Requirements - Regulatory Expertise: Deep knowledge of gaming regulation, promotions compliance, and/or skill-gaming regulations across U.S. jurisdictions, with the ability to translate legal complexity into operational practice. - Builder Mindset: Comfortable operating in ambiguity, building structure where none exists, and making sound decisions without fully formed processes or precedent. - Cross-Functional Influence: Able to drive compliance adoption across Product, Marketing, and Operations without direct authority, balancing rigor with business enablement. - Risk Judgment: Strong ability to assess, prioritize, and communicate compliance risk to senior stakeholders, distinguishing between critical exposure and manageable risk. - People Development: Track record of hiring, developing, and managing compliance professionals, with the ability to build a high-performing team from the ground up.
