About the Role

We're seeking a Regulatory Compliance Manager who is passionate about fintech innovation and committed to upholding the highest standards of regulatory compliance. In this role, you'll help build compliance frameworks and programs to ensure that KOHO's operations align with the regulatory requirements, including those set forth by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) and other regulatory bodies, all while supporting our mission to democratize finance.

What You'll Do

• Compliance Program:

  • Design and implement our Regulatory Compliance Management (RCM) framework in line with OSFI guidelines and other standards.

  • Build the compliance operations infrastructure (e.g., GRC tools) and lead core activities like change management, issue management, regulatory reporting, and training.

• Regulatory Oversight:

  • Monitor and interpret OSFI guidelines and other relevant regulatory frameworks to ensure KOHO's compliance.

  • Stay abreast of changes in regulations and advise internal stakeholders accordingly.

• Policy Development:

  • Develop, implement, and maintain compliance policies and procedures (including monitoring and testing plans) that reflect current regulatory requirements and best practices.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate compliance considerations into business processes.

• Training & Awareness:

  • Design and deliver compliance training programs to educate employees about regulatory obligations and ethical standards.

  • Foster a culture of compliance and ethical behavior across the organization.

• Monitoring & Reporting:

  • Conduct regular compliance audits and assessments to identify potential risks and areas for improvement.

  • Prepare and submit compliance reports to senior management and regulatory authorities as required.

• Regulatory Engagement:

  • Serve as a point of contact for regulatory inquiries and examinations.

  • Coordinate responses to regulatory findings and implement corrective actions as needed.
    

What You'll Bring

• Experience:

  • Minimum of 5 years in a compliance role within a financial institution regulated by OSFI.

  • Proven experience building or scaling compliance frameworks and programs (not just maintaining mature ones).

• Knowledge:

  • In-depth understanding of Canadian financial regulations, including OSFI guidelines, the Bank Act, and anti-money laundering (AML) requirements.

  • Familiarity with fintech operations and digital financial products is an asset.

• Skills:

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to effectively collaborate with diverse teams.

  • High level of integrity and attention to detail.

• Education & Certification:

  • Bachelor's degree in Law, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field.

  • Professional certifications such as CAMS (Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist) or CRCM (Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager) are advantageous.
