Were a team of 75+ across India, the UK, the UAE, EU and the US, working with extreme ownership, radical candour, and an obsession with customer impact.
We celebrate builders who question assumptions, ship fast, and turn regulatory complexity into elegant solutions.

About The Role
We’re building a global wealth platform spanning multiple products and jurisdictions and we’re looking for a Head of Compliance [Wealth] to own and scale the compliance function across this ecosystem.
Over the next few years, this will include digital gold across markets, broking and clearing entities in India and GIFT City, distribution of US equities and global mutual funds, digital assets investing platforms, and alternative investment products.
This role is about building compliance from the ground up: defining frameworks, securing licenses, and ensuring that every product and market we enter is fully compliant while still moving at speed.

- Global Wealth Compliance Framework: Design and implement compliance frameworks across all wealth businesses including digital gold, broking, distribution, and crypto products.
- Licensing & Regulatory Setup: Lead and manage license applications across jurisdictions (India, GIFT City, US, UK, and others), ensuring timely approvals and regulatory alignment.
- Regulatory Compliance & Governance: Ensure ongoing compliance with all applicable regulations across products and markets, including audits, reporting, and internal controls.
- Product & Market Expansion Support: Work closely with product and business teams to ensure new products, partnerships, and geographies are built with compliance embedded from the start.
- Operational Execution: Own documentation, policy writing, reviews, and day-to-day compliance operations across the group.
- Audit & Risk Management: Oversee audits, manage regulatory interactions, and ensure all processes are defensible and well-documented.
- Technology & Efficiency: Build a compliance function that leverages technology to improve monitoring, reporting, and operational efficiency.
What We Need
- 5 - 10 years of experience in compliance, legal, or regulatory roles within financial services
- Strong experience in wealth products, broking, asset management, or investment platforms
- Experience working across multiple jurisdictions and regulatory environments
- Proven track record of setting up or scaling compliance functions
- Deep understanding of licensing processes and regulatory requirements across markets
- Strong ability to operate hands-on while managing multiple priorities
Who You Are
- You are a builder who can design systems and execute them yourself
- You are comfortable working in a lean setup without large teams or layers
- You balance regulatory rigor with business speed and practicality
- You have strong judgment and can make decisions in ambiguous environments
- You communicate clearly and can work effectively with product, legal, and business teams
Bonus Points
- Experience in fintech or cross-border financial services
- Exposure to digital assets, or alternative investments
- Experience working with regulators in India, GIFT City, US, or UK
- Familiarity with building tech-enabled compliance systems
Why Join Us
- Build and own the compliance foundation for a global wealth platform
