• Prepare and submit clear, well-supported Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and respond to internal and external regulatory inquiries.

• Collaborate with internal stakeholders, including compliance, legal, risk, and first-line business units, to address crypto-related financial crime risks.

• Stay current on evolving regulatory standards (e.g., FATF Travel Rule, FinCEN guidance, BSA/AML) and ensure compliance with both U.S. and global expectations.

• Utilize blockchain forensics tools (e.g., Chainalysis, CipherTrace, Elliptic) to conduct investigations and provide actionable intelligence.

• Draft high-quality investigative reports, documentation, and risk mitigation recommendations for internal stakeholders and regulators.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree or relevant certification (e.g., CAMS, CFE) preferred.

• 8+ years of experience in financial crime compliance or investigations, preferably in a financial institution, crypto exchange, or consulting environment.

• In-depth knowledge of AML, KYC, CFT, and sanctions compliance practices, with direct experience in high-risk customer reviews.

• Expertise in crypto/blockchain investigations and the use of blockchain analytics tools (e.g., Chainalysis, CipherTrace, Elliptic).

• Understanding of crypto regulatory frameworks, including U.S. and global requirements (FATF, FinCEN, SEC).
