• Support the analysis of the impact of new and amended local (RBI, SEBI) and global regulations on our existing processes.
• Maintain impeccable records of all compliance activities to ensure a clear audit trail for internal and external reviews.

Advisory & Regional Support (APAC Focus):

Skills Required:

• 2-4 years of direct experience in a compliance, AML/KYC, or risk operations role within the financial services sector (e.g., banking, fund administration, capital markets).
• Strong foundational knowledge of Indian financial regulations, including SEBI, RBI guidelines, and AML/CFT standards set by FIU-IND.
• Proven experience in client onboarding, CDD, EDD, and periodic reviews.
• High proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, especially Excel (Pivot Tables, VLOOKUPs) for data analysis and reporting.

Highly Desirable:

• Experience with compliance screening and monitoring tools (e.g., Refinitiv World-Check, LexisNexis).
• Understanding of compliance frameworks in other APAC jurisdictions.
