Game Certification Lead

Job Description

In this role, you’ll own the full lifecycle of game certification and release. From managing test lab submissions and resolving compliance issues, to giving the final go-ahead for launch — you’re the one who ensures everything runs smoothly and by the book. You'll collaborate with developers, QA, compliance experts, and regulators to bring top-quality games to players across UK, Malta, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Baltics, and beyond. This is a hands-on, cross-functional position perfect for someone who loves structure, problem-solving, and the thrill of shipping something great.

Responsibilities

• Own the Certification Process
• Lead all game certification efforts in regulated markets — liaising with test labs, navigating technical standards, and securing approvals.
• Ensure every certification issue is effectively handled by liaising directly with colleagues across the entire studio - including game developers, artists, animators, mathematicians and DevOps.
• Be the Lab Point of Contact
• Coordinate with accredited testing partners. Submit builds and docs, respond to queries, and ensure any issues are quickly resolved.
• Spot & Solve Issues Fast
• Identify compliance bugs or technical roadblocks, and work with internal teams to fix them efficiently — keeping projects on track.
• Keep Docs in Check
• Maintain accurate records of certifications, reports, and approvals. Make sure everything’s easy to find for internal teams and partners.
• Bridge the Gap
• Act as the link between studios and labs. Make sure everyone’s aligned on what’s needed before submission, and champion compliance best practices.
• Greenlight Game Launches
• Once certified, coordinate the release with ops and product teams — ensuring everything’s configured, tested, and ready to go live.
• Communicate Like a Pro
• Update stakeholders on status, risks, and timelines. Raise flags early, suggest solutions, and keep everyone informed.
• Drive Process Improvements
• Use lessons from past launches to improve workflows, reduce delays, and fine-tune tools like JIRA and Confluence.

Qualifications

• B2B experience — you have been working in a similar role within a B2B game provider.
• iGaming experience — you know the ropes of regulated markets and game certification.
• Regulatory know-how — familiar with UKGC, MGA, ADM, DGOJ, SGA, etc.
• Project coordination chops — you can manage multiple releases at once, keeping details and deadlines in check.
• Strong communicator — comfortable talking to labs, regulators, and internal teams.
• Detail-focused and analytical — able to interpret reports, logs, and testing results.
• Tech-savvy — you get how games are tested and deployed and can navigate internal environments.
• Tools experience — JIRA, Confluence, Excel, QA tools, test case systems.
• Education — bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (e.g. Computer Science, Engineering, Business/Project Management) or equivalent professional experience. Fluent in English (written and spoken); additional European language skills are a plus.
