Well, What About The Role?

Our players are the reason we're here. Making sure they have a safe, fair and seamless experience isn't just good business, it's the point. We're building and continuously raising the bar on a culture of responsible gambling. We're looking for someone process-driven and detail-oriented, who can also adapt quickly when the unexpected comes up.

As KYC Team Lead, you'll own the day-to-day of our KYC operation across North America. You'll lead from the front when the team needs hands-on support, and step back to focus on strategy and process when they don't.

Please note that this position has access to customers details – therefore requires employees to be able to obtain and maintain licensing in all jurisdictions Bally ’ s operates in. By applying for this role, and supplying the necessary details, you hereby grant us permission to apply for these background checks upon a successful job offer. This will be done in a confidential manner, and solely for the purposes of verification.

What You'll Do

Lead The Team

  • Lead, coach and develop a high-performing KYC team — set the standard, share the wins, own the misses.
  • Run the daily playbook: shift coverage, queue management, escalations, and quality assurance.
  • Build a culture of ownership, curiosity and continuous improvement (and, yes, fun).
  • Keep training current and sharp across the operations team — no one gets left behind.
Run The Operation:
  • Oversee and support all KYC functions across our North American operations, start to finish, end to end.
  • Monitor KYC processes in real time to detect suspicious or unexpected activity, and troubleshoot issues the moment they surface.
  • Make balanced, well-reasoned decisions on player accounts where the rulebook doesn't quite fit the situation.
  • Provide regular, clear updates to the Payments & KYC Manager — wins, blockers, the whole picture.
Drive Results:
  • Continuously evaluate processes, controls and vendor performance with one big goal in mind: lifting our KYC pass rate without compromising compliance.
  • Own the KPIs that matter — pass rates, turnaround times, manual review volumes, vendor SLAs — and use them to drive change.
  • Identify friction in the player onboarding journey and partner with Product, Payments and Engineering to engineer it out.
Work Cross-functionally:
  • Work hand-in-glove with Compliance, Payments, Fraud & Risk, AML, and Customer Support — KYC sits at the centre of this Venn diagram, and so will you.
  • Be the go-to subject matter expert on KYC for the wider business.
What We're Looking For
  • Excellent knowledge of FinCEN and US state-level regulation as it relates to KYC.
  • End-to-end understanding of online KYC processes from document capture and identity verification, through to enhanced due diligence and ongoing monitoring.
  • Deep knowledge of online gaming Payments and AML processes.
  • Exceptional communication skills, written and verbal. You can explain a complex KYC edge case to an analyst, an executive, and a regulator without losing anyone.
  • Genuine customer service mindset, every flagged account is a real player on the other side.
Experience Required
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Data Analytics, or a related field
  • Experience interacting directly with gaming regulators and supporting compliance-related fraud reviews
  • Prior leadership or senior-analyst experience in a KYC, AML, Fraud or Compliance function ideally in online gaming, sports betting, fintech or payments.
  • Passion for sports betting and/or the online gaming industry

  • Competitive pay with annual salary reviews & performance bonuses
  • Medical, dental and vision plan options
  • 401(k) matching for long-term wins
