and translate these into practical changes to policies, procedures and operations. Ensure compliance decisions, customer reviews and regulatory processes are appropriately documented and auditable. Support regulatory assessments, audits and information requests. Work closely with operational, product, payments and customer-facing teams to ensure compliance requirements are embedded into day-to-day operations. Deliver and/or oversee appropriate compliance, AML, KYC and Safer Gambling training. Help develop compliance capability, systems and team structure as the business scales. Experience & Requirements Significant compliance and KYC experience within a UK-regulated online gambling operator, with direct experience across both sportsbook and online casino. A current or appropriate Personal Management Licence (PML) and experience operating in a senior regulated role. Strong first-hand experience dealing with the UK Gambling Commission. Detailed working knowledge of the LCCP, UKGC requirements and the wider UK gambling regulatory framework. Strong practical experience across KYC, AML, CDD, EDD, Source of Funds and Source of Wealth. A strong understanding of Safer Gambling and customer interaction requirements across both sportsbook and casino customers. Experience handling and making decisions on complex or higher-risk customer cases. Experience preparing regulatory reporting and documentation for the Gambling Commission. Strong written skills and the ability to draft clear, commercially workable policies, procedures, risk assessments and regulatory documentation. The confidence and judgement to operate independently and advise or challenge senior management where necessary. The ability to work effectively in a start-up environment, where processes are evolving and the role will combine strategic responsibility with hands-on delivery. Previous experience helping to establish or significantly develop the compliance function of a new or growing gambling operator would be particularly valuable. This is an opportunity to join a great business at an early stage and have genuine influence over how the business approaches compliance. Rather than stepping into a large established compliance department, you will have the autonomy to help build the function, shape policy and procedures and work directly with senior leadership. As the business grows, there is significant scope for the role and compliance function to grow with it.  

A group of industry veterans are about to launch an exciting iGaming company and wish to employ a Compliance Operations Manager working on Malta but remotely.   Why this role is different: Most compliance roles are a spreadsheet, a shared inbox, and a quarterly scramble before an audit. This one isn't. They are building an AI-native control environment where obligations, evidence, monitoring and reporting live in the same system as the product itself, and the engineering team that built it sits next to you and builds what you specify. Instead of manually sampling transactions, you design the controls that watch every one. Instead of chasing screenshots for an audit, evidence is captured continuously as a by-product of how the platform runs. Instead of writing a policy that gathers dust, you encode They have an appointed compliance contact for the regulator who works with us one day a week and holds that named role; everything the function does between those days is yours, and the day-to-day operation of compliance is what they are hiring for. This is a build-the-function role, not a maintain-the-function role, with a clear path to Head of Compliance as they add markets.   What you'll do:   Own day-to-day regulatory compliance across our licensed entities - with our first regulated brand going live shortly, this starts hands-on and fast. Translate regulatory obligations into concrete, testable controls: map requirements to systems, owners and evidence, and keep that map current as both regulation and product change.   Partner with engineering and product to further design compliance into the platform - responsible gambling tooling, self-exclusion integrations, player protection limits, advertising and bonus rules, game and supplier certification. Run AML/CTF operations: risk assessment, transaction monitoring rules and tuning, escalation, suspicious transaction reporting, and record-keeping. Draft and maintain policies, procedures and internal controls that people actually follow - and that survive external audit. Review marketing, promotions and product changes pre-launch, and give clear, fast answers on what ships and what doesn't. Support licensing and market-entry work as we expand into additional regulated jurisdictions.   What you'll bring:   5+ years in compliance, regulatory affairs or risk within online gaming, payments, or another regulated financial services environment, with at least 2 running compliance day to day. Working knowledge of at least one serious regulated gaming regime - Ontario (AGCO/iGO), MGA, UKGC or comparable - and the judgment to learn the next one quickly. Real AML/CTF experience: risk assessments, monitoring rules and tuning, escalation, and reporting. Genuine interest in using automation and AI to do this job better. You don't need to write code, but you should want to design systems rather than operate manually. Based on Malta   Attractive salary is available.
