Head of Change & Tech (Fraud/Risk &AML)
LeoVegas · Sliema
ABOUT THE ROLE
Our FRAM (Fraud, Risk Management & AML) function keeps LeoVegas safe, compliant and ready to grow across every market we operate in. As Head of FRAM Change & Tech, you will lead the function's change, automation and technology agenda, turning a wide range of improvement ideas into one clear, prioritised and delivered portfolio. Reporting to the Director of FRAM, you will set a multi-year automation ambition that reshapes how FRAM works, rather than simply improving it step by step. While the role starts without direct reports, it is designed to grow into a leadership position, with a team of change and automation specialists built over time through internal moves and new hires.
You will work as a peer with Product & Technology leadership to secure FRAM's place on company-wide roadmaps, partner with our PIA team to identify and business-case automation and AI-enabled solutions, and work closely with FRAM operational leaders, Compliance, Legal and Commercial. This is a rare opportunity to shape how a regulated, multi-market business scales its fraud, risk and AML operations, making sure FRAM is never the constraint on new products, markets or regulation.
YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR:
Lead and prioritise FRAM's change, technology and automation portfolio, including a multi-year automation strategy
Manage the FRAM priority backlog end-to-end, with transparent tracking and clear accountability for outcomes
Track and report benefits realisation, showing value delivered against value promised to the Director and senior leadership
Represent FRAM as a peer in Product & Technology roadmap, resourcing and governance forums
Identify and business-case automation opportunities with P&T and PIA to reduce manual effort, risk and cost-to-serve
Lead readiness planning for new regulatory requirements, products and markets across all licensed jurisdictions from FRAM.
Act as the senior escalation point for cross-functional delivery risks and blockers
Build and grow a team of change and automation specialists over time, embedding change management as a core discipline across FRAM
OUR SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE THE FOLLOWING:
ESSENTIAL SKILLS
Significant experience leading change portfolios, including prioritisation, governance, business cases and benefits realisation
Deep understanding of fraud, risk and AML operating models, ideally in iGaming, fintech or another regulated industry
Strong knowledge of automation, AI/ML and workflow platforms, enough to set direction and hold technology partners accountable
Excellent senior stakeholder management, negotiation and influencing skills, including with Product and Technology leaders
Proven experience building and leading a team of specialists and driving a delivery-focused culture
NICE TO HAVES
Experience of regulatory readiness planning across multiple licensed markets, such as differing KYC requirements
A recognised change or portfolio management qualification (e.g. Prosci, MSP, PRINCE2 or Agile)
