About the Opportunity

We are recruiting for a Senior Regulatory Compliance Executive on behalf of a well-established, global financial technology organisation. In this role, you will take ownership of end-to-end compliance monitoring for licensed entities, ensuring regulatory frameworks remain robust, current, and defensible. This is a senior, hands-on position where your judgement, regulatory insight, and analytical rigour will directly protect and strengthen regulated operations.

Company Information
You will be joining a fast-growing fintech operating across multiple regulated jurisdictions, including investment business and virtual asset services. The organisation combines innovative technology with strong governance and is recognised for taking a forward-thinking approach to compliance and regulatory engagement.
  • Operates within the fintech, investment services, and digital assets space
  • Strong emphasis on regulatory integrity and licence preservation
  • Collaborative, high-performance compliance culture
  • Global operations with a dedicated Cayman Islands compliance team
  • Regular interaction with senior stakeholders, boards, and regulators
  • Environment that values ownership, accountability, and innovation

Responsibilities and Duties
As a Senior Regulatory Compliance Executive, you will be responsible for:
  • Owning and executing the Compliance Monitoring Programme (CMP) for assigned licensed entities
  • Assessing regulatory change, conducting gap analyses, and advising on business impact
  • Preparing board-level compliance reports, risk assessments, and regulatory updates

Qualifications and Skills
To succeed in this role, you will bring:
  • At least 7 years’ experience in regulatory compliance or compliance monitoring
  • Proven experience independently running compliance monitoring programmes
  • Strong knowledge of investment business regulation; exposure to derivatives, CFDs, or virtual assets is advantageous
  • Familiarity with offshore regulatory authorities (or the ability to learn frameworks quickly)
  • Excellent written communication skills, with experience producing regulator- and board-ready documentation
  • Analytical mindset with the confidence to make informed compliance judgements
  • Degree in law, finance, compliance, or a related discipline
  • Professional certifications such as ICA or ACAMS 

Benefits and Perks
You can expect a competitive and well-rounded package, including:
  • Attractive, tax-efficient remuneration reflective of seniority and experience
  • Opportunity to work on complex, multi-jurisdictional regulatory matters
  • High level of autonomy and ownership over your compliance portfolio
  • Exposure to fintech, investment business, and digital asset regulation
