Senior Regulatory Reporting Officer

The challenge

Your job: own regulatory reporting obligations across Derivs global operations—where CRS and FATCA reporting errors create regulatory exposure, where CARF implementation is moving from preparation to live obligation faster than most organizations are ready, and where reporting accuracy determines whether we maintain licenses to operate.

Youll own the annual CRS and FATCA compliance cycle across multiple Deriv entities—from account classification and monitoring through remediation and submission to competent authorities. Youll lead CARF readiness and implementation across the entire Deriv group, building frameworks before deadlines hit. Youll also support EU trade reporting obligations and ensure all submissions pass regulatory and audit scrutiny.

This isnt data entry. Its technical regulatory reporting where accuracy, timeliness, and audit-readiness have direct consequences for the licenses the business depends on.

AI can automate data validation and flag anomalies. Only you can reconcile complex account data across seven entities, ensure classifications meet jurisdictional requirements, identify what needs remediation, and lead CARF implementation when most organizations are still figuring out what it means.

Why this matters

Deriv operates in 25+ jurisdictions serving millions of traders globally. CRS and FATCA sit at the intersection of regulatory standing and international tax transparency commitments. CARF represents the next major reporting obligation—getting ahead of it now is the difference between controlled implementation and reactive scramble.

Your reporting work determines whether we maintain licenses to operate, whether tax authorities and regulators trust our compliance function, and whether were ready when CARF obligations take effect.

Why Deriv

Youll own a specialist function thats genuinely rare. CRS, FATCA, and CARF expertise isnt widely held. Youll build depth across all three—with the added dimension of leading CARF implementation across a global group when most organizations are still catching up.

Youll use AI tools were building. Partner with engineers to automate data validation, account classification checks, and reporting workflows. Your hands-on experience with the data shapes what gets built.

Youll have real scope and visibility. Coordinating CRS/FATCA across multiple entities with different competent authorities, while leading group-wide CARF implementation, puts you at the center of a reporting function that matters to the whole business.

What youll do

• Own the annual CRS and FATCA compliance cycle for Derivs licensed entities. Handle account classification, self-certification management, ongoing monitoring, remediation, and submission to competent authorities. Maintain thorough documentation for audit-readiness.
• Lead CARF readiness and implementation across the Deriv group. Assess current position against CARF requirements, identify gaps, develop implementation roadmap, and build reporting frameworks. Act as the groups primary CARF expert.
• Monitor regulatory changes affecting CRS, FATCA, and CARF. Track updates from OECD and competent authorities, assess impact on reporting obligations, and update procedures proactively.
• Provide cross-team support for EU trade reporting under EMIR and MiFIR as required.

Who you are

• 5+ years in regulatory compliance with at least 3 years hands-on CRS and FATCA compliance experience in financial services. Youve managed the full reporting cycle. Depth and quality of experience matters.
• You have working knowledge of CARF or strong interest in building expertise ahead of implementation. Experience with crypto-asset reporting is valuable but not required.
• Youre technically strong with data. You work confidently with large, complex datasets, have strong Excel skills, and use Power Query or similar data tools. You spot errors before they become problems.
• You manage multiple deadlines effectively. You plan ahead, work methodically, and deliver accurate submissions on time across multiple reporting cycles.
• You communicate clearly across teams. You explain reporting requirements to non-specialists and extract needed information from stakeholders. Strong English.
• Youre comfortable with AI and automation. You use AI tools or youre ready to learn. You see technology as a way to do more accurate, efficient reporting work.
  
  
  

The honest reality

The stakes are high. Youll work across a multi-entity structure where data doesnt always arrive clean or on time. Youll need to be organized, technically precise, and comfortable with complexity. In return, youll build deep expertise across CRS, FATCA, and CARF—at a time when that knowledge is increasingly valued.

Location

Youll be based at our Dubai office in Business Bay, working with over 200 professionals from diverse backgrounds. Our culture is unique, and we live by our values and leadership principles, so its worth learning more about Derivs culture.
