Internal Audit Manager
Leading iGaming Operator  |  Sliema, Malta  |  Hybrid
Our client is one of the most exciting growth-stage operators in European iGaming right now. In under seven years, they've built a portfolio of regulated casino brands across Finland, the Netherlands, and Portugal — and they're not done yet.
Now, as the business scales across multiple regulated markets, they're building the governance infrastructure to match their ambitions. This is a genuinely rare opportunity: a newly created Internal Audit Manager role that reports directly to the CEO, with the scope to build the function from the ground up in a company that takes compliance as seriously as it takes product.

The Role

You'll be the first dedicated Internal Audit hire — which means real ownership, real impact, and a direct line to the CEO and Board. The framework exists; you'll sharpen, embed, and run it. This is not a back-office compliance role. It's a strategic function with teeth.
Your core focus will be across four areas:
  • Strategic audit planning — building and owning the audit programme, risk assessments, and objectives across all markets
  • Compliance oversight — MGA, KSA, and Portuguese gambling regulations, AML, and corporate governance
  • Operational auditing — independent review of financial, operational, and control processes across the business
  • Game Risk — acting as the company's Game Risk Analyst under Dutch RG regulations, owning the game risk classification and policy
 As the business grows, you'll build and lead the internal audit team around you.

What They're Looking For

  • At least 3 years' experience in the iGaming industry — audit experience preferred but not essential
  • Solid knowledge of MGA, KSA, or Portuguese gambling regulations (one or more)
  • An investigative mindset — someone who spots what others miss and asks the right questions
  • Previous MGA Key Function Holder experience is a strong plus
  • Degree in Law, Accounting, Finance or a related field preferred; internal audit qualification an asset
  • Fluent English; Dutch and/or Portuguese a significant advantage
  • Hands-on, ethical, and comfortable working at pace in a scale-up environment

What's On Offer

?  Hybrid working model ?  Brand new Malta offices with private parking
?  Competitive salary (DOE) ?  Private health insurance
?  Wellness allowance up to €600/year ?  Meal allowance
?  Employee assistance programme ?  Company discounts & birthday perks
?  Daily office lunches & healthy snacks ?  Direct CEO reporting line

About the Company

Our client is an ambitious, fast-growing online casino operator active across regulated European markets, with offices in Malta, Estonia and the Netherlands. Operating across three regulated jurisdictions and holding licences from the MGA and KSA, they have built a culture defined by simplicity, integrity, and trust — and they're scaling fast. With around 100 people and multiple established brands, this is a business at an exciting inflection point.
