Compliance Manager

Working Location: KL Area

Job Description Role Mission:

• Compliance Operations & Compliance Advisory
• IT Compliance – not just security
• Someone who understands Bank risk appetite and requirements and is able to advise us.
• Has experience/understanding of financial products and tech services.
• Someone who is a Compliance Officer – designation for AMLA. Who will exercise their authority by tactfully agreeing or disagreeing with management and explain why.
• Able to work on process creation, formalization, and refinement e.g., make a process, see it to fruition (even if not 100% there) and then make improvements.
• Able to understand the licenses and take a look at for processes to see what overlaps/what doesn’t overlap and remediate by addressing the gaps.

Qualifications/Requirements: 

• Approximately 8–10 years of relevant experience in Compliance, Regulatory, Risk or Assurance, with at least 5 years in BNM-regulated payments, e-money, banking or similar products regulated by the Securities Commission Malaysia, or experience serving comparable fintech, payments or regulated financial services providers, either in Malaysia or other markets.
• Working knowledge of BNM requirements covering e-money, merchant acquiring, technology risk, outsourcing, business continuity management (BCM), customer information and AML/CFT. The candidate needs this knowledge to advise, not to operate.
• Hands-on experience with at least two of SOC 2, ISO 27001 or PCI DSS, preferably as a coordinator or control owner rather than solely as an auditor.
• A proven track record of driving cross-functional remediation to closure, including working with business and control owners to address identified compliance gaps.
• Experience handling bank client due diligence, security or compliance questionnaires and audit rights exercises, ideally from the vendor or service-provider side.
• Experience handling regulatory incidents, including assessing regulatory implications, notification requirements, escalation and follow-up actions.
• Strong ability to interpret regulatory requirements and translate them into practical business requirements, controls, policies and remediation actions.
• Board-quality writing and communication skills, with the ability to articulate regulatory, contractual and financial exposure in clear commercial terms.
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to work effectively across Product, Technology, Information Security, Operations, Legal, Risk, senior management and other business functions.
• Comfort being an independent second line — willing to challenge, say no, escalate and document decisions when required, particularly when acting as a Compliance Officer.
• Able to balance regulatory expectations with commercial realities while maintaining the independence and integrity of the Compliance function.
• Advantageous: consumer credit or moneylending licensing experience, and certifications such as ICA, CAMS, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor or CISA
