About the Job
We’re looking for a Compliance Manager to join our Thailand team, focusing on regulatory compliance. In this role, you’ll be our in-country expert on local regulations, serving as the primary point of contact with Thai regulators—especially the Bank of Thailand (BOT) and Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO). You’ll help ensure that our operations stay compliant with local laws while enabling the business to grow safely and responsibly.
This is a hands-on role where you’ll lead end-to-end regulatory filings, monitor regulatory developments, and advise internal teams on compliance obligations. You’ll also support licensing matters and product launches, translating regulatory requirements into practical business guidance. You’ll work closely with the Head of Compliance (Thailand), your Deputy Anti-Money Laundering Officer counterpart, and cross-functional teams such as Finance, Ops, Legal, Risk, and Product.
If you enjoy working independently, want to partner closely with regulators, and thrive in a fast-paced fintech environment — this role is for you.
