Job description

Compliance Management Executive (715147)

Compliance Management Executive

The role

You will support compliance and governance for both Malaysian and Singapore entities, working alongside a team that invests in private equity, venture capital and digital assets. Your company secretarial background is the starting point. We will train you on the job to support compliance for a MAS-licensed firm, with hands‑on exposure to how deals and funds actually run.

What you will do

Board meeting support

• Prepare Board meeting agendas, papers and draft resolutions, working with our company secretary.
• Track Board decisions and follow up on action items after each meeting.

Regulatory compliance (MAS, under supervision)

• Prepare MAS regulatory returns, surveys and notifications, and track the regulatory calendar.
• Support AML/CFT controls: client due diligence, periodic KYC reviews, name screening and record‑keeping.
• Maintain compliance registers: representatives, breaches and incidents, conflicts of interest, gifts, personal trading and outsourcing.
• Track new MAS notices, guidelines and circulars, and help update policies and SOPs.
• Support compliance monitoring, internal and external audits, and regulatory inspections.

Investments and fund governance

• Review private equity and venture capital transactions from a compliance angle: investor onboarding, subscription documents, conflicts and approvals.
• Support governance for the group's funds and special‑purpose vehicles, coordinating with administrators, trustees, auditors and legal counsel.
• Prepare compliance reports for the Compliance Directors and the Board.

Training and career path

• Hands‑on training in MAS compliance from our Compliance Directors and Consultants, learning on live work rather than in a classroom.
• A path toward a MAS compliance officer role as your skills and experience grow.

Who we are looking for

• 4–6 years' experience in a company secretarial role, at a corporate secretarial firm or in house. Exposure to financial services, funds or regulated entities is a plus.
• Degree or professional qualification in law, corporate administration, accounting or finance.
• A genuine interest in investments, private markets or financial services is a strong advantage.
• Strong attention to detail, sound judgment on confidential matters, and the ability to manage many deadlines across two jurisdictions.
• Excellent written and spoken English. Bahasa Malaysia and other languages are additional advantage

What we offer

• A move from company secretarial work into investment‑firm compliance, with hands‑on exposure to private equity, venture capital, structured products and digital assets.
• A seat close to real deals: see how a MAS‑licensed platform sources, approves, onboards and governs its investments.
• Mentorship from senior compliance professionals and direct access to leadership.
• The role is fully on‑site in Kuala Lumpur office.
