Top Industries Hiring in Gibraltar 2025 | Jobs & Salaries

Gibraltar's Job Market

Despite being just 6.7 square kilometres, Gibraltar has one of the most dynamic job markets in Europe. The territory's favourable tax structure, English-speaking environment and strong regulatory framework attract international companies across several key sectors. Here is where the opportunities are right now.

iGaming: The Biggest Employer

Online gambling is by far the largest private sector employer in Gibraltar. Over 60 iGaming companies operate from the Rock, holding licences under the Gibraltar Gambling Act 2005. Major names include Entain (owner of Ladbrokes, Coral and bwin), BetVictor, Lottoland, LeoVegas Group, Bally's Interactive and Casumo. Roles span software development, compliance, marketing, CRM, customer support, data analytics, product management and finance. Salaries vary significantly by role but compliance officers and developers typically earn between £45,000 and £75,000, while marketing and operations roles range from £30,000 to £55,000. The sector is always recruiting and many positions welcome remote or hybrid working.

Financial Services

Gibraltar is an established financial centre with a strong presence in banking, insurance, wealth management and fintech. The Big Four accounting firms all have offices here (Deloitte, EY, KPMG, PwC), alongside specialist Gibraltar firms. The territory has also become a hub for blockchain and fintech companies, with Xapo Bank (the world's first licensed crypto-friendly bank) headquartered here. Finance roles typically pay well, with qualified accountants earning £50,000 to £80,000 and senior positions going higher.

Legal

Gibraltar's legal sector is anchored by firms like Hassans International Law Firm (the largest in Gibraltar, established 1939), ISOLAS, Triay and Attias and Levy. These firms handle everything from corporate law and property transactions to regulatory compliance and dispute resolution. Qualified lawyers with experience in gaming regulation, financial services or corporate law are in particular demand.

Technology

Beyond iGaming tech, Gibraltar has a growing standalone tech sector. Gibfibre provides the territory's fibre broadband infrastructure. Several blockchain and DLT companies are licensed under Gibraltar's pioneering Distributed Ledger Technology regulatory framework, which was one of the first of its kind in the world. Developer, DevOps and cybersecurity roles are consistently in demand.

Maritime and Shipping

Gibraltar's port is one of the busiest in the Mediterranean for bunkering (ship refuelling). The maritime sector employs people in port operations, ship management, maritime law and bunkering logistics. It is a smaller sector than iGaming or finance but offers stable, well-paid roles.

Hospitality and Tourism

Tourism contributes significantly to Gibraltar's economy. Hotels, restaurants, tour operators and retail businesses employ a substantial workforce, particularly during the cruise ship season. The Sunborn Yacht Hotel, Rock Hotel and Caleta Hotel are among the larger employers.
