- Support applications, registrations, license renewals, and ongoing regulatory obligations for digital asset, payments, and money transmission activities.
- Coordinate with regulators, financial intelligence units, external counsel, auditors, banking partners, and local compliance teams.
- Assess compliance risks associated with new products, market expansion, business partners, and third-party service providers.
- Support regulatory examinations, independent compliance reviews, and internal and external audits; track findings and remediation through completion.
- Maintain accurate compliance records, reporting calendars, and management reports on key risks, control effectiveness, and outstanding issues.
- Deliver compliance training and provide practical guidance to teams across the Company.
- Escalate material compliance concerns promptly and exercise independent professional judgment.
