Head of Asset Risk

We're searching for a candidate with a highly specific skill-set to take on the role of Head of Asset Risk for a start-up company providing a defined credit framework via Bankroll-as-a-Service to high-volume, possibly high-risk industries.

The role spans two dimensions of risk. The first is "operational" risk: volatility, win/loss swings, and the quality of clients/operators.

The second is liquidity risk: making sure capital is in the right place at the right time, that funding commitments can always be met, and that no single position can impair the pool. At the centre of both sits the credit question — ensuring an operator is never extended more credit than their wagering volume and economics can reliably support.

This is a senior, hands-on position. You will build the models, set the limits, run the monitoring and own the judgement calls, working directly with the leadership team and reporting to the board.

Salary up to €80K depending on experience.

Role & Responsibilities

• Take ownership of the risk management of all bankroll assets end to end

• Set, monitor and enforce credit limits for each operator, calibrated to their wagering volume, GGR, margin profile and payment behaviour — so that exposure never outruns what an operator's volume can back up

• Underwrite new operators: assess their volumes, game mix, player base, financial standing and operational integrity before capital is committed

• Model casino risk — game volatility, RTP and hold variance, downswing scenarios and concentration — and translate the output into practical exposure limits

• Manage liquidity risk across the bankroll: cash-flow forecasting, funding-buffer policy, stress testing and early-warning indicators for pool depletion

• Run ongoing surveillance of deployed capital, with clear escalation triggers when an operator's performance, volume or behaviour deviates from expectations

Education, Skills & Experience

• Advanced education in Pure Maths, Statistics, Economics, Financial Engineering, Actuarial Science or similar, and genuine comfort with probability, volatility and statistical modelling

• Background: Finance, Credit Risk, Treasury, Asset Management, Structured Lending

• The ideal candidate has worked with risk management within the iGaming industry and understands iGaming economics; GGR, RTP, player reserve, bonus dynamics, player behaviours

• Adept at creating and assessing risk models

• Able to take data-driven decisions

• Excellent communication and presentation skills

• Integrity beyond reproach

About this role

• Based in Malta on an office-first, hybrid basis OR fully remote on a B2B contract

• Salary €55-80K (open to considering "Manager" aspiring to grow into "Head of")

• Direct influence on decisions

• Highly independent role
