- Work directly with legal and compliance counsel to ensure regulatory filings meet jurisdictional standards.
- Liaise with regulators and external legal advisors to clarify and align requirements for cross-border settlements and stablecoin integration.
- Advise product, engineering, and operations teams on compliance implications of new features and guide them in adapting product flows accordingly.
- Identify and structure partnerships with banks, PSPs, stablecoin issuers, and payment networks that meet compliance and operational standards.
- Collaborate with internal teams to establish secure and auditable fund flow designs, including user KYC/KYB, transaction monitoring, and reporting processes.
- Design compliance-compatible solutions for cross-border payment settlement, including hybrid crypto-fiat systems.
- Develop region-specific compliance solutions, accounting for regulatory, banking, and FX environments in the EU, LATAM, and MENA regions.
- Support the creation of global policy templates and partner onboarding guidelines that ensure consistent compliance execution across jurisdictions.
What you bring

- Proven track record of building or scaling compliance frameworks for global payment solutions or financial institutions.
- Experience engaging with regulators and supporting license applications (EMI, PSP, SVF, CASP, MiCAR, etc.) across multiple jurisdictions.
- Strong understanding of fiat payment infrastructures, including card settlement, bank transfers, and e-money frameworks.
- Familiarity with crypto compliance frameworks, including VASP, stablecoin, and blockchain-based financial products.
- Hands-on experience designing payment fund flows, operational policies, and internal control systems.
- Deep knowledge of AML/CFT, KYC/KYB, transaction monitoring, and risk reporting requirements.
