• Lead periodic reviews and quality assurance initiatives to uphold standards in documentation and process execution

• Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to optimize KYC systems and define requirements for onboarding tools and workflows

• Track regulatory developments in the crypto and digital assets space to ensure program alignment with industry expectations

• Contribute to global standardization efforts, driving operational consistency and efficiency across regions

What We’re Looking For:

• 7+ years of AML/KYC experience with a focus on complex corporate onboarding, including 2+ years in the digital assets or fintech space

• Strong understanding of blockchain technology and crypto-related risk typologies

• Exceptional investigative skills; ability to synthesize large sets of data and present concise, risk-based conclusions

• Operational mindset with a bias for execution—able to adapt quickly and continuously improve processes

• Proven track record working cross-functionally with legal, product, risk, and operations teams

• Familiarity with KYC platforms, screening tools, document repositories, and workflow solutions

• Professional certifications such as CAMS, CFCS, or CFE are a plus
