VP, FCM, Tokenization & Stablecoin Compliance Officer

As VP, FCM, Tokenization & Stablecoin Compliance Officer at DriveWealth, you lead the compliance program supporting the firm's expansion into futures commission merchant (FCM) registration, event-based prediction markets, and stablecoin and tokenization initiatives. Reporting to the Chief Compliance Officer, you build and scale a compliance function navigating complex CFTC and NFA rules, prediction market frameworks (including the firm's relationship with Kalshi), and stablecoin regulatory regimes across multiple jurisdictions. This is a build role for a leader with hands-on experience standing up compliant, scalable programs in digital assets and derivatives.

What you'll do

• Build and lead the compliance function supporting DriveWealth's FCM registration, NFA membership, and stablecoin/tokenization initiatives, hiring and developing staff as the business scales.
• Manage and prioritize team workloads across FCM, prediction market, and stablecoin/tokenization workstreams to meet multiple projects and regulatory deadlines simultaneously.
• Review and approve detailed reports and surveillance investigations covering prediction market trading activity and stablecoin/tokenized asset transactions to ensure accurate summarization of issues and logical solutions.
• Advise business units on CFTC, NFA, and applicable state and federal digital asset regulatory obligations tied to prediction markets and stablecoins, as well as new rule proposals and firm policies.
• Design, implement, and maintain effective compliance frameworks aligned with CFTC, NFA, state money transmitter and stablecoin regulatory regimes such as the GENIUS Act, and other regulatory obligations.
• Oversee the development and maintenance of Written Supervisory Procedures (WSPs) for FCM operations and internal policies governing stablecoin reserves, redemption mechanics, and tokenized asset custody.
• Proactively partner with Kalshi and other prediction market venues, stablecoin and tokenization technology partners, the firm's Financial Crimes team, business management, risk, and technology to ensure sound business operations.
• Perform Level 2 compliance reviews of prediction market and stablecoin/tokenization activity in the early stages of the role, transitioning to a supervisory capacity as the team is built out.
• Enhance surveillance and monitoring frameworks covering event contract trading patterns and stablecoin transaction activity by refining detection logic and identifying patterns in large trade and transaction datasets, partnering with the firm's Financial Crimes team on BSA/AML and Travel Rule monitoring.
• Develop and analyze data for Compliance management reports, including FCM financial and segregation reporting and stablecoin reserve attestations, and provide periodic status updates on key issues.
• Lead the firm's response to regulatory exams and inquiries from the CFTC, NFA, state money transmitter regulators, and other applicable authorities related to FCM and stablecoin/tokenization activities.
• Coordinate the collection of documentation and ensure timely follow-up for all regulatory inquiries.
