This is a fully remote position operating on Hong Kong / Singapore business hours. The role is open to a range of experience levels, from junior to Assistant Manager, with the level and package calibrated to the successful candidate's background. The firm's Dubai operation is expanding rapidly within a highly regulated environment, driving a high frequency of compliance submissions and filings.

• Relevant experience in compliance, with exposure to company secretarial, screening, and record keeping functions; open to candidates from junior through Assistant Manager level.

• Comfortable handling high‑volume, repetitive but detail‑critical work with consistency and accuracy.
• Hands‑on interest or experience in AI tools and workflow automation.
