Head of Compliance

TL;DR The next wave of stablecoin adoption is payments. We’re building a stablecoin clearinghouse to make stablecoins move like money, not a trading asset. We’re building for the long-term, and that means focusing on compliance from day one. Help us come build out and scale our program. About Us We believe stablecoins are better money and will be the backbone of better payments. We see key structural problems hindering stablecoin adoption, and we’re going to fix them – starting with building a clearinghouse. We’re a small, scrappy team based in NYC, we’ve raised $10M from a16z Crypto and other excellent partners, and we’re going to bring better money to the world. What You’ll Do - Build and manage our compliance program, including BSA/AML, KYC, and sanctions screening frameworks - Lead money transmitter license (MTL) applications at the state level - Develop, maintain, and operationalize compliance policies, procedures, and controls - Hire and build out the compliance team over time - The dishes. What We’re Looking For - You’ve been the head of compliance or CCO of a licensed money transmitter or bank. - You’ve led preparation and filing of MTL applications across multiple states. - Strong working knowledge of BSA/AML, KYC/KYB, OFAC, and state money transmission regulations. - Familiarity with stablecoin, crypto, or digital asset regulatory landscape is a plus. - You are creative and a problem solver.
