The ideal candidate will have a strong background in regulatory compliance, particularly with Curacao/Anjouan-licensed operators, and experience advising on legal risks in different gambling markets.

  • Market Risk Assessment: Provide senior management with strategic advice on the risks and benefits of entering new markets, focusing on the legal implications of transitioning from pre-regulated to regulated environments.
  • Transition to Regulated Markets: Lead efforts to ensure smooth transitions from operating in pre-regulated markets to full regulatory compliance as the business expands, advising on licensing procedures, regulatory requirements, and risk management.
  • B2B Provider Contracts: Draft, review, and negotiate contracts with B2B providers, ensuring favourable terms while managing legal risks.
  • Cross-Jurisdictional Expertise: Stay updated on gambling regulations in different markets, proactively advising on legal strategies for expansion and compliance.
  • Corporate Governance & Reporting: Ensure the company's governance structures meet legal standards, maintaining accurate records and advising on board reporting requirements.
  • Commercial Agreements & Negotiations: Lead negotiations for key commercial agreements, ensuring terms align with business goals while minimizing risk exposure.
  • Legal Research & Risk Analysis: Conduct comprehensive legal research on relevant regulatory issues and provide actionable insights to internal teams.
  • Stakeholder Management: Serve as a key advisor to the executive team, offering strategic legal insights to support our growth in compliance with legal standards.


Qualifications:

  • Law Degree & Licensing: Qualified to practice law in a recognized jurisdiction, with international legal experience preferred.
  • Experience in Online Gambling: 5-7 years of legal experience, with a focus on the online gambling industry, particularly in working with Curacao-licensed operators.
  • Regulatory Transition Expertise: Proven track record in guiding companies through the transition from pre-regulated to fully regulated markets.
  • Regulatory Knowledge: In-depth understanding of gambling regulations across various markets and the ability to assess and advise on compliance and risk management.
  • B2B Contract Expertise: Strong experience in negotiating B2B contracts, with a focus on mitigating risks while fostering business growth.
  • Risk Management: Ability to assess and manage legal risks, particularly in emerging and regulated gambling markets.
  • Commercial Acumen: A business-minded approach to legal strategy, balancing legal considerations with commercial objectives.
  • Communication & Leadership: Excellent communication and leadership skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.
  • Adaptability: Thrive in a fast-paced, start-up environment and manage multiple projects with competing deadlines.


This senior role is crucial to our mission to redefine the gambling entertainment industry through innovation. If you are a strategic, creative, and forward-thinking Legal Professional, we invite you to join our team and help shape the future of our brand.
