• Strong understanding of crypto-specific risks, including wallets, custody, transaction flows, Travel Rule and high-risk jurisdictions.

• Experience working with banks, payment providers and other regulated counterparties.

• High ownership and autonomy in shaping the compliance function, frameworks, priorities and ways of working.
