Compliance officer – DFSA/FSRA compliance (COBS) experience required

AED 35K – 55K per month + benefits
Abu Dhabi
Reference: 4197D5

We are recruiting for a leading firm seeking candidates with recent experience of DFSA or FSRA COBS compliance.

Duties will include:

• Acting as the compliance officer and MLRO for client firms
• Completing all required compliance monitoring and drafting reports including recommendations on control enhancements or procedural changes where required
• Ensuring that both AML and compliance systems operate properly and all staff are properly trained on such
• Assisting in all required reporting to the FSRA
• Advising client firms on advisory issues on an ongoing basis

You must live in or close to the centre of Abu Dhabi with at least five years’ experience in conduct of business compliance from the buy and/or sell side (and a good understanding of AML requirements, even if not worked in an AML role before), some of which must have recently been with a firm regulated by the DFSA or FSRA.

Please note that onshore experience, for example CMA/SCA (or just AML), is not relevant for this role, so please do not apply unless you have at least two years’ proper compliance experience under the DFSA or FSRA COBS (Conduct of Business Rulebook).

Also, even if you live in the south of Dubai, Jebel Ali, etc., you would still be expected to move to Abu Dhabi (a small relocation allowance is available).

If this sounds like you, please apply with your CV. Only successful applications will be contacted. Under no circumstances are your details ever passed on without your specific permission.
