• • Deputise for the Head of Compliance & Risk when necessary
  • Assist in all day to day Compliance duties including Compliance Monitoring and advising on trade deals

  • Developing a framework of Key Risk Indicators covering all risk types to enable the monitoring of the risk profile and exposures of the Firm and reporting on findings and exceptions to senior management as appropriate depending on their significance;

You should have at least 5 years Compliance experience including monitoring across Equities & Fixed Income supporting Institutional clients, some of which MUST have been with a UK sell side firm (Broker Dealer/Brokerage, Investment Bank or Securities Trading Firm), even if already moved to the UAE. You should also be willing to quickly pick any required areas of Risk not already familiar with.

Although the main office are in Abu Dhabi the firm operates a 3d pw hybrid policy so it would be easy to live in Dubai and commute on those days (around one hour from south of Dubai) whilst benefits include tax-free salary (worth up to £140K UK gross), discretionary bonus, housing allowance, private medical, full relocation package and annual family return flights to the UK.

NB We have been recruiting in the UAE since 2005 whilst I have visited both Abu Dhabi & Dubai many times, so very happy to discuss lifestyle including cost of living with suitable applicants (and explain the onshore/offshore regulatory structures if not yet familiar with).
