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 role is pivotal in ensuring that the company's fast-paced, multi-asset, and multi-jurisdictional expansion program remains in full regulatory compliance. 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 the live licensing and acquisition pipeline, managing regulatory relationships, and overseeing all legal and compliance communications. Applicants must have a non-negotiable background in multi-jurisdictional regulatory knowledge, with a strong command of tier-one and emerging-market frameworks, and demonstrable regulator-facing credibility. A strong advantage will be given to those with M&A and licensing fluency, experience in AI-enabled legal operations, and a proven track record in function leadership and SLA ownership. 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 role offers a unique opportunity for a professional to take on a group-level mandate, with direct access to the CEO, and the authority to shape the compliance function at a strategic level.
