RegTech Specialist

Are you passionate about harnessing the power of technology to navigate the complex world of regulatory compliance? Do you enjoy working at the intersection of finance, law, and cutting-edge technology to create solutions that help businesses meet evolving regulations? If you’re ready to lead the charge in developing and implementing regulatory technology (RegTech) solutions that simplify compliance processes and ensure risk mitigation, our client has the perfect role for you. We’re looking for a RegTech Specialist (aka The Compliance Tech Navigator) to develop smart, automated tools that help organizations stay compliant while streamlining their operations.

As a RegTech Specialist at our client, you’ll collaborate with compliance teams, software engineers, and business leaders to design and deploy advanced technology solutions that help businesses adhere to regulatory frameworks such as AML, KYC, GDPR, and more. Your work will drive innovation in risk management, data reporting, and regulatory compliance, all while ensuring operational efficiency.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Design and Implement RegTech Solutions:

• Develop and deploy RegTech solutions that automate compliance processes such as AML (Anti-Money Laundering), KYC (Know Your Customer), and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). You’ll build systems that ensure real-time compliance, monitor risk, and generate automated reports.

• Implement systems that enable businesses to track and report regulatory data efficiently. You’ll work with big data technologies and advanced analytics to ensure accurate, real-time reporting and compliance with financial and privacy regulations.

• Integrate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies to detect compliance risks, flag suspicious activities, and enhance fraud detection. You’ll develop predictive models that help businesses identify risks before they become issues.

• Focus on embedding security into every step of the RegTech solution development process. You’ll ensure that systems comply with relevant regulations (e.g., PCI-DSS, AML, GDPR) while protecting sensitive financial data through encryption, authentication, and secure data handling.

• Streamline regulatory processes by creating automated workflows that reduce manual effort. You’ll design solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing systems, making compliance efficient, accurate, and easy to manage.

• Stay up to date with regulatory changes and industry trends to ensure that RegTech solutions evolve in response to new laws and compliance requirements. You’ll update and maintain systems as regulations change, ensuring the business remains compliant in a dynamic environment.
