About the Role
Own the compliance program for a fintech company supporting cross-border payments and digital-asset services. You will lead day-to-day operations and key risk decisions, helping the business serve clients and expand into new markets while managing risk responsibly.
What You'll Do
- Serve as the designated BSA/AML Officer and own compliance policies, procedures, and the risk model.
- Make and document final decisions on escalated onboarding, wallet-screening, and transaction-monitoring cases, including SAR decisions.
- Lead and mentor compliance analysts, and take ownership of their escalations.
- Work with the business to develop risk-based controls for complex clients and markets.
- Represent the compliance program in bank and payment-partner due diligence, requests for information, and audits.
- Oversee compliance workflows and tools, including AI-assisted processes used by analysts.
What We're Looking For
- Three to twelve years of relevant experience, including leadership of a compliance team and ownership of a full compliance program at a fintech, payments, or crypto company.
- Experience across compliance and crypto in the Americas, including US-Latin America cross-border trade and trade-based money-laundering risks.
- Practical experience developing BSA/AML policies and risk models, handling SAR filings and regulatory reporting, and managing KYC/KYB onboarding, wallet screening, and transaction monitoring.
- Knowledge of stablecoins, digital-asset compliance standards, and crypto exchange controls.
- Experience using Elliptic or Chainalysis for investigations or wallet screening, and coordinating audits and due diligence with banks or payment partners.
- Ability to make documented, risk-based decisions and identify appropriate controls for higher-risk cases and markets.
