Job Overview

Head of Fintech Compliance Engineering & Regulatory Technology

Work Mode: Fully Remote

Seniority Level: Senior Leadership / Governance Authority

Role Overview (RegTech & Compliance-Embedded Format)

This role is designed for a fintech professional who understands that risk, compliance, and regulatory oversight are system-level design challenges rather than post-hoc functions. The Head of Fintech Risk & Regulatory Technology ensures that digital financial platforms are compliant-by-design, resilient, and auditable.

• Align governance and operational workflows with Saudi Arabia’s regulatory environment and global best practices.

Core Responsibilities

Risk Systems Engineering

• Architect real-time transaction monitoring, risk scoring, and behavioral analytics frameworks.

• Implement automated alerting, escalation, and incident response mechanisms.

• Ensure systems handle high-volume, low-latency transaction environments with fault tolerance.

Regulatory Technology Design

• Convert regulatory obligations (AML, KYC, reporting) into actionable system workflows.

• Design automated pipelines for real-time and periodic regulatory reporting.

• Maintain auditability through data lineage, log tracking, and system transparency.

Governance & Strategic Oversight

• Develop governance models for risk and compliance systems.

• Conduct periodic system audits and regulatory readiness reviews.

• Lead multi-disciplinary teams on compliance engineering initiatives and operational risk management.

Required Expertise

• 12+ years in fintech risk systems, RegTech, or compliance engineering.

• Strong expertise in AML, fraud detection, transaction monitoring, and regulatory reporting.

• Experience embedding regulatory controls into high-volume fintech platforms.

• Proven ability to operate independently at senior governance level.

Engagement Structure

• Fully remote role aligned with Saudi Arabia regulatory frameworks.

• Senior governance authority with strategic oversight responsibilities.

• Internationally competitive compensation for senior fintech risk leadership.
