The successful candidate will operate at the intersection of regulatory domain expertise and AI-powered intelligence solutions, translating complex compliance imperatives into scalable, technology-augmented service offerings.

You will define and execute SCIENTE's GRC go-to-market strategy, anchor key client engagements, and build a high-performing practice capable of delivering measurable outcomes across the financial crime and regulatory landscape.
