As Compliance Officer you own the compliance function. You are our primary point of contact with supervisors, you keep the MiCAR licence in good standing, and you advise the board on our regulatory perimeter as the business grows into new services and authorisations. You also lead the second line day to day. You oversee the first-line CDD team, act as final review on escalated cases, and own the reporting obligations that come with a licensed crypto-asset service provider. Alongside that, you work closely with our product and engineering teams, who build the onboarding, monitoring and custody software you rely on. Several of our processes are still being built. The expectation is that you help build them. Act as the company's primary point of contact with supervisors: AFM, DNB and others.

Maintain company policies and procedures, and make sure they are current and applied throughout the organisation. Advise product and engineering teams on compliance-related software, including customer onboarding and review flows, transfer services and custody arrangements. Maintain the compliance monitoring and testing programme, and track remediation of findings from audits and supervisory reviews.
