Senior Compliance Manager (REIT)

The Company

Our client is a listed REIT with a global real estate footprint, operating a multi-entity group structure with a lean, high-performing team across Asia. This is a rare chance to take on a broad risk, compliance and governance remit with genuine board-level exposure — and to be a commercial adviser to leadership, not just a flagger of risk. Expect occasional out-of-hours calls across time zones and some international travel.

Responsibilities

• Compliance oversight — Advise on the regulatory framework for SGX-listed REITs (SFA, MAS regulations, SGX Listing Rules, Code of Corporate Governance); maintain compliance policies, registers and monitoring; report breaches; and run the annual compliance audit, fit-and-proper administration and staff training.
• Risk & internal controls — Maintain and refine the enterprise risk management framework and risk register; support internal control design and assessment; coordinate annual reviews with internal auditors and track remediation; and prepare periodic reporting to the Audit & Risk Committee and board.
• Legal — Work with external counsel on corporate, commercial and securities matters; review results presentations, investor communications and annual reports; support transactions, IP and litigation; and prepare regulatory applications.
• Company secretarial — Support Board, Committee and shareholder meetings (including the AGM); coordinate SGX announcements; and review cosec documents alongside the company secretary.

Requirements

• Degree in Law (LLB), Accounting or Business
• Minimally a few years of compliance experience within financial services; REIT, real estate or fund management exposure advantageous
• Sound working knowledge of the SFA and SGX listing compliance
• Commercially minded, with strong stakeholder-management skills and the confidence to partner with senior leadership
