<div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-OFoOdPflCorA4fxQZ9HlwKnTgTf">The Compliance function at OKX is responsible for the overall compliance culture at the company. We’re a team of risk-minded problem solvers who advise the business on the company’s regulatory obligations and enterprise risk.</div>
<h3 class="heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-YtgPducjlo2nRpxdjVulB0fdgxh"><strong>What You'll Be Doing</strong></h3>
<ul class="list-bullet1">
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-M7G8dtgQIoQJUtxqNoDliXlwgqh" data-list="bullet">
<div><strong>Program Ownership & Governance</strong>: Design, implement, and continuously mature a global financial crimes compliance program encompassing AML, CFT, sanctions, fraud, and anti-bribery/corruption (ABC). Own the program's risk appetite framework and ensure it is calibrated to the firm's business model, customer base, and geographic footprint.</div>
</li>
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-VIxydAYcuomnBhxmvbglM4n9gjb" data-list="bullet">
<div><strong>Transaction Monitoring</strong>: Direct the design, tuning, and governance of transaction monitoring systems across fiat and on-chain activity. Ensure alert thresholds are risk-based, backlogs are managed within defined SLAs, and the program produces defensible SAR filing decisions.</div>
</li>
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-DURad8fQKoxtnJxXsVclu2GUgig" data-list="bullet">
<div><strong>Suspicious Activity</strong><strong> Reporting</strong>: Own the SAR program, ensuring timely, accurate, and complete filings with FinCEN. Maintain quality control over SAR narratives and establish clear escalation protocols for complex or high-profile matters. Manage law enforcement requests, grand jury subpoenas, and section 314(a)/(b) inquiries.</div>
</li>
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-GMPkd9VU1oyzPdxko1mlm12kgML" data-list="bullet">
<div><strong>Blockchain Analytics & On-Chain Intelligence</strong>: Lead the firm's use of blockchain analytics tools to identify illicit finance typologies—including darknet market proceeds, ransomware, fraud, terrorist financing, and sanctions evasion—through both direct and indirect exposure analysis.</div>
</li>
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-YlYhdEgZ8oYaAAxQ1Y3lMisLg2f" data-list="bullet">
<div><strong>Financial Crimes</strong><strong> Convergence</strong>: Ensure financial crimes functions are operationally coordinated, particularly where typologies overlap—including account takeover, pig butchering scams, money mule networks, and romance fraud—which are pervasive in the crypto ecosystem.</div>
</li>
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-VaF5dmgIcoY2K3x1yZTld6f3gob" data-list="bullet">
<div><strong>Regulatory Engagement & Examinations</strong>: Lead engagement with FinCEN, OFAC, state regulators (e.g., NYDFS), and international FIUs. Manage regulatory examinations, enforcement inquiries, and remediation commitments. Represent the firm in industry forums and with law enforcement agencies including the DOJ and FBI.</div>
</li>
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-VvCodjFpHoKJVzx2csJlzwh0gTg" data-list="bullet">
<div><strong>Typology & Intelligence Program</strong>: Build and maintain a financial crimes typology library specific to crypto—including mixer/tumbler usage, chain-hopping, NFT wash trading, DeFi exploitation, and stablecoin-based layering. Translate intelligence into updated controls and detection scenarios.</div>
</li>
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-FOi9dMe3mosJ67xeO8llIS4igkd" data-list="bullet">
<div><strong>Team Leadership & Organizational Development</strong>: Build, develop, and retain a high-performing global team of AML analysts, investigators, and compliance professionals. Define career pathways, establish quality assurance programs, and manage third-party vendors supporting investigations and technology.</div>
</li>
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-YAsXdbsz0oQ6rcxji1wlVS5zgdf" data-list="bullet">
<div><strong>Policy & Training</strong>: Own the global financial crimes policy framework. Ensure policies are operationalized and that all relevant staff—including customer operations, product, and engineering—receive role-appropriate training on financial crimes risks and obligations.</div>
</li>
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-UivMd2W7LoPaa3xWU2ilDicmgef" data-list="bullet">
<div><strong>Independent Testing & Audit Support</strong>: Oversee the annual independent review of the AML program. Serve as the primary point of contact for internal audit on financial crimes matters and ensure findings are remediated on time and sustainably.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-DBuRdg7wPooGTfxotZWlCACJgvp"><strong>What We Look For In You</strong></h3>
