Head of Regulatory Change & Policy

As Head of Regulatory Change & Policy at OKX, you own and drive the regulatory change agenda globally. You bring vision, strategic judgment, and execution capability, translating a complex, fast-moving regulatory landscape into clear strategy that protects and enables the business. You operate across multiple dimensions simultaneously: understanding OKX's product landscape deeply to assess regulatory impact, engaging credibly with regulators and industry bodies, and building internal alignment across legal, risk, and local compliance teams. You build and lead a team, establishing the processes and judgment that junior team members will execute against over time.

What you'll do

• Own Compliance's regulatory change log, assess the implications and business impact of evolving regulatory requirements on OKX's product landscape, and partner with the Change Management team to ensure regulatory change is translated into business-ready action and the relevant policy framework is put in place
• In coordination with internal Risk and Compliance stakeholders, manage, oversee and maintain a global regulatory obligations mapping and horizon scanning capability
• Support local Compliance teams, where required, with building and maintaining relationships with regulators and policymakers and in representing OKX in industry consultations and regulatory engagement efforts to ensure aligned positions across jurisdictions
• Build out the Regulatory Change function, with the potential to add one compliance analyst within the first six months, subject to the function demonstrating measurable output and business value
• Set the operating model, priorities, and quality bar for the function
• Coach and develop team members as the function scales from strategy design into steady-state execution
• Build strong, trusted working relationships with Legal, Risk, and local Compliance teams across regions

What you bring

• At least 10+ years of significant experience in regulatory change, regulatory affairs, or a comparable senior compliance or policy role, ideally within crypto, fintech, or another heavily regulated financial sector
• Demonstrated experience building or significantly reshaping a regulatory change function, not just operating within an existing one
• Global exposure to crypto-specific regulation, with working knowledge of multiple regulatory regimes
• A track record of influencing senior internal stakeholders (Legal, Risk, Compliance) without formal authority over them
• Experience building and leading a team, including hiring and developing junior talent
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfort operating at executive level internally and externally
• A pragmatic, execution-oriented mindset, able to move from strategic vision to operational detail

What we offer

• Competitive total compensation package
• Learning and development programs and education subsidy for your growth and development
• Various team building programs and company events
