About Napoleon

Napoleon is Belgium’s go-to entertainment brand, and we’re just getting started.

For over 40 years, we’ve been creating moments that matter: the last-minute goal, the daily spin, the live race that has you on the edge of your seat. Today, we do that across Sports Betting, Online Casino, 18 gaming arcades and Napoleon Casino Knokke.

We’re proudly Belgian and genuinely international. As part of Super, a technology and entertainment group active across 12 countries, we combine the energy of a local brand with the scale and ambition of a global player. That means real opportunities to grow, learn from brilliant teams across Europe, and make your mark on products used by millions.

  • Monitor changes in existing legislation and new legal developments relevant to Napoleon, translating these into clear, actionable guidance for impacted business lines.
  • Build legal awareness across the organisation by delivering training, developing templates, and helping departments handle day-to-day matters more autonomously, without losing sight of applicable legal boundaries.

What we are looking for

  • 5 to 8 years of professional experience in one or more of the legal fields relevant to this role (gambling, commercial, contract, corporate, or labour law).
  • Demonstrable ability to provide practical, business-focused legal advice and translate complex legal matters into clear, usable guidance.
  • Experience drafting, reviewing, and standardising a range of commercial agreements.
  • Familiarity with regulatory compliance and the ability to monitor and interpret legislative change.
  • Excellent written and spoken communication skills in both Dutch and English.
  • Ability to work autonomously and manage a varied workload with strong attention to detail.
  • Comfortable working as part of a close-knit legal team whilst also engaging directly with stakeholders across the business.

Nice to have

  • Experience in social and labour law.
  • Good working knowledge of French or any other language.

What we offer

  • Flex your Rewards Plan (personalised compensation package with our Napoleon Flex Plan)
  • Medical / Health Insurance
  • Open Annual Leave

  • Training & Learning Development
  • Competitive salary package with extra-legal benefits common in the Belgian market, including options for a company car or a mobility budget
