• Coordinate the policy approval lifecycle and maintain a central policy register.
• Ensure documentation is clear, concise and aligned with internal and regulatory standards.

Compliance Controls & Monitoring

• Design, implement and maintain the compliance control framework (including preventive, detective and corrective controls).
• Operate and continuously improve monitoring programs (transactional and non-transactional) and run periodic control testing to validate effectiveness.

Risk Assessment & Remediation

• Perform compliance risk assessments when new products, processes or regulations are introduced or during periodic reviews.
• Identify control gaps and work with process owners to design and track remediation plans.
• Escalate material compliance risks to CFO and Executive Committee.

Regulatory & Reporting

• Keep abreast of relevant regulatory developments and assess their impact on business operations.

• Prepare and submit internal compliance reports and support regulatory filings or responses as required.
• Maintain the compliance register and document regulatory obligations and responsibilities.

Monitoring, Reviews & Investigations

• Coordinate internal investigations and prepare findings and recommendations.

Training & Awareness

• Design and deliver compliance training and awareness campaigns for employees and relevant third parties.
• Promote a risk-aware, compliance-first culture without unnecessary bureaucracy.
