The challenge
Your job: own regulatory reporting obligations across Deriv's global operations—where CRS and FATCA reporting errors create regulatory exposure, where CARF implementation is moving from preparation to live obligation faster than most organizations are ready, and where reporting accuracy determines whether we maintain licenses to operate.
You'll own the annual CRS and FATCA compliance cycle across multiple Deriv entities—from account classification and monitoring through remediation and submission to competent authorities. You'll lead CARF readiness and implementation across the entire Deriv group, building frameworks before deadlines hit. You'll also support EU trade reporting obligations and ensure all submissions pass regulatory and audit scrutiny.
This isn't data entry. It's technical regulatory reporting where accuracy, timeliness, and audit-readiness have direct consequences for the licenses the business depends on.
AI can automate data validation and flag anomalies. Only you can reconcile complex account data across seven entities, ensure classifications meet jurisdictional requirements, identify what needs remediation, and lead CARF implementation when most organizations are still figuring out what it means.
Why this matters
Deriv operates in 25+ jurisdictions serving millions of traders globally. CRS and FATCA sit at the intersection of regulatory standing and international tax transparency commitments. CARF represents the next major reporting obligation—getting ahead of it now is the difference between controlled implementation and reactive scramble.
Your reporting work determines whether we maintain licenses to operate, whether tax authorities and regulators trust our compliance function, and whether we're ready when CARF obligations take effect.
Why Deriv
- You'll own a specialist function that's genuinely rare. CRS, FATCA, and CARF expertise isn't widely held. You'll build depth across all three—with the added dimension of leading CARF implementation across a global group when most organizations are still catching up.
- You'll use AI tools we're building. Partner with engineers to automate data validation, account classification checks, and reporting workflows. Your hands-on experience with the data shapes what gets built.
- You'll have real scope and visibility. Coordinating CRS/FATCA across multiple entities with different competent authorities, while leading group-wide CARF implementation, puts you at the center of a reporting function that matters to the whole business.
What you'll do
- Own the annual CRS and FATCA compliance cycle for Deriv's licensed entities. Handle account classification, self-certification management, ongoing monitoring, remediation, and submission to competent authorities. Maintain thorough documentation for audit-readiness.
- Lead CARF readiness and implementation across the Deriv group. Assess current position against CARF requirements, identify gaps, develop implementation roadmap, and build reporting frameworks. Act as the group's primary CARF expert.
- Monitor regulatory changes affecting CRS, FATCA, and CARF. Track updates from OECD and competent authorities, assess impact on reporting obligations, and update procedures proactively.
- Provide cross-team support for EU trade reporting under EMIR and MiFIR as required.
- Conduct quality assurance reviews and collaborate across departments (finance, operations, technology, compliance) to collect, validate, and reconcile regulatory data before submissions.
Partner with engineers to build AI automation for reporting workflows. Support interactions with competent authorities and external auditors during reviews.

Who you are
- 5+ years in regulatory compliance with at least 3 years hands-on CRS and FATCA compliance experience in financial services. You've managed the full reporting cycle. Depth and quality of experience matters.
- You have working knowledge of CARF or strong interest in building expertise ahead of implementation. Experience with crypto-asset reporting is valuable but not required.
- You're technically strong with data. You work confidently with large, complex datasets, have strong Excel skills, and use Power Query or similar data tools. You spot errors before they become problems.
- You manage multiple deadlines effectively. You plan ahead, work methodically, and deliver accurate submissions on time across multiple reporting cycles.
- You communicate clearly across teams. You explain reporting requirements to non-specialists and extract needed information from stakeholders. Strong English.
You're comfortable with AI and automation. You use AI tools or you're ready to learn. You see technology as a way to do more accurate, efficient reporting work.

The honest reality
The stakes are high. You'll work across a multi-entity structure where data doesn't always arrive clean or on time. You'll need to be organized, technically precise, and comfortable with complexity. In return, you'll build deep expertise across CRS, FATCA, and CARF—at a time when that knowledge is increasingly valued.
Location
You'll be based in the Cayman Islands, part of Deriv's global compliance operations. Work on crypto licensing and CFD regulation for a fintech serving millions of traders worldwide—from an island with white sand beaches, a thriving expat community, and tax-free living.
Our culture is unique, and we live by our values and leadership principles, so it's worth learning more about Deriv's culture.
