Full Job Posting
Job Description
- You'll contribute towards compliance for entities spanning investment services, banking, and virtual assets.
- You conduct compliance monitoring, gap analyses, manage licensing requirements, liaise with CMA, VARA, and other regulatory authorities, and build compliance frameworks that satisfy regulatory obligations.
- This isn't compliance administration. It's executing compliance operations for multiple entities where your regulatory expertise enables the business to operate smoothly.
Why this matters
- Deriv operates in 25+ jurisdictions serving millions of traders globally.
- Your compliance work for Dubai based entities and broader operations determines which products we offer, which licenses we maintain, and whether operations withstand regulatory scrutiny.
- Your expertise in our compliance frameworks enables business operations by ensuring we stay compliant where regulatory expectations are high.
Why Deriv
- You'll use AI tools we're building. Partner with engineers to automate regulatory monitoring, gap analyses, and reporting. You decide what gets automated.
- You'll own compliance for multiple entities. Drive compliance with full accountability. Work with different global regulators, including the Labuan FSA, independently.
- You'll work on global financial services compliance. Build expertise in CMA, VARA requirements, and other regulatory environments.
What You'll Do
- Manage compliance monitoring for assigned entities across investment services, banking, and virtual assets. Conduct compliance reviews and gap analyses to identify risks and recommend remediation.
- Monitor regulatory changes and assess business impact. Update compliance frameworks proactively as regulations evolve.
- Manage CMA, VARA (and other) licensing requirements and regulatory engagement. Support licensing applications, respond to regulatory queries, and represent Deriv during inspections.
- Build and maintain compliance policies and procedures. Ensure frameworks meet regulatory obligations.
- Prepare regulatory reports and submissions. Ensure accuracy and timeliness.
- Support regulatory inspections and internal/external audits. Maintain documentation and act as a point of contact during inspections.
- Partner with engineers to build AI automation for compliance operations. Design tools that eliminate manual processes and reporting.
- Provide compliance guidance to internal teams. Translate regulatory requirements into practical terms.
Who You Are
- 5+ years in regulatory compliance in financial services. You've conducted compliance monitoring, worked with regulators, and managed licensing or regulatory requirements.
- You understand regulatory frameworks for investment services, banking, or virtual assets. Experience with CMA, VARA, or similar offshore regulators is valuable.
- You work independently. You make judgment calls, prioritize effectively, and take accountability for outcomes without constant supervision.
- You're comfortable with AI and automation. You use AI tools, or you're ready to learn.
- You communicate clearly across teams. Strong English. You explain regulatory requirements to non compliance teams.
- You have a degree in law, compliance, finance, or a related field. You keep your knowledge current through professional development.
The Honest Reality
- You'll execute compliance for multiple entities with different regulatory frameworks. You'll make calls when regulations are unclear and when guidance hasn't been formalized. You'll need strong regulatory judgment and the ability to work independently.
- The work requires rigor and attention to regulatory detail. In return, you'll build compliance expertise across multiple jurisdictions and offshore regulatory frameworks that's valuable as fintech compliance becomes more complex.
