Compliance Manager

 Job Description:

R77 is supporting an established Dubai-based iGaming technology client to hire a Compliance Manager who can confidently own compliance operations across multiple regulated markets. This is a hands-on role for someone who understands the pace and complexity of B2B iGaming (operators, game providers, platform/aggregation partners) and can translate evolving regulatory requirements into practical, business-ready processes.

The role

Youll take end-to-end ownership of day-to-day compliance activity, ensuring the business stays aligned across active jurisdictions, maintains audit-ready documentation, and is seen by partners as a credible and solutions-focused compliance counterpart.

Key responsibilities

  • Own compliance operations across multiple iGaming jurisdictions, ensuring strong control, documentation, and consistency.
  • Track regulatory change and clearly assess impact on commercial activity, integrations, product changes, and partner relationships.
  • Support licensing, certification, and compliance documentation requirements relevant to B2B iGaming/aggregation-style operations.
  • Act as the key point of contact for compliance discussions with external stakeholders, including:
    • Operators
    • Game providers
    • Platform / integration partners
    • External compliance teams and compliance officers
  • Maintain structured policies, trackers, partner requirements, and audit-ready records (always current, always accessible).
  • Support partner onboarding, ensuring requirements are understood early and met without blocking delivery.
  • Identify compliance risks early, escalate clearly, and propose practical solutions that protect the business while enabling growth.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally (Product, Tech, Ops, Commercial) to embed compliance into delivery and decision-making.
  • Manage complex scenarios where jurisdictional requirements differ, change frequently, or have unclear interpretations.

Required experience & skills

  • Proven compliance experience within iGaming (B2B preferred) or similarly regulated online gambling environments.
  • Strong ability to operate confidently in a fast-changing, multi-market regulatory context.
  • Excellent written and spoken English.
  • Highly organised and detail-oriented, with the ability to build structure where its missing.
  • Comfortable working independently and owning outcomes without constant supervision.
  • Confident communicator with external partners — able to be firm, calm, and credible.
  • Collaborative mindset and the ability to influence internal stakeholders across functions.

Nice to have (strong advantages)

  • Legal background or strong exposure to legal/commercial documentation.
  • Familiarity with common iGaming compliance areas such as certifications, jurisdictional rule sets, responsible gaming expectations, and partner due diligence.

What success looks like

  • Compliance is proactive, structured, and trusted — not reactive or last-minute.
  • Partners experience you as a professional, reliable compliance counterpart.
  • Regulatory changes are tracked early and handled smoothly.
  • Internal teams receive clear guidance, enabling delivery without unnecessary risk.
