iGaming:
If it’s iGaming, we know a thing or two. At Light & Wonder, It’s all about the games, and our digital team leads the global iGaming market, providing jaw-dropping content and innovative software that powers the world's most successful online gaming providers.

Position Summary

This role is the operational backbone of our customer service delivery in South Africa and is critical to ensuring seamless, high-quality delivery of our casino offering. Acting as the central link between suppliers, operators, and internal teams, it drives efficiency, reduces go-live delays, and upholds consistently high service standards by bringing structure, visibility, and accountability across game approvals, launches, and ongoing performance. By combining hands-on execution with proactive communication and data-led optimisation, the role ensures that both our operators and supplier partenrs experience a reliable, well-managed, and continuously improving product offering. 

 

Roles & Responsibilities: 

  • Proactively share and communicate game approval updates with each operator, keeping secondary approvals on track and reducing delays ahead of go-live 

  • Own and maintain a game approval tracker across all suppliers and operators, ensuring clear visibility and accountability at every stage 

  • Act as the primary communication link between third-party (3PP) suppliers and the L&W compliance team, keeping the process moving without unnecessary back-and-forth

  • Keep the Marketing team supplied with accurate content updates across all portfolios for newsletters and outbound communications 

  • Own pre-launch game testing across all operator accounts - this is a critical part of the role. Maintain test accounts for every operator, test all games ahead of release, and make sure every implementation is correct before go-live. Getting this right every time is a direct reflection of the service standard we want to be known for 

  • Provide first-line support to customers via live chat, handling light troubleshooting before raising tickets and following up with internal teams and third parties to make sure issues get resolved quickly

  • Experience supporting client accounts or operators, with a strong focus on service delivery and relationship management 

  • Exposure to game performance analysis, reporting, or optimisation (preferred) 

  • Experience with testing, QA, or validating product releases before go-live (highly desirable) 

Ideal Candidate Profile / Qualifications

  • Proven ability to coordinate across multiple parties (suppliers, clients, internal teams) and maintain clear, proactive communication 

  • Comfortable with game platforms, back-office tools, and basic troubleshooting; able to manage test accounts and validate implementations
