Oversight of licensing, AML/KYC programs, risk frameworks, and internal audit functions
Ongoing engagement with external counsel, regulators, auditors, and banking/payment partners
Leadership of a growing compliance and legal team across time zones
Acting as a trusted advisor to the Board and C-Suite on all regulatory matters

🧠 Who You Are

Must-have: Deep, hands-on experience with US regulations (SEC, FinCEN, OCC, etc.)
Experience in payments, banking, or fintech environments highly desirable
Crypto experience is a bonus — not a requirement
Proven ability to navigate cross-border regulation, with a global mindset and local expertise
Strong executive presence, able to influence internally and externally at the highest levels
