Senior Compliance Officer

Overview

We’re looking for a proactive Compliance Manager to help operationalise our compliance framework as we scale — embedding strong controls and processes across trading, operations, and finance.

Responsibilities

• Implement and run day-to-day compliance controls under VARA Broker-Dealer / VAMI rulebooks and MAS PSA SPI requirements — including client money safeguarding, reconciliations, market conduct monitoring, best execution oversight, and conflicts of interest registers.
• Oversee AML / KYB onboarding, ongoing monitoring, sanctions screening, and suspicious transaction reporting. Act as escalation point for more complex onboarding cases.
• Operate the firm’s Compliance Monitoring Program : performing daily / quarterly / annual checks, documenting evidence, and escalating issues.
• Support regulatory licensing workstreams — assist the Head of Compliance in preparing responses, collating documentation, and updating policies / procedures based on MAS / VARA feedback.
• Maintain compliance registers (outsourcing, complaints, whistleblowing, gifts / hospitality, conflicts of interest) and ensure issues are tracked through to remediation.
• Prepare and submit regulatory filings (monthly, quarterly, annual) and coordinate with Finance / Operations to ensure accuracy.
• Partner with trading, operations, legal, and technology teams to ensure policies translate into effective operational processes.
• Deliver training and awareness sessions to staff, reinforcing obligations around AML / CFT, market conduct, client money, conflicts, and cybersecurity.
