About the role

We are seeking an accomplished Responsible Officer (RO) to help lead the launch of our securities business, from the Type 1 licence application through to ongoing supervision. You will work as a core part of the management team alongside the Executive Director and RO, taking primary responsibility for day-to-day supervision and ensuring securities operations comply with SFC regulations. This is a pivotal role for a professional who is both a meticulous compliance expert and a dedicated builder.

Key responsibilities

• Support the Type 1 application by developing operational procedures, supervision plans and evidence for SFC submissions and enquiries.

• Supervise customer introductions, solicitation and order handling within the permitted business scope; oversee licensed staff and customer communications.

• Operate controls for onboarding coordination, suitability where applicable, AML/CFT, conflicts, complaints and recordkeeping with compliance and the relevant teams.

• Monitor brokerage partner service and customer hand-offs, investigate exceptions and ensure responsibilities for execution, settlement and custody remain clear.

• Work with product and engineering teams to review app journeys and AI features, test controls before launch and address operational issues after release.

• Share supervisory coverage with the other RO, support regulatory enquiries and inspections, and drive incident escalation, staff training and corrective action.

Experience and qualifications

• Current or recent Type 1 RO experience is strongly preferred. Candidates demonstrably eligible for SFC approval will also be considered.

• Meet SFC RO competence requirements, normally including three years of relevant industry experience in the past six years and two years of management experience, subject to the applicable eligibility pathway.

• Hold relevant academic or professional qualifications and meet applicable Type 1 examination, training or exemption requirements.

• Bring hands-on experience supervising securities activities, staff or relevant financial-services projects, with the judgement to identify and resolve control weaknesses.

• Meet SFC fit-and-proper requirements and be able to supervise the proposed business independently. All licence conditions and external appointments must be disclosed.

• Be based in Hong Kong, with the availability to fulfil the role. Communicate clearly in English; Cantonese and Mandarin are advantageous.

Experience in digital brokerage, introducing or distribution businesses, partner integrations, SFC applications or inspections would be valuable.
