About the Role

We are in search of a seasoned compliance and financial crime expert to play a pivotal role in shaping and expanding our initiatives in anti-money laundering, virtual asset compliance, and blockchain risk management. This role necessitates understanding compliance across traditional financial institutions and virtual asset service providers.

Stay updated on regulatory changes and translate them into actionable compliance guidance and product specifications.

If applicable, act as MLRO or support the designated MLRO with suspicious activity reviews and regulatory reporting.

Collaborate with product development, engineering, business development teams, as well as regulators, law enforcement, and other industry affiliates.

Requirements

Previous experience as an MLRO, Chief Compliance Officer, Head of Financial Crime, or in a similar senior compliance capacity.

Demonstrated expertise in AML, financial crime, sanctions, transaction monitoring, regulatory compliance and reporting, and virtual asset financial crime risks.

Hands-on practice with blockchain analytics, KYT, wallet screening, or similar on-chain compliance tools.

Strong communication skills and possession of CAMS or equivalent AML certification.

Experience managing the AML program of a regulated entity, VASP licensing, regulatory examinations, or remediation.
