Elliptic is seeking a Senior Crypto Threat Analyst specializing in sanctions compliance and financial crime intelligence. In this role, you will serve as the subject matter expert (SME) on cryptoasset sanctions, owning end-to-end coverage of sanctioned entities, jurisdictions, and evasion typologies. You will translate deep domain expertise into high-quality analytical outputs, scalable monitoring processes, and clear communications that directly strengthen Elliptic's intelligence dataset—used by hundreds of financial institutions, exchanges, and government agencies to make defensible sanctions-compliance decisions.
Key responsibilities include: serving as the go-to expert on global sanctions regimes and resolving complex analytical questions independently; owning and documenting comprehensive coverage frameworks for global sanctions designation regimes; leading end-to-end investigations into cryptoasset exposure to sanctioned entities and evasion networks; defining and driving the evolution of Elliptic's sanctions monitoring operating model; proactively identifying and remediating coverage gaps; coaching and mentoring junior colleagues; collaborating with Product, Engineering, and Customer teams to translate sanctions intelligence into platform capabilities; producing written intelligence outputs (reports, briefings, blogs, whitepapers); and representing Elliptic's sanctions intelligence at industry events and regulatory engagements.
You will bring significant professional experience as an intelligence analyst, investigator, or compliance specialist in sanctions, financial crime, law enforcement, or crypto. You must demonstrate independent subject matter expertise in global sanctions regimes (OFAC, UK, EU, UN frameworks) and practical knowledge of operational distinctions between designating authorities. Experience designing or improving monitoring frameworks, triage processes, and investigation playbooks is essential. You should have a proven track record of identifying systemic coverage risks and driving durable remediation through process improvement and automation planning. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are required, with demonstrated ability to produce high-quality, stakeholder-ready outputs independently and to deadline.
Technical proficiency with blockchain analytics tools, open-source intelligence (OSINT), corporate registries, and adverse media sources is mandatory. AI fluency is essential—you must demonstrate the ability to effectively apply AI tools and approaches relevant to intelligence analysis, including using AI to accelerate research workflows, pattern identification, OSINT processing, and drafting written outputs. Bonus experience includes researching sanctions evasion typologies involving state-linked actors, procurement networks, critical technology supply chains, or high-risk financial intermediaries; automated sanctions list monitoring and detection logic design; and technical understanding of cryptoassets and blockchain architecture.
The company offers hybrid working with the option to work from almost anywhere for up to 90 days per year, a $650 remote work budget, and a $1,000 annual Learning & Development budget.
