As Senior Compliance Manager for OKXICE TSV at OKX, you own compliance for a tokenized securities venue run by OKX and Intercontinental Exchange under the SEC's Innovation Exemption. This venue lets eligible US users trade tokenized US-listed stocks on-chain. You'll be the main person accountable for meeting the exemption's ongoing conditions, working closely with Legal, Product, Web3 Risk Control, and the AML, Sanctions and Surveillance teams. This is a new role on a new type of venue, so you'll help build the program as well as run it.
What you'll do

- Run the issuer notice process from start to finish, including tracking delivery, handling objections and confirming each stock's listing date
- Track and monitor TSV limits on an ongoing basis, including per-stock and volume limits against consolidated market data, periodic tier rechecks, trading halts and eligible stablecoins, and escalate breaches, significant operational events and required SEC notifications
- Oversee participant onboarding and ongoing wallet maintenance and monitoring, including KYC/KYB, daily sanctions and on-chain wallet rescreening, keeping wallet-to-participant records current, and issuing and revoking the soulbound token (SBT) credential that grants access
- Report to the OKXICE LLC Board of Managers and to Americas Compliance leadership, and manage and develop a TSV Compliance Analyst
What you bring
- 8+ years of compliance experience at a broker-dealer, exchange, alternative trading system (ATS) or digital asset firm, with direct experience of SEC-regulated activity
- Working knowledge of federal securities laws that apply to trading venues, such as Regulation ATS, Regulation NMS and market manipulation rules, plus the ability to apply them to new market structures
- Experience building or running compliance programs under regulatory conditions, exemptive relief or no-action positions
- Familiarity with how blockchain-based trading works, including self-custodied wallets, smart contracts, liquidity pools and on-chain screening
- Strong drafting skills, with experience turning complex technical or legal detail into clear public disclosures and procedures
- Sound judgment and the ability to work with Product, Engineering and Legal teams across time zones
Nice to have
- Experience with tokenized securities, transfer agents or digital asset broker-dealers
- Exposure to OFAC sanctions programs and blocked property handling for on-chain assets
- Experience reporting to a board or joint venture governance body
- A JD or a similar legal background
