Required qualifications include 5–10 years of financial compliance, legal, or regulatory experience with dedicated exposure to derivatives products. Candidates should have institutional background working within US-headquartered broker-dealers, crypto platforms, asset managers, or law firms managing offshore Cayman structures. Solid understanding of institutional digital asset market structure, execution flows, and custody models is essential. ACAMS, ICA, or equivalent compliance credentials are preferred. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with experience drafting regulatory responses and board-level presentations, are critical.
