Mr Who?

MrQ - we're an awesome, award winning online casino launched in 2018. We're big on tech, big on performance and most of all - big on fun. Over the years, we have experienced explosive growth - which means we need more rock stars to join our quest for total world domination.

At MrQ, our mission is simple: keep players happy through progressive, value‑driven entertainment delivered with transparency and integrity. As a fast‑growing online gambling operator, we recognise that a strong, independent approach to financial crime prevention is essential to maintaining trust with our players. We are now looking for an experienced Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) to take full ownership of our AML/CTF framework and lead the business with authority and clarity in this crucial area. This is a senior role responsible for shaping and safeguarding MrQ’s approach to Anti‑Money Laundering, Counter‑Terrorist Financing, and compliance with all anti‑money laundering laws and regulations. The MLRO will:

What You Will Do

• Act as our key point of contact with the National Crime Agency and the Gambling Commission, using sound judgement, expertise, and independence to ensure that all our decisions reflect both regulatory expectations and our commitment to doing the right thing for our players;
• Lead the design, maintenance, and continuous improvement of the company’s AML/CTF framework. This includes owning our policies and risk assessments, overseeing customer due diligence and enhanced due diligence processes, ensuring robust ongoing monitoring, and being accountable for the quality, timeliness, and accuracy of all suspicious activity reporting;
• Handle escalations from across the business and manage investigations end‑to‑end, bringing clarity and confidence to complex decisions such as DAML submissions and high‑risk reviews;
• Play a central role in shaping how the business understands and manages financial crime risk. Working in partnership with other areas in the business, you will ensure that AML considerations are embedded across the player journey, while also vetting, risk assessing, and monitoring all B2B relationships;
• Be expected to maintain a close working relationship with senior leadership, provide regular reporting on AML/CTF performance, emerging risks, regulatory developments, and the effectiveness of our controls;
• Proactively identify opportunities to enhance our frameworks, prepare for regulatory assessments, and ensure the business is always ready to demonstrate its compliance standards with confidence.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone with extensive experience acting as an MLRO within regulated environments, ideally in remote gambling. You must:

• Be comfortable making independent decisions, managing sensitive information and balancing commercial considerations with regulatory requirements;
• Have a deep understanding of the Gambling Commission’s expectations, the Money Laundering Regulations, POCA, and the DAML process;
• Be in possession of a Personal Management License (PML);
• Have experience working directly with regulators;
• Be proactive, composed, and confident in your expertise. You will be someone who values clarity, consistency and good governance, and who can communicate complex regulatory requirements in a way that is practical, constructive, and aligned with MrQ’s culture;
• Possession of professionally recognised AML/CTF qualifications such as ICA or ACAMS would be highly advantageous.
