Chief Financial Officer, Alberta iGaming Corporation

With the introduction and passage of Bill 48, the iGaming Alberta Act, the province has established the legal framework for a competitive, innovative, and socially responsible digital gaming ecosystem. The launch of Alberta’s private, regulated iGaming will permit private iGaming operators to participate in a controlled iGaming environment. A newly created Crown corporation, the Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC), will be responsible for conducting and managing the market as well as contracting with private iGaming operators.

By establishing the organizational structure and setting key provisions and requirements, the iGaming Alberta Act positions Alberta to create an open, commercial, and regulated iGaming market, and to become a global leader in the iGaming industry.
AiGC is seeking a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to establish and lead the organization’s financial and corporate strategy from inception. Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer with the Board of Directors, the CFO will be responsible for setting financial strategy and establishing the financial, risk, and strategic frameworks that align corporate and provincial objectives while ensuring public accountability. The CFO will establish and oversee the policies, controls, and systems required to support all core finance functions, including financial planning and analysis, budgeting, forecasting, accounting, treasury, and reporting.
As a founding member of the Executive Leadership Team, the CFO will provide strategic financial counsel to the CEO and Board as AiGC builds its operating model, enters into agreements with private operators, and scales market activity. The role will be instrumental in designing and implementing financial systems, processes, and controls that support market operations, operator contracting, revenue flows, long‑term financial sustainability, and compliance with legislative and Crown governance requirements.

The CFO will oversee market revenues, payments, and financial risk, and will lead audit readiness and reporting to government and other stakeholders.
The CFO will play a key role in shaping AiGC’s strategic, business, and operational planning by facilitating planning sessions, coordinating and monitoring strategic initiatives, and providing regular updates to the Board and Executive Team. This includes oversight of AiGC’s Business Plans and Annual Reports, including budget planning and execution, P&L reporting, and coordination with the Office of the Auditor General, in compliance with legislative requirements and timelines.

The CFO will also establish an enterprise‑wide approach to identifying, assessing, managing, and monitoring risks that may impact organizational objectives. Leveraging market insights and data analytics, the CFO will inform decision‑making and provide program and policy advice, translating complex financial information into clear, practical guidance for a broad range of stakeholders, including industry participants, government partners, and Board members.
This is a rare opportunity to shape the financial foundation of a new Crown corporation at a pivotal moment in Alberta’s gaming landscape. The CFO will directly contribute to the successful launch and long‑term credibility of the province’s regulated iGaming market.
To fill this position, Alberta iGaming Corporation has partnered with leadership advisory firm Odgers. Applications are encouraged immediately, and should be submitted online, no later than January 30, 2026.
