This is a high-impact leadership role with visibility across senior management and the Board.

What you'll need to succeed

You'll be able to demonstrate relevant previous core compliance experience, as well as:

  • Have a Bachelor's degree in Law, Finance, Business, or related field. Professional compliance certifications by CAMS and/or ICA would be an added advantage
  • 8-12 years of compliance experience in the Financial Services, Payments, Fintech or similar industries
  • Proven experience with MAS regulatory supervision and policy implementation as well as having good relationship with regulators
  • Strong knowledge of MAS regulations and Payment Services Act (PSA)
  • Experience in digital assets or cryptocurrency compliance is a plus

What you'll get in return

In return for your dedication and hard work, you will be rewarded with:

  • Strategic leadership role in a high-growth fintech environment
  • Opportunity to shape the compliance function and influence licensing outcomes
  • Collaborative culture with strong executive support for compliance
  • Competitive compensation and benefits package
  • Career development opportunities in a forward-thinking, global organisation
