The challenge
Your job: manage compliance operations for Deriv entities across multiple jurisdictions—where regulatory frameworks require coordination, where Labuan Financial Services Authority (LFSA) and other regulators expect rigorous oversight, and where compliance monitoring determines whether we maintain licenses to operate.
You'll contribute towards compliance for entities spanning investment services, banking, and virtual assets. You conduct compliance monitoring, gap analyses, manage licensing requirements, liaise with LFSA and other regulatory authorities, and build compliance frameworks that satisfy regulatory obligations.
This isn't compliance administration. It's executing compliance operations for multiple entities where your regulatory expertise enables business to operate smoothly.
Why this matters
Deriv operates in 25+ jurisdictions serving millions of traders globally. Your compliance work for Labuan-based entities and broader operations determines which products we offer, which licenses we maintain, and whether operations withstand regulatory scrutiny.
Your expertise to our compliance frameworks enable business operations by ensuring we stay compliant where regulatory expectations are high.
Why Deriv
You'll use AI tools we're building. Partner with engineers to automate regulatory monitoring, gap analyses, and reporting. You decide what gets automated.
You'll own compliance for multiple entities. Drive compliance with full accountability. Work with LFSA and other regulators independently.
You'll work on several financial services compliance. Build expertise in LFSA requirements, Labuan International Business and Financial Centre (IBFC) frameworks, and other regulatory environments.
What you'll do
- Manage compliance monitoring for assigned entities across investment services, banking, and virtual assets. Conduct compliance reviews and gap analyses to identify risks and recommend remediation.
- Monitor regulatory changes and assess business impact. Update compliance frameworks proactively as regulations evolve.

Who you are
- 5+ years in regulatory compliance in financial services. You've conducted compliance monitoring, worked with regulators, and managed licensing or regulatory requirements.
- You understand regulatory frameworks for investment services, banking, or virtual assets. Experience with LFSA, Labuan IBFC, or similar offshore regulators is valuable.

- You communicate clearly across teams. Strong English. You explain regulatory requirements to non-compliance teams.

The honest reality
You'll execute compliance for multiple entities with different regulatory frameworks. You'll make calls when regulations are unclear and when guidance hasn't been formalized. You'll need strong regulatory judgment and the ability to work independently.
The work requires rigor and attention to regulatory detail. In return, you'll build compliance expertise across multiple jurisdictions and offshore regulatory frameworks that's valuable as fintech compliance becomes more complex.

You'll be based in Labuan, Malaysia, managing compliance for Deriv entities globally. Labuan offers island lifestyle with Malaysian mainland proximity—competitive compensation, career growth with a global fintech, and opportunity to work across jurisdictions from a strategic financial hub.
