The government of Gibraltar has begun the search for a new gambling commissioner and executive director, with the long-serving Andrew Lyman set to stand down from the role.

In an official job post, the government said the successful candidate will provide “strategic leadership and overall responsibility” for its Gambling Division.

According to the job specification, candidates should have at least five years’ experience in a senior executive, regulatory or strategic role within the gambling industry. They should also have a strong understanding of operational, commercial and regulatory landscape within gambling.

Other requirements include significant expertise in gaming taxation and fiscal policy, as well as experience engaging with UK government stakeholders.
