• Create and refine AI-driven risk models and simulations to uncover fraud, operational risk, and compliance gaps, supported by real-time dashboards, interpretable outputs, and stress testing.
• Run tests on emerging RegTech tools, evaluating them for regulatory impact, integration feasibility, and business value.

• Translate complex regulatory requirements into robust, scalable systems, collaborating with Engineering, Product, Data, and Compliance teams to drive seamless integration.
• Drive adoption of compliance solutions across teams by aligning with business goals, clearly articulating trade-offs, and delivering usable, risk-informed tooling.
• Shape the long-term strategy, staying ahead of regulatory trends and working with global regulators and industry groups to influence future frameworks.

You may enjoy working with us if you:
