Senior Certification Specialist

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our Certification team sits within Legal & Compliance and makes sure every game and platform component LeoVegas Group launches is properly certified for each regulated market we operate in. As Senior Certification Specialist, you’ll be the team’s subject-matter expert: leading complex certification and audit projects, owning our day-to-day relationships with accredited test labs and setting how the team certifies across markets, so launches stay on track and the Group’s licences stay protected.

You’ll work closely with the Gaming, Casino, Change Management and Technical Compliance teams, as well as external test labs and game suppliers, and report to the Certification Manager. It’s a role with real ownership and variety: you’ll shape procedures, turn regulatory and technical-standard changes into practical requirements, and help build the capability of the wider team by mentoring Certification Specialists and Officers.

YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR:

Lead end-to-end certification and audit projects for games, platform and critical components across our regulated markets

Own day-to-day relationships with accredited test labs, including scoping, quotes, timelines and escalations

Act as the senior escalation point for complex certification issues raised by the business and the certification team

Monitor regulatory and technical-standard changes and turn them into clear certification requirements

Review certificates and test reports for gaps and agree corrective actions with labs and game suppliers

Plan certification timelines with stakeholders so certification never blocks a launch

Own and improve internal certification procedures, market checklists and post-certification reviews

Mentor Certification Specialists and Officers and share jurisdiction knowledge across the team

OUR SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE THE FOLLOWING:

ESSENTIAL SKILLS

In-depth knowledge of certification requirements for online gambling across multiple regulated markets

Extensive experience working with accredited test labs, including scoping, quotes and resolving findings

Solid understanding of online gambling games and platforms, including game, platform and critical-component certification

Proven ability to run many certifications in parallel against fixed launch dates

Experience monitoring regulatory change and assessing its impact on certification

NICE TO HAVES
