  • Prepare documentation and applications for submission to supervisory authorities and follow up on feedback or requests.

  • Serve as a point of contact with regulators, central banks, and external legal or compliance consultants.

  • Monitor changes in regulatory frameworks (MiCA, AMLD6, DORA, GDPR, FATF, EBA/ESMA) and ensure internal policies remain aligned.

  • Support the preparation of licensing packages, policies, procedures, and governance documentation.

  • Assist with internal and external audits, inspections, and regulatory reviews.

  • Collaborate with Compliance, Legal, Risk, and Finance teams to align processes and ensure timely and compliant submissions.

  • Maintain the company's register of licenses and oversee renewals, fit & proper assessments, and regulatory reporting obligations.

  • Support communication with management and the board by preparing summaries and updates on licensing progress and key risks.

Requirements

  • 5 years of experience in compliance, AML, or regulatory affairs within fintech, payments, or crypto.

  • Involvement in licensing processes under MiCA or national VASP regimes within at least one EU jurisdiction - highly preferable. 

  • Experience with jurisdictions such as Canada (MSB), the United States, Australia, and Brazil is a strong plus.

  • Strong understanding of European regulatory requirements and experience interacting with supervisory authorities.

  • Solid knowledge of AML/CTF frameworks and regulatory compliance.

  • Legal background or degree preferred.

  • Excellent command of English and Russian (both required).

What We Offer

  • Opportunity to play a key role in the company's European licensing expansion.

  • Exposure to complex international regulatory projects, including MiCA implementation.

  • Dynamic and collaborative work environment in a rapidly growing crypto fintech.
