Job Summary
Responsibilities
📍Regulatory leadership and governance 📍Own the compliance agenda end-to-end: readiness for VARA expectations, ongoing supervision, and scalable controls as volumes grow. 📍Operate as VARA’s day-to-day interface, with the CEO still expected to demonstrate clear judgement and credibility during regulator engagement. 📍Stakeholder management 📍Establish credibility with VARA early; preference for leaders with prior UAE regulatory engagement—an existing relationship materially de-risks the set-up. 📍Act as connective tissue between Dubai market realities and Coins.ph leadership, keeping the build aligned to international expansion priorities. 📍Leadership expectations 📍Builder mentality: hands-on, comfortable with ambiguity, able to create momentum fast from a standing start. 📍Commercial + compliance maturity: move fast, but never at the expense of regulatory credibility and control integrity.
