Head of AML

Head of AML / MLRO Opportunities | Singapore

We’re exclusively partnering with two highly regarded financial services organisations to appoint senior AML leaders in Singapore.

Both businesses operate in regulated financial services and digital assets, offering rare opportunities to shape financial crime frameworks in organisations experiencing significant growth.

Opportunity 1 – Build from Day One

Join a newly established Web3 business as a founding AML leader. This is a genuine greenfield opportunity to design the AML operating model, work alongside product and engineering teams, and help build compliant digital asset products from inception.

Ideal for candidates who enjoy creating new frameworks, thrive in fast-moving environments, and have an interest in blockchain, digital assets and emerging regulation.

Opportunity 2 – Lead an Established AML Function

Take ownership of the financial crime programme for a regulated financial institution, serving as the appointed MLRO while leading AML, sanctions, KYC, investigations and regulatory engagement across the Singapore business.

Ideal for experienced MLROs seeking greater strategic influence, leadership responsibility and board-level exposure.

We’re interested in speaking with professionals who have experience in:

• AML, financial crime or regulatory compliance leadership
• MLRO or Deputy MLRO responsibilities
• MAS AML/CFT regulations
• Payment institutions, banks, capital markets, fintech or digital asset businesses
• Regulatory engagement and financial crime governance

Why explore these opportunities?

• Senior leadership positions
• High visibility with executive leadership
• Direct engagement with MAS and key stakeholders
• Opportunities to shape business strategy, not just compliance
• Competitive compensation and long-term career growth
