Coinbase is seeking an AMLCO & Senior Compliance Associate to lead Financial Crime Compliance (AML/CFT) for its Cyprus MiFID entity. This hybrid role (remote 4 days/week, in-office Wednesdays) combines formal Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Officer (AMLCO) responsibilities with hands-on second-line oversight of the broader compliance program, working closely with the Head of Compliance.
Key responsibilities include owning all AMLCO deliverables such as the Annual AMLCO Report, AML Risk Assessment, and periodic financial crime compliance reporting to senior management and the Board. You will lead second-line monitoring and testing across AML/CFT and conduct/compliance areas, documenting findings and remediation actions for internal governance. The role requires driving regulatory engagement with CySEC, the Financial Intelligence Unit, and competent authorities, coordinating responses to information requests, inspections, and thematic reviews.
You will partner with first-line teams to assess the effectiveness of onboarding, KYC/EDD, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and STR/SAR reporting controls, escalating gaps and driving remediation. Building and maintaining local compliance and AML/CFT policies, procedures, and frameworks aligned with EU/Cyprus requirements (MiFID II, AMLD, MiCA) and group-level standards is essential. Additionally, you will support the Head of Compliance with day-to-day oversight, governance preparation, and key projects, serving as deputy during absences.
Required qualifications include 4–6 years in compliance roles within Cyprus-regulated financial services with direct AML/CFT and MiFID investment services exposure, including at least 2 years in senior-level positions. CySEC Advanced and CySEC AML certifications are mandatory. Demonstrated experience preparing AMLCO deliverables and executing second-line monitoring/testing programs is required. You must have a proven track record engaging with CySEC, the FIU, or external auditors through inspections, thematic reviews, or regulatory reporting cycles. Hands-on experience drafting compliance policies and operating or overseeing AML/CFT frameworks within EU-regulated entities is essential. Fluency in English is required; Greek language proficiency is a strong plus. The ideal candidate utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.
