Description
What you'll do
- •Own the end-to-end AML/CTF operating model: CDD/EDD, transaction monitoring, investigations, SAR/STR governance, sanctions screening, quality and decision control.
- •Build and scale a global compliance organisation, including management layers as the team grows.
- •Own the second line of defence (advisory, governance, quality, decision calibration) and design how it works with first-line operational teams.
- •Review and modernise existing compliance processes, moving away from legacy and over-restrictive approaches.
- •Drive compliance automation: work with Product and Engineering to translate regulatory requirements into tooling, configurations, workflows, and scalable automated solutions.
- •Own the compliance tooling roadmap, including rules tuning, alert quality, case management, and efficiency improvements.
- •Define and track operational KPIs (cycle time, quality, false positives, consistency of decisions, etc).
- •Drive a pragmatic, risk-based approach that balances regulatory expectations, user experience, and operational efficiency.
- •Act as (or grow into) a key contact for regulators, auditors, and external stakeholders.
Requirements
- •Strong background in crypto, digital assets, or modern regulated fintech.
- •Hands-on experience with AML/CTF operations (transaction monitoring, investigations, EDD/CDD, SAR/STR workflows).
- •Practical understanding of compliance tooling and automation (rules tuning, case management, quality frameworks).
- •Experience working with or contributing to AI-driven or data-driven compliance solutions (e.g. improving alert quality, prioritisation, investigation efficiency).
- •Solid knowledge of crypto-specific risks, including blockchain analytics and sanctions in crypto.
- •Experience working with or owning second line of defence / governance / quality control.
- •Ability to clearly explain compliance requirements to product and engineering teams.
- •Pragmatic mindset: focused on risk, efficiency, and outcomes — not over-reporting or unnecessary blocking.
