Requirements - Bachelor's degree in Law, Finance, Accounting, Business Administration or a related discipline. - Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in regulatory compliance, preferably within money service operators, remittance, payment services, banking or financial services. - Prior hands-on experience in successfully managing or materially contributing to a Hong Kong MSO Licence application is strongly preferred. - Strong understanding of the Hong Kong MSO licensing regime, AML/CTF regulations and regulatory expectations. - Experience in preparing regulatory submissions, compliance manuals, business plans and AML/CTF policies. - Proven ability to communicate directly with regulatory authorities and manage licensing-related enquiries. - Strong project management skills, attention to detail and the ability to work independently. - Excellent communication skills in English and Chinese (Mandarin and/or Cantonese).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
