MLRO (German Speaking)

Fast-growing dynamic iGaming company looking for MLRO, probably part-time. The successful individual will be based in or willing to move to Malta and be able to travel to Germany when required. They would need to have a background in financial services, law or a related field with specific and extensive experience of AML in Germany, and to be a fluent German-speaker. This would be to meet the AML requirements of the new regulator in Germany for an operator due to receive one of the new German sports-betting licenses.

It is strongly preferred that the candidate will have worked in the iGaming industry as they would need to oversee our AML / CFT obligations in Malta, where the operator is already licensed. We are looking initially at a part-time position but there might potentially be ways of turning this into a full-time job if the scope of the successful candidate’s role were to be extended (for example to oversee fraud and risk).

• Willing to be located in Malta


• iGaming experience


• Desirable experience
