Operations Compliance Manager

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 we add markets.

What you'll do:

• Own day-to-day regulatory compliance across our licensed entities - with their 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.
