• Provide expert guidance to the Project Manager and the development team during sprint planning and development, clarifying business logic as needed.
• Define acceptance criteria for User Acceptance Testing (UAT) from a compliance and business rule perspective, and lead the final validation from a business perspective.

Professional Skills

• Deep Industry Knowledge: Hands-on, practical understanding of the full corporate lifecycle (incorporation, maintenance, amendments, dissolution) for BVI, Cayman Islands, and Hong Kong entities.
• Compliance Expertise: Familiarity with key compliance areas such as Economic Substance, AML/KYC, and statutory filings for these jurisdictions.
• Analytical Skills: Proven ability to interpret legal and regulatory texts and translate them into structured business rules and process flows.
