The position requires a minimum of three years’ experience in senior management or leadership roles in inspection and/or regulatory matters. Additional points will be awarded in the curricular analysis for experience in control, auditing and/or process analysis and modelling, as well as intermediate English proficiency. The successful candidate will be appointed by President José Antonio Kast and will directly manage a team of 11 people, with indirect oversight of a further 52 staff.
The new superintendent will inherit a land-based casino industry that has been in decline since 2019. According to industry data cited in the tender notice and by local media, the sector has seen a 20 per cent drop in gross gaming revenue and a 29 per cent fall in visitor numbers compared with 2019 levels. Recent licensing rounds have also struggled, with only two of five casino concessions attracting qualifying bids in August 2026.
Key challenges outlined in the call include developing and implementing proposals to update the regulatory model to incorporate new trends, technologies and sustainability criteria; strengthening legality and transparency in the industry; designing an annual responsible gambling promotion plan for operators and users; and coordinating actions against illegal gambling, money laundering and organised crime.
The role could also expand significantly depending on the outcome of the online gambling bill currently in its second constitutional stage in the Senate. The original text proposes transforming the SCJ into the Superintendencia de Casinos, Apuestas y Juegos de Azar, with powers to regulate and supervise the online market in addition to physical casinos. Under current law, the SCJ’s authority is limited to Chile’s 17 licensed land-based casinos, and it has repeatedly stated it lacks competence over online platforms.
The selected candidate will receive a monthly net salary of approximately CLP 9.32m (including allowances and performance bonuses), corresponding to Grade 1 on the remuneration scale for supervisory services with a one per cent High Public Management allocation.
