The Government of Gibraltar has opened the selection process to fill the position of Chief Executive and head of the Gambling Division, following the conclusion of Andrew Lyman’s term.
The Government has stated that the new officeholder must have “strategic leadership” and a thorough understanding of the sector’s operational, commercial, and regulatory landscape. Candidates are also required to have at least five years of experience in a senior executive role, whether strategic or regulatory, within the industry.
Other requirements include a proven track record in fiscal policy and in managing relationships with UK government entities, as well as extensive knowledge of gambling regulation in the UK and other international markets.
Interested candidates can submit their applications until June 26. The position will be for a two-year term with the option of renewal.
This process brings to an end the term of Andrew Lyman, who has headed the Gambling Division since 2018.
Lyman has been responsible for overseeing the entry into force of the new regulatory framework governing the activity in the UK, replacing the Gambling Act of 2005. The legislation offers a modernized framework for licensing, which also expands oversight and sanctioning powers, and strengthens accountability measures for all players in the sector.
