Chief Information Security Officer

Gaming1

Liège, Belgium

THE SCOPE

With 30 years of history, today Gaming1 is one of the international leaders in both land-based and online games of chance (casino games, sports betting and poker). Its evolution at the heart of innovation is accompanied by a diversification and specialization of positions, with the creation of new cutting-edge jobs.

As part of this evolution, Gaming1 is looking to appoint a senior Information Security leader who will help shape and drive the company’s security roadmap across both digital and physical environments.

YOUR ROLE

As Chief Information Security Officer/Head of Information Security, you will take ownership of the company’s information security agenda and help build a robust, pragmatic, and scalable security framework aligned with Gaming1’s growth ambitions.

This is a high-impact role for a senior security professional who combines strategic thinking with operational pragmatism and is comfortable working across governance, risk, compliance, technology, and business functions.

The role currently sits within the broader Compliance and Risk environment, with visibility to senior leadership and the Board on strategic security matters. The CISO will serve as the primary authority on information security governance, policy, and risk management — defining standards and governing risk, while providing clear guidances to IT and Engineering on execution, design, and remediation.

YOUR PROFILE

We are looking for a senior security professional with a strong foundation in information security, cyber risk, and governance, and the credibility to operate effectively at executive level.

• Significant experience in information security, cyber security, or IT security leadership roles;
• Experience defining or contributing to security strategy, governance, and risk management frameworks;
• Ability to engage senior stakeholders and present to executive or Board-level audiences;
• Experience in dynamic, technology-enabled, and fast-evolving environments;
• Exposure to regulated sectors such as gaming, financial services, payments, or similarly complex operational environments is a strong advantage; prior experience in the gaming or iGaming industry is particularly valued;
• Strong knowledge of ISO 27001, NIST CSF, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and broader security maturity frameworks; hands-on experience with certification or compliance programmes is highly valuable;
• Comfortable working in a build-and-shape environment, with the ability to define team structure, attract talent, and grow security capabilities from a limited initial baseline;
• Experience managing or building security teams and overseeing cybersecurity budgets, with the ability to make sound investment decisions aligned with risk and business priorities;
• Relevant professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or CCISO are highly desirable;
• Willingness to travel to operational sites as needed.
