We are looking for an experienced compliance leader to help shape and expand our work across anti money laundering, virtual asset compliance, and blockchain risk management.
This role is designed for someone who can bridge the gap between traditional finance compliance officers and crypto AML product development, with a strong focus on client-facing product discovery.
You will serve as a senior subject matter expert on AML and virtual asset compliance, working directly with financial institutions and VASPs to understand their compliance workflows and needs, translate those needs into actionable product requirements, and help strengthen CertiK’s compliance capabilities and products.
You are a practical and commercially minded compliance leader with deep experience in AML, financial crime, and virtual assets.
You have direct experience as a compliance officer, MLRO, or equivalent within a financial institution and understand how traditional finance compliance teams operate. You are comfortable sitting with clients to understand their workflows, pain points, and product needs, and can move from “client said this” to prioritized, actionable product requirements that product and engineering teams can execute.
