About the Role
~1 min readWe are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Compliance Officer to join the regulatory and compliance team of our auto-financing platform. As a SAMA-regulated fintech, compliance is central to everything we do — and this role sits right at the heart of it.
This is a hands-on position suited for an early-career compliance professional who is eager to grow within a fast-moving fintech environment. You will support the implementation and day-to-day operation of our compliance frameworks, working closely with the CCO and cross-functional teams. We value attitude and cultural fit as much as technical expertise — we want someone who is curious, proactive, and genuinely committed to doing things the right way.
-
Assist in managing compliance obligations across AML, KYC, consumer protection, and Fair Credit Terms aligned to SAMA frameworks.
-
Support the preparation of regulatory submissions, examination responses, and licensing milestone documentation.
-
Monitor regulatory updates from SAMA and assist in translating changes into internal policy adjustments.
-
Help ensure credit products, marketing materials, and customer communications meet regulatory standards prior to launch.
-
Maintain and update compliance policies, procedures, and control documentation under the guidance of the CCO.
-
Support the compliance risk register, control matrices, and exception tracking workflows.
-
Contribute to the company’s AML/CFT programme, including transaction monitoring, suspicious activity reporting, and sanctions screening processes.
-
Assist in ensuring all lending products adhere to SAMA’s consumer protection and Fair Credit Terms requirements.
-
Support the complaint management and resolution process in line with SAMA standards.
-
Review customer-facing disclosures, contracts, and fee structures for regulatory accuracy.
-
Embed compliance controls into day-to-day operations and product workflows with guidance from the CCO.
-
Deliver compliance training and awareness sessions for internal teams.
-
Provide first-level compliance advisory support to business lines on new products, campaigns, and partnerships.
-
Assist the CISO on data protection obligations under Saudi data governance regulations.
-
3–5 years of experience in compliance, regulatory affairs, or a related role within financial services, fintech, or banking.
-
Foundational understanding of SAMA’s regulatory framework, including AML/KYC, consumer lending, and data governance requirements.
-
Saudi national — required.
-
Full professional fluency in both Arabic and English is mandatory for this role.
-
Strong attention to detail, organisational skills, and a proactive work ethic.

Takes ownership and follows through without being chased.
