Role Overview
We are looking for a Singapore-based Compliance Manager to support a licensed cross-border payments business as it strengthens its compliance framework and prepares for future business expansion.
The role will work closely with management and external advisers on regulatory matters, AML/CFT, governance, regulatory submissions, and the review of new payment products, corridors and partnerships.
This is a hands-on role suited to someone who understands Singapore's payments regulatory environment and can translate regulatory requirements into practical operating processes.
Key Responsibilities
Manage day-to-day compliance matters for a Singapore-regulated cross-border payments business.
Support regulatory submissions, notifications, licence-related matters and ongoing engagement with MAS.
Review new products, payment flows, customer segments, corridors and counterparties from a regulatory and compliance perspective.
Maintain and strengthen AML/CFT, KYC/KYB, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring and related controls.
Support the development and updating of compliance policies, procedures and internal controls.
Advise management on regulatory requirements under the Payment Services Act and related MAS requirements.
Work with business, operations, legal and product teams to ensure new initiatives are structured and implemented appropriately.
Support regulatory inspections, information requests, audits and remediation work where required.
Monitor regulatory developments relevant to payments, remittance and cross-border money transfer.
Help ensure the company's compliance framework remains appropriate as its transaction volumes, customer base and business complexity increase.
Preferred Profile
Experience in payments, remittance, fintech, financial institutions or another regulated financial-services environment in Singapore.
Good understanding of the Payment Services Act, AML/CFT requirements and MAS regulatory expectations.
Experience relevant to cross-border payments, money transfer, payment institutions, AML/CFT, licensing, supervision or regulatory compliance would be particularly valuable.
Experience supporting regulatory applications, material-change submissions, inspections or regulatory engagement is advantageous.
Able to interpret regulatory requirements and convert them into workable business processes and controls.
Comfortable working in a lean environment and taking ownership of practical execution.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Able to work directly with senior management and external legal/compliance advisers.
