Interim Chief Product and Compliance Officer — Regtech Filing

The mandate

A regulatory-content update mapped a reporting field incorrectly and generated defective submissions for several financial clients, prompting the product chief's dismissal. Client corrections are time-bound, while content, engineering and quality teams dispute who owns interpretation, implementation and release acceptance.

The interim must join within fourteen days and hold the combined product-compliance seat for a fixed ten-month window. Permanent recruitment starts after the rule-governance model is accepted, with six weeks reserved for transfer following two complete filing cycles.

Handover is complete when every affected submission is corrected or formally addressed, rule lineage is traceable from source to output, two filing cycles pass independent samples, client assurance is restored, and the successor approves one material regulatory update.

The interim may stop releases, prioritise remediation, require client notification and deploy ₹7 crore of recovery spend. Aggregate client compensation above ₹5 crore, acceptance of ambiguous high-impact interpretation, permanent leadership hiring, entry into new regulatory domains and platform replacement require CEO or committee approval.

Client compliance accountability, legal representation to regulators and general platform engineering are outside scope. The company must produce accurate technology and evidence without assuming the regulated institution's final filing responsibility.

Why this seat is open

The defect exposed a gap between regulatory interpretation and executable product rules. Existing leaders own different steps and cannot independently certify the chain they designed. A temporary combined product-compliance chief can repair the boundary before the roles are permanently configured.
