We are looking for a KYC Senior Lead to own the end-to-end operational integrity of our Know Your Customer, Enhanced Due Diligence, and Ongoing Due Diligence programs.
This role sits at the heart of 's first line of defence. You will be the operational owner of KYC, EDD, and ODD delivery, responsible for the quality of work produced by our outsourced review teams, the accuracy and timeliness of our processes, and our readiness for internal and external audits. The expanded scope across EDD and ODD reflects the increased complexity and regulatory exposure this role carries.

This role requires someone who understands regulatory KYC requirements in a regulated crypto environment, can hold a high bar for outsourced team quality without managing them directly, and communicates process changes and operational risks with precision.
