Responsibilities
- Regulatory leadership and governance
- Own the compliance agenda end-to-end: readiness for VARA expectations, ongoing supervision, and scalable controls as volumes grow.
- Operate as VARA’s day-to-day interface, with the CEO still expected to demonstrate clear judgement and credibility during regulator engagement.
- Stakeholder management
- Establish credibility with VARA early; preference for leaders with prior UAE regulatory engagement—an existing relationship materially de-risks the set-up.
- Act as connective tissue between Dubai market realities and Coins.ph leadership, keeping the build aligned to international expansion priorities.
- Leadership expectations
- Builder mentality: hands-on, comfortable with ambiguity, able to create momentum fast from a standing start.
- Commercial + compliance maturity: move fast, but never at the expense of regulatory credibility and control integrity.
Qualifications
- Senior compliance leader (UAE resident) with 5+ years relevant experience and hands-on exposure to regulated financial services environments aligned to VASP / fintech/ payments.
- Comfortable operating as the primary regulator interface, with the confidence and judgement to build credibility early and maintain it as volumes scale.
- Strong senior compliance leader from a comparable regulated environment in the UAE provided they clearly satisfy the experience threshold and can be accepted as a Responsible Individual.
- ***Join the Coins Team Now!***
Meaningful Collaborations
- The successful candidate will work cross-functionally with other relevant teams to carry out implementations that will improve and create an impact on customer experience.
Scalable Growth -
Be part of a fast-growing organization with the vision to expand its territories outside APAC which will provide opportunities for career advancement.
