Senior Compliance Analyst

As a Senior Compliance Analyst at Deriv, you'll safeguard our business and clients by driving a strong culture of compliance across our operations. Your analytical expertise ensures internal processes meet regulatory and policy requirements, while reinforcing the integrity of our business practices. Using advanced, AI-enhanced tools, you'll strengthen our ability to assess issues, support effective decision-making, and contribute to lasting improvements across the organisation.

Deriv's mission is Trading for Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime. Real money, real regulations, real consequences. Every jurisdiction has different rules, every trade needs monitoring, and manual review doesn't scale to the volume we run at.

We're building continuous monitoring, automated screening, and audit trails that hold up to regulatory scrutiny—because they're more consistent than checking things by hand. You'll work inside those systems, using AI-enhanced tooling to assess issues faster and go deeper than a spreadsheet ever could.

You've done this at regulated scale. A university degree in finance, economics, law, risk management, criminology, business studies, data science, management, or a related field, plus 5+ years of compliance experience in financial services, fintech, investment services, or another regulated environment.

You know what "compliant" actually requires. Strong knowledge of regulatory requirements and industry standards, with real experience in customer due diligence, transaction reviews, and sanctions screening—not just training on them.

You find the pattern in the noise. Strong analytical skills for spotting anomalies in transaction data, comfortable in Excel and with complex datasets.

You write and speak with precision. Clear English, meticulous attention to detail, and the judgment to make sound calls on limited information without cutting corners on compliance standards.

You act with integrity when no one's checking. Reliable, self-motivated, and adaptable when priorities shift—and genuinely interested in what AI tools can do for compliance work, not just tolerant of them.

You can hold a hard conversation. The confidence and professionalism to push back on operational or product teams when their plan doesn't meet the standard.

You'll own calls where getting it wrong means regulatory exposure, not just an unhappy customer. You'll balance thoroughness against operational speed, and you'll need to defend a judgment call to people—internal teams, auditors, sometimes regulators—who weren't in the room when you made it.

But you'll build compliance that actually works at scale: consistent, defensible, and backed by tools that catch what manual review misses. You'll be the person other teams come to when a compliance question doesn't have an obvious answer.

If you want a checklist role, this isn't it. If you want ownership over real risk decisions, it might be.