<ul class="list-bullet1">
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-WezsdxMZ2oAChexCjvqlwEctgeb" data-list="bullet">
<div>10+ years of experience in leading global compliance, financial crimes, or related regulatory functions.</div>
</li>
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Hr3YdC9qGodWUXx3fvplSj6KgZd" data-list="bullet">
<div><strong>Mastery of Crypto-Specific Financial Crimes Typologies at a Global Scale</strong>: The ability to identify and respond to illicit finance patterns unique to digital assets—and to understand how those patterns vary by region. DPRK-linked theft looks different from cartel-linked stablecoin use in LATAM, which looks different from terrorist financing typologies in MENA. Global fluency across these distinctions is essential.</div>
</li>
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-A3OodysDxor5r9xD8d4lz3qtgcf" data-list="bullet">
<div><strong>Multi-Jurisdictional Regulatory Credibility</strong>: A demonstrated ability to engage constructively with regulators across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously—FinCEN, OFAC, FCA, MAS, NYDFS, and others. The ability to represent the firm credibly in markets where regulatory relationships are still being built is equally important as maintaining established ones.</div>
</li>
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-B7JIdNw4dov1UKxFfa3lc21cgdh" data-list="bullet">
<div><strong>Navigating Regulatory Conflict & Extraterritoriality</strong>: The ability to manage situations where US obligations (particularly OFAC secondary sanctions and BSA information-sharing requirements) conflict with local data privacy laws, bank secrecy regulations, or sovereign requirements in international markets. This requires sophisticated legal and diplomatic judgment, not just compliance expertise.</div>
</li>
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-QF3bdGX65ouNAHxdyMSlt6jSgqb" data-list="bullet">
<div><strong>Travel Rule & VASP Ecosystem Expertise</strong>: Deep understanding of the global Travel Rule landscape—including which jurisdictions have implemented, which have not, and how to manage the resulting compliance asymmetry across counterparty VASP relationships worldwide.</div>
</li>
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-AjkudpWjtoCVBsx3NBHl1ymngzc" data-list="bullet">
<div><strong>Technology Fluency at Global Scale</strong>: The ability to evaluate and direct transaction monitoring, KYC, and blockchain analytics technology that works across multiple languages, currencies, fiat rails, and on-chain ecosystems simultaneously—and to drive engineering teams to build controls that are globally deployable without requiring complete local customization.</div>
</li>
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-KH4edmlhZo5XZsxCFRIloMXcgLc" data-list="bullet">
<div><strong>Cross-Border Law Enforcement Relationships</strong>: Established relationships with DOJ, FBI, IRS-CI, Europol, Interpol, and regional law enforcement agencies. In a sector where illicit activity is inherently cross-border, the ability to cooperate with—and receive intelligence from—international law enforcement is a material risk mitigation capability.</div>
</li>
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-DAxedgKCmoVsIexP0dol51R6gCd" data-list="bullet">
<div><strong>Cultural Intelligence & Global Team Leadership</strong>: The ability to lead a geographically dispersed team across markedly different regulatory cultures, professional norms, and languages. Building a cohesive global financial crimes function requires cultural fluency, not just compliance expertise.</div>
</li>
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-TMgRddM1don3ArxYYXdlgmxpg2e" data-list="bullet">
<div><strong>Scalable, Regionally Adaptive Program Architecture</strong>: Building a program architecture that is globally consistent in its standards and risk philosophy, but flexible enough to accommodate the significant regulatory variation across operating jurisdictions—without creating an unmanageable patchwork of local programs that cannot be overseen centrally.</div>
</li>
<li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-IQcOdeCziojIsSxUkyVlJPpUgXM" data-list="bullet">
<div><strong>Proactive Jurisdiction Expansion Support</strong>: The ability to assess the financial crimes compliance requirements of new markets before the firm enters them—providing clear-eyed input on regulatory readiness, licensing timelines, and residual risk—so that geographic expansion decisions are made with full awareness of the compliance implications.</div>
</li>
</ul>
