The ideal candidate will bring a balanced background across gaming compliance, AML, regulatory affairs, ethics, anti-bribery, and corporate governance.

·     Lead vendor due diligence and third-party risk oversight

·     Partner closely with executive leadership and the Compliance Committee on risk strategy and governance matters

·     Provide practical, business-oriented compliance guidance while helping leadership understand and mitigate risk

·     Support compliance investigations, remediation efforts, and ongoing regulatory readiness

What you’ve got:

·     Senior compliance leadership experience within gaming, hospitality, financial services, or another highly regulated environment

·     Strong understanding of gaming regulations, AML, and corporate compliance frameworks

·     Experience working directly with regulators and executive leadership teams

·     Ability to operate with confidence, sound judgment, and executive presence in fast-paced environments

·     Integrated resort experience strongly preferred

·     Banking or financial institution compliance exposure is a plus

·     ICA, ACAMS, or similar certifications preferred

·     Relocation is required for this position.
