Great Britain’s gambling industry is in a constant state of flux, fuelled by shifting consumer behaviour and the rapid growth of technology. Within this uniquely challenging and evolving environment, the Gambling Commission is responsible for licensing and regulating the National Lottery. Our aim is to protect the integrity of the Lottery, safeguard players and maximise funds to good causes. Now, as we prepare for the fourth licence competition to run the National Lottery, we need you to play a key role in this critical process.

That will involve assessing a wide range of market factors and policy questions that we need to take into account. Working closely with a Project Lead, you’ll research and analyse a variety of disciplines - from commercial assessment and procurement to consumer insight and stakeholder engagement, interpreting evidence to formulate pragmatic and insightful proposals. In all of this, you will ensure that each strand of work has clear outputs.

While we don’t expect you to be expert in all of the subject areas you will cover, you will need experience of developing strong stakeholder relationships. Excellent communication, presentation and report writing skills are all essential, coupled with the ability to understand complex issues and creatively source and analyse information. Equally importantly, you must have an enquiring and inquisitive approach that leaves no stone unturned to bring concepts and related issues to life.

Currently embarking on a two-year change programme as we adapt and develop our approach to the evolving needs of consumers and the industry, it’s an exciting time to join the Commission. So bring us your talents – and we’ll bring you the support you need to achieve your professional goals.
