• Track global regulatory developments, assess emerging risks, and translate complex requirements into practical solutions.
• Work hand-in-hand with Risk, Operations, Trading and other key functions to resolve compliance issues and design scalable, sustainable controls.
• Prepare high-quality regulatory filings, submissions, and communications, while building strong working relationships with regulators and external stakeholders.
• Investigate potential compliance breaches, support remediation measures, and help reinforce a culture of accountability.
• Proactively share insights into regulatory trends and risks to keep the business ahead of the curve.

Join an elite Legal & Compliance team comprising industry veterans, former regulators, and high-performing professionals who bring deep expertise and mentorship.

Grow Fast, Grow Smart

Experience complex regulatory environments and gain accelerated career development. As one of the core team members in Singapore and/or Kuala Lumpur, you’ll have exceptional access to leadership visibility and advancement opportunities.

Shape Transformation

Be directly involved in scaling our compliance framework – your ideas and contributions will meaningfully influence how we build and refine processes as we expand globally.

Supportive, High-Performance Culture

Work in a collaborative environment that values curiosity, initiative, and continuous learning – with colleagues who genuinely enjoy working together.

What You Bring

• A solid academic foundation, with a Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Law, or a related discipline.
• 3 - 8 years of hands-on compliance experience, with a strong focus on AML/CFT, KYC/CDD, transaction monitoring, regulatory compliance, or broader compliance functions – bringing both technical know-how and practical judgment.
• Strong proficiency in English and Mandarin, enabling you to work effectively with global teams, regional regulators, and multilingual stakeholders. Additional language skills are an advantage in our cross-border environment.
