  • Work closely with the Financial Partnership team to handle enquiries from external parties including banking and scheme partners
  • Develop and manage a regular monitoring and reporting process to inform senior management, the audit committee and the board as necessary
  • Design and execute reports to measure the success and performance of Compliance initiatives, operations, and Key Risk Indicators
  • Drive the design and monitoring of internal controls to support Compliance policies and procedures

Requirements:

  • A minimum of 6-8 years of financial crime and investment compliance experience in a financial institution regulated by a UAE authority (CBUAE)
  • Deep expertise in UAE AML/CTF laws, DIFC/ADGM Rulebook, and local financial services regulations
