We are seeking an experienced compliance professional to join our team and support compliance for our SaaS platform.
About the Position:
As Compliance Lead for the SaaS platform, you will be focused on leading and supporting compliance efforts with various regulatory regimes that apply to our SaaS business, including, but not limited to, economic sanctions, anti-bribery, and anti-corruption programs. In addition to these responsibilities, the Compliance Lead will conduct risk reviews of SaaS business customers and report findings to senior management. Risk reviews will encompass initial assessments of new SaaS licensees and ongoing reviews leveraging public information and blockchain analytics.
To be successful in this role, the candidate will need to work closely with internal and external stakeholders, including senior management, front line business leaders, and prospective SaaS licensees. Expertise in digital asset investigative processes, including customer due diligence and blockchain analysis, will be crucial in establishing and executing operations for this role. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment handling multiple ongoing projects that are delivered on time. We are looking for a candidate armed with a roll-up-your-sleeves mentality and forward-thinking approach that is eager to help across multiple verticals and advise business teams on global risks.
This position reports directly to the company's Senior Director of Compliance and will be an independent contributor initially. This role will be based in the US, with preference for candidates based near our NYC HQ; although qualified candidates from other locations are highly encouraged to apply.
Requirements: 5+ years of experience working in Web3 organizations with an intermediate familiarity of digital assets and their various use cases.
Substantial experience conducting investigations into digital asset activities, leveraging a blockchain analytics platform (e.g., Chainalysis, TRM, Elliptic).
Ability to contribute to the design of effective compliance controls for applicable regulatory regimes.
Growth mindset to tackle any problem and learn any skill that will support the evolution of the compliance programs.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including how to identify patterns of unusual or suspicious activity.
Excellent personal, political, analytical, and communications skills with a high attention to detail.
Excellent written work with a concise, direct style.
Preferred Qualifications
Although this role is with a non-regulated company, experience working with financial institutions in an investigative or customer monitoring capacity, especially within AML/CTF Compliance Programs, is a favorable attribute for this role.
Experience as a manager is helpful, but not required.
An advanced degree in finance, business, or law (e.g., Masters, Juris Doctor) can be substituted for some years of working experience.
Domain-specific certification(s), such as Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS), or blockchain analytics tool, e.g., Chainalysis Reactor Certificate.
This position is open to all candidates.
