Group Chief Compliance & Legal Officer

The Company is seeking a Group Chief Compliance and Legal Officer to lead the development of a robust compliance architecture across multiple business lines and jurisdictions. This pivotal role is not for the faint-hearted; it demands a professional with a proven track record in multi-jurisdictional regulatory environments, including both tier-one and emerging-market regimes. The successful candidate will be responsible for building and deploying a group-wide compliance reporting framework, creating an AI-enabled legal document database, establishing internal legal SLAs, and deploying legal and compliance risk monitoring tools. Additionally, the role involves driving a live licensing and acquisition pipeline, ensuring regulatory soundness in the group's expansion program, and managing all legal and compliance communications. Key competencies for this role include non-negotiable multi-jurisdictional regulatory knowledge and regulator-facing credibility, with a strong advantage for those with M&A and licensing fluency, as well as experience in AI-enabled legal operations. The ideal candidate is likely to be a current Chief Compliance Officer, Head of Compliance, Regulatory Affairs Director, M&A Compliance Lead, or Senior Legal Counsel with a focus on compliance. The position offers a unique opportunity for genuine architectural ownership, a direct line to the CEO, and the chance to make a significant impact in a live, active, and AI-forward environment. The assessment process is rigorous and designed to ensure the right fit for this high-stakes, high-reward role.
