About the role
Trust in crypto starts with doing things properly. As our Compliance Officer you will make sure Aethel meets the rules in every market we serve, and that those rules are built into the product instead of bolted on afterwards. This is a 12-month contract with the option to extend, based in Singapore with two office days a week. You will work alongside our legal counsel and the security team, and you will be the person product managers call when they are unsure whether an idea is allowed.
In your first months you will review our current policies, map the requirements in each market we serve and agree on priorities with the leadership team. You will also prepare the groundwork for two new license applications and set up a simple process that lets product teams ask compliance questions early.
Responsibilities
- Own our anti-money-laundering and know-your-customer policies and keep them current.
- Review new features, campaigns and partners for regulatory risk before launch.
- Prepare license applications and answer questions from regulators.
- Monitor transaction reports and coordinate investigations with the security team.
- Train every team on what the rules mean for their daily work.
Requirements
- Five or more years in compliance at a bank, payment company or crypto business.
- Solid knowledge of AML, sanctions and travel rule requirements.
- Experience working with regulators in Asia, ideally under Singapore's licensing framework.
- The ability to explain complex rules simply and practically.
Nice to have
- A recognized anti-money-laundering certification.
- Experience with blockchain analytics tools.
- Knowledge of crypto-asset licensing in Europe.
