  • Support licensing and registration processes, including MiCA CASP submissions, VASP registrations, and MSB filings.

  • Serve as a key point of contact during regulatory inspections, external audits, and AML program assessments.

  • Collaborate closely with Legal, Risk, and Product teams to assess AML risks associated with new products, markets, and business models.

  • Contribute to training initiatives and promote awareness of financial crime compliance across internal teams.

  • Track and analyze regulatory developments and crypto-related risk typologies, ensuring the internal framework remains up to date.

Requirements

  • Minimum 5 years of experience in AML or compliance, including at least 2 years in crypto, fintech, or payments.

  • In-depth understanding of AMLD5/6, MiCA, FATF, and BSA/FinCEN frameworks.

  • Proven experience with VASP or similar regulatory licensing processes in at least one EU jurisdiction.

  • Practical knowledge of blockchain analytics, risk scoring models, wallet attribution, and typology identification.

  • Skilled in drafting and maintaining AML documentation — policies, risk assessments, and internal procedures.

  • Excellent command of written and spoken English.

  • CAMS, ICA, CGSS, or other recognized AML/CTF certifications will be considered a strong advantage.
