CertiK, a leading Web3 security company founded in 2017 and backed by top-tier investors including Coatue, Goldman Sachs, Insight Partners, and Sequoia Capital, is seeking an experienced Director of AML & Virtual Asset Compliance. This role sits at the intersection of traditional financial regulation and blockchain innovation, requiring deep expertise in anti-money laundering, virtual asset compliance, and blockchain risk management.
You will serve as a senior subject matter expert and strategic leader, responsible for shaping and expanding CertiK's compliance capabilities across its global operations. Your responsibilities include designing and strengthening AML frameworks, advising financial institutions and virtual asset service providers (VASPs) on compliance best practices, engaging credibly with regulators and law enforcement agencies, and helping the company navigate the complex regulatory landscape of digital assets.
The ideal candidate brings practical, commercially minded compliance leadership with deep experience in both traditional financial institutions and VASPs. You understand the nuances of conventional transaction monitoring versus blockchain-based financial activity risks. You are equally comfortable reviewing complex financial crime cases, designing comprehensive AML programs, advising senior leadership on strategy, engaging with regulators, and explaining blockchain risk to banks, exchanges, and government stakeholders.
This is not a purely administrative compliance role. You view strong compliance programs, credible risk controls, and effective blockchain analytics as enablers of responsible business growth. You can operate fluidly across regulatory, financial crime prevention, blockchain analytics, and commercial strategy domains. Your expertise will help CertiK strengthen its position as a trusted security partner for thousands of enterprise clients and Web3 projects globally.
