Our client is a consulting firm that brings simplicity to financial services regulation on a global scale. Headquartered in Singapore, they support a wide range of clients, including alternative investment managers, banks, and financial technology companies across major financial hubs.

• Use Excel to track controls, build dashboards, and improve internal monitoring
• Conduct trade surveillance and assist with monitoring exceptions and alerts
• Conduct regulatory research and participate in developing scalable compliance tools

What You Bring

• 1–3 years of experience in compliance, legal, or regulatory operations
• Open to fresh graduates who have completed relevant internships
• Strong knowledge of MAS or SFC regulations; exposure to other APAC regimes is a plus
• Proficiency in English and Mandarin is required to work with international clients and authorities. Knowledge of Cantonese is an advantage for working with existing clients and authorities.
• Strong writing ability and the skills to take new regulations and translate them into actionable processes
• Proficient in Excel (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, conditional formatting)
• Detail-oriented, structured thinker, and confident communicator
• Able to thrive in a fast‑paced, entrepreneurial team

Preferred Backgrounds

• Buy‑side / sell‑side compliance
• Fintech or insurance with regulatory exposure
• Law firms or legal consulting
• Big 4 risk advisory or internal audit
• Local compliance consulting firms with SFC experience

What Our Client Offers

• Direct exposure to their clients and leadership from day one
• Flexible in office and hybrid opportunities
• Support for professional development
• A collaborative, growth‑focused environment
• Competitive salary and benefits

Thinking Beyond the Rulebook

Our client doesn’t just hire rule‑followers; they hire lateral thinkers who see compliance as a business enabler. If you're the kind of person who can connect dots, propose smarter workflows, and spot both risk and opportunity, this is your platform to grow.
