About the role

This role will also serve as the firm's board-appointed BSA Officer, with full accountability for compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act and related regulatory obligations.
The role will also dual-hat as the firm's OFAC Sanctions Compliance Officer, responsible for administering the firm's Sanctions Compliance Program.
Where fraud serves as a predicate offense for FCC-related risks, the Head of FCC will also be responsible for factoring in fraud and payments-related risk into the broader FCC control framework.

Reporting to the General Counsel, this is a senior role for a seasoned leader who can roll up their sleeves and design the program, set policy, manage regulatory engagement, and build processes and tooling while we scale.
Design, implement, and continuously improve a risk-based BSA/AML and Sanctions Compliance Program (policies, standards, procedures, governance, testing, training).
Maintain an FCC program implementation plan to support timely program enablement.
Partner with Product, Engineering, and Operations teams on FCC-related tooling requirements to support process excellence.
Own KYC/KYB, CDD/EDD, transaction monitoring, case management, SAR/STR processes, OFAC screening, list management, and reporting requirements.
Support licensing strategy, including MSB registration, MTL roadmap, evaluation and management of FX/crypto-specific requirements and passporting implications, in partnership with Legal, Ops, and outside counsel.
Build and mentor a lean compliance team responsible for day-to-day program execution.
Embed compliance-by-design across product, engineering, and go-to-market; run impact assessments for new features and geographies.
We support your:

8-10 years of progressive experience in BSA/AML and sanctions compliance, with in-house leadership at a payments and/or crypto company (or equivalent).
Demonstrated expertise in cross-border payments (e.g., corridors, fiat/crypto touchpoints, correspondent banking, remittance).
Proven track record in regulatory remediation and/or greenfield program development (policies, controls, governance, testing).
Deep knowledge of applicable U.S. and international requirements (e.g., BSA, OFAC, FATF, travel rule regimes, licensing frameworks).
Experience with MSB/MTL licensing, e-money regulations, PSPs, VASP frameworks, and cross-jurisdictional compliance.
Experience with FCC model risk governance (alerting thresholds, segmentation, tuning, back-testing) and data quality controls.
Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States.

The base salary range for this role is $200,000 - $250,000, commensurate with experience.
Conduct the annual FCC-risk assessment covering BSA/AML and Sanctions.
