  • Training & Culture

  • Develop and deliver comprehensive compliance training programs to employees at all levels, fostering a strong culture of compliance throughout the organization.
  • Keep the executive team and board informed of compliance obligations, emerging risks, and the overall health of the compliance program.
  • Vendor & Partner Due Diligence

  • Conduct compliance due diligence on third‑party partners, payment processors, and technology vendors to ensure they meet regulatory standards.

  • Proven experience in dealing directly with SAMA and managing regulatory relationships.
  • Professional certification in compliance (e.g., CAMS – Certified Anti‑Money Laundering Specialist, ICA Diploma in Compliance).
  • Fluency in both English and Arabic is essential.
