Overview:
We are hiring an Executive Head of RegTech Automation & Real-Time Compliance Intelligence, focused on creating self-evolving regulatory enforcement platforms designed for Bahrain’s rapidly digitizing banking and fintech sector. With the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) pioneering frameworks around eKYC, open banking, crypto-assets, and crowdfunding, there is a pressing need for scalable compliance infrastructure that functions not as a constraint—but as a business enabler.
This role leads the architecture of AI-driven rule engines, cognitive compliance assistants, and sector-specific supervisory frameworks that streamline reporting, detect anomalies, and ensure perpetual readiness for audits.
Key Responsibilities:
🧠 Regulatory Intelligence Engine Development
-
Develop modular, updatable AI engines capable of parsing and codifying CBB’s regulatory updates in real-time using NLP and machine-readable directives.
-
Transform CBB Rulebooks, AML directives, GDPR-equivalent laws, and crypto-asset guidance into automated digital compliance schemas.
🔄 Real-Time Compliance Pipelines
-
Create ingestion pipelines that monitor real-time transactional flows, user journeys, and internal processes—flagging policy deviations before breach thresholds.
-
Integrate AML, counter-terrorism, and cybersecurity risk models for entities offering digital wallets, embedded finance, and fractional investing.
🛡️ Supervisory Technology (SupTech) Collaboration
-
Build digital dashboards for board-level compliance oversight and supervisory integrations with the CBB’s fintech regulation department.
-
Support SupTech pilots for digital inspections, automated internal audit generation, and breach self-reporting.
🤝 Cross-Border Regulation Harmonization
-
Design multi-jurisdictional compliance adapters for Bahrain-based fintechs expanding to UAE, KSA, or Southeast Asia, enabling simultaneous rule-matching.
-
Enable seamless licensing support through pre-audit data compliance certifications.
Candidate Requirements:
-
12+ years in financial compliance technology, AML/CTF automation, legal tech, or AI-based risk assessment.
-
Deep knowledge of Bahrain’s Fintech Regulatory Sandbox, open banking directives, and token economy initiatives.
-
Strong background in RegOps frameworks, audit intelligence, and cloud-based compliance workflows (AWS, Azure).
-
Experience with machine learning, NLP for legal compliance, and compliance process orchestration engines.
