Overview

As the UAE tightens its position as a global fintech powerhouse—home to ADGM, DIFC, and a robust pipeline of digital banks, digital assets exchanges, and cross-border neobanking platforms—the demand for embedded, real-time, machine-readable regulatory systems is rising. This position invites an exceptionally senior Head of Embedded Regulatory Intelligence to lead remote product and policy architecture for next-generation RegTech platforms operating across the Emirates.

You will design AI-enabled policy logic that integrates seamlessly with core banking platforms, lending tools, digital asset compliance engines, and embedded financial services. This role entails deep engagement with the UAE’s complex multilayer regulatory ecosystem: Central Bank, SCA, ADGM, DFSA, and international AML/CFT compliance standards.

Core Responsibilities

• Architect a modular RegTech rules engine for dynamic interpretation and execution of UAE’s evolving digital finance regulations, including real-time risk flagging and automated reporting logic.

• Lead policy parsing initiatives converting SCA, DFSA, and ADGM rulesets into machine-readable formats using NLP, knowledge graphs, and regulatory ontology.

• Integrate logic engines into lending platforms, buy-now-pay-later systems, crypto custody protocols, and investment advisory stacks across UAE markets.

• Build supervisory technology (SupTech) dashboards for remote auditing, digital inspections, and automated stress tests for UAE fintechs.

• Interface with AI/ML teams to train compliance engines on historical enforcement data, fraud case studies, and transaction anomaly patterns.

• Manage remote legal engineers, compliance analysts, and developer squads working on multi-jurisdictional regulatory workflows.

Candidate Requirements

• Master’s degree or PhD in RegTech, Financial Law, AI Policy, or Applied Cryptography.

• 10+ years in a regulatory technology leadership role, preferably with ADGM, DIFC, or an international financial hub.

• Deep expertise in translating regulatory text into executable rule logic (e.g., using GRC platforms, RegML, or OpenReg).

• Proven leadership of cross-functional remote teams across legal, policy, and engineering disciplines.

• Thorough familiarity with UAE’s digital asset rules, FinTech licensing pathways, and AI governance charters.

Desirable Qualifications

• Previous deployment of AI-driven compliance bots for regulated financial institutions.

• Contributions to global regtech standards, FATF recommendations, or ISO/IEC regulatory automation schemas.

• Working Arabic proficiency for decoding bilingual policy texts.
