  • Prepare, review and submit regulatory filings, notifications and reports through relevant regulatory portals.
  • Support regulatory audits, inspections and information requests.
  • Work closely with the Chief Compliance & Regulatory Affairs Director to strengthen the Group's compliance culture and regulatory governance.

  • Partner with Legal, Compliance, Product, Marketing, Operations and Commercial teams to ensure business initiatives are compliant and commercially sound.
  • Support wider Group legal projects and initiatives across multiple jurisdictions.
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of legal and compliance processes and documentation.
Who are you?
  • Qualified lawyer with a Law Degree and admission to a Spanish Bar Association.
  • 5+ years of post-qualification experience gained in private practice and/or an in-house legal environment.
  • Strong knowledge of Spanish commercial, corporate and regulatory law.
  • Previous experience interacting with the DGOJ and a solid understanding of the Spanish online gambling regulatory framework.
  • Experience within the iGaming, betting, fintech, payments or another regulated industry would be highly advantageous.
  • Ability to work independently and take ownership of legal and compliance matters.
  • Strong commercial awareness and pragmatic approach to problem solving.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in both Spanish and English.
  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
