  • Set expectations for Technology teams to develop and own remediation plans, and track issues through resolution.

Reporting and programme improvement

  • Consolidate monitoring results and thematic findings, maintain evidence-based conclusions, and escalate material issues or systemic control weaknesses.
  • Analyze findings to assess control effectiveness and inform risk assessments and ratings; lead the annual refresh of the programme’s technology component.

  • At least 7 years of compliance monitoring, control self-assessment, or audit experience in gaming or another highly regulated sector.
  • Strong knowledge of gambling regulatory frameworks, technology systems, and the software development lifecycle.
  • Testing laboratory experience and/or experience in jurisdictions requiring regulatory approval for gambling technology is advantageous.
  • Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders; excellent written and spoken English.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Risk Management, or a related discipline.
  • A relevant qualification or certification in technology audit, compliance, information systems, risk, or governance, such as CISA or CRISC, is desirable.

Key capabilities
