Our ambition is to redefine sports betting as a community-driven entertainment experience, built on rigorous compliance and player protection from day one. We are already working with leading UK gambling counsel and a specialist compliance consultancy on our UKGC operating licence application, so the Head of Compliance will not be the most experienced compliance person in the room when it counts most — and we think that is the right setup for a candidate who wants to grow into a CCO role over the next 18-24 months. The Opportunity We are appointing a Head of Compliance to serve as our regulatory "right person" before the UKGC, drive our operating licence application alongside our external advisors, and build HYPES's compliance function from scratch.
