• Proactively partner with Kalshi and other prediction market venues, stablecoin/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 this 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/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

What you bring

• Bachelor's degree (J.D. or other advanced degree a plus)
• 12+ years of compliance, legal, regulatory, or financial services experience, including at least 5+ years focused directly on futures/derivatives (FCM) compliance and/or stablecoin, tokenization, or digital asset regulatory compliance
• Deep understanding of CFTC and NFA rules governing futures commission merchants, prediction and event contract markets, and derivatives clearing, along with direct, hands-on experience with stablecoin issuance, tokenization, digital asset custody, and related regulatory frameworks (including the GENIUS Act, OCC guidance, and state money transmitter licensing)
• Comfort partnering closely with the firm's Financial Crimes team on BSA/AML and Travel Rule matters as they apply to these products
• Series 3 (National Commodity Futures Examination) required; Series 30 (NFA Branch Manager) strongly preferred; FINRA Series 7 and 24 and NFA Swaps Proficiency Requirements (Swaps Certificate) are a plus

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills to interface with all levels of management and build effective relationships
• Currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis without the need for visa sponsorship
