Namibia.- The Lotteries Board of Namibia has opened applications for an Operations Manager position as it moves forward with plans to roll out and regulate lottery operations nationwide.
The vacancy was announced in an advertisement published in The Namibian newspaper, calling for suitably qualified candidates to apply for the position.
As stated in the advertisement, the operations manager will be responsible for guiding the Board’s daily operations, ensuring efficiency, adherence to the Lotteries Act, 2017 and alignment with its statutory mandate.
Other key responsibilities include implementing a performance management system to track key indicators such as licensing compliance, operator performance and fund disbursement effectiveness. The role also requires data analysis to identify operational risks, forecast outcomes and support decision-making at executive and board level.
In addition, the successful candidate will oversee improvements to business processes, including the redesign of operational systems to enhance efficiency and compliance, as well as managing financial and budget responsibilities.
The recruitment comes at a time when the Board is expanding its operational structure ahead of the planned introduction of Namibia’s state lottery system. In 2025, the Board confirmed that preparations for the country’s first state lottery had reached an advanced stage, including work on procurement processes, regulatory systems and operational frameworks required to launch the project.
The operations manager role is expected to support these developments by overseeing internal processes and ensuring operational coordination within the Board.
The regulator set a closing date of May 5, 2026 for submissions and directed all prospective candidates to forward their applications to its human resources department.
