## Head of Compliance We are looking for a seasoned and forward-thinking **Head of Compliance** to lead our compliance function at a pivotal moment for the web3 industry. Reporting to the Chief Legal Officer, you will be responsible for the company’s compliance strategy and programs. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who thrives at the intersection of fast-moving regulation, emerging technology, and business growth. ### Your Impact * **Compliance Strategy & Programme Ownership:** Lead the company's compliance vision and multi-year roadmap. Build a scalable, risk-based programme that evolves with the business and the regulatory environment, and ensure compliance is embedded as a strategic enabler — not just a control function. * **Regulatory Strategy & Government Affairs:** Shape the company's regulatory positioning in the US and, where applicable, globally. Engage with regulators as needed. Monitor and assess the impact of key developments — such as the CLARITY Act, GENIUS Act, SEC/CFTC harmonisation efforts, and evolving DeFi guidance — and translate these into concrete business recommendations. Represent the company in industry working groups, trade associations, and policy discussions. * **Web3 & Digital Asset Compliance:** Lead compliance strategy across the company's core products and protocols, including token issuance and classification, stablecoin compliance, DeFi protocol risk, smart contract governance, on-chain transaction monitoring, and blockchain analytics. Advise on the regulatory treatment of digital assets under evolving SEC and CFTC frameworks, including securities vs. commodity determinations and tokenized asset requirements. * **Risk Management & Controls:** Own the enterprise compliance risk framework. Oversee AML/BSA, KYC/KYB, OFAC sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and blockchain analytics programmes. Partner with teams within the company to embed controls into products and infrastructure — not just processes. * **Policy, Training & Culture:** Own the compliance policy lifecycle and oversee a targeted, role-based training programme. Champion an organisation-wide culture of integrity, using data and storytelling — not just mandates — to drive genuine behavioural change. ### Role Requirements * 10+ years of compliance experience, with significant time in digital assets, fintech, or financial services * Deep knowledge of the US digital asset regulatory landscape — including SEC, CFTC, FinCEN, OFAC, and state-level frameworks — and a strong view on where it's heading * Experience leading regulatory examinations, licensing processes, or enforcement matters directly * Proven track record of building compliance programmes in high-growth or ambiguous environments * Familiarity with blockchain technology, on-chain transaction monitoring tools (e.g. Chainalysis, TRM Labs), and DeFi risk vectors * Strong executive presence with the ability to advise executives, engage regulators, and influence across the business ### Compensation & Benefits The base salary range for this position is **$160,000 - $240,000 USD annually**. The final offer will be determined based on factors including your experience, skills, qualifications, geographic location, and internal equity considerations. In addition to base salary, this role includes equity compensation and a comprehensive benefits package. We offer competitive health cover, 401k, flexible paid time off, and other perks designed to support your wellbeing and professional growth. This position is remote and open to candidates located anywhere in the United States, with a preference for those on the East Coast. *Blockdaemon is committed to pay transparency and equal pay practices. We determine compensation based on role requirements, candidate qualifications, and market data—never on protected characteristics.* ### About Us **We Power the Blockchain economy.** **Blockdaemon** powers the blockchain economy with its suite of industry-leading infrastructure solutions.
