The Role

We are looking for a dynamic and self-driven professional to join our compliance team, working closely with and reporting to the Head of Compliance. As a Compliance Analyst, you will be actively involved across the end-to-end compliance lifecycle, with meaningful exposure to digital-asset activities subject to MAS regulation and MPI licensing process.

In this role, you will support core compliance operations, such as counterparty due diligence, on-chain analysis, name screening, transaction monitoring and reviews, audit support, and the implementation of regulatory requirements under the MAS framework and applicable industry standards. You will be expected to develop strong technical and regulatory competency quickly, progressively taking on greater ownership and complexity as you grow in the role.

What You Will Do

• Support counterparty onboarding and act as a primary point of contact to address and resolve onboarding-related queries.
• Identify, resolve, and where appropriate, negotiate onboarding or compliance blockers in collaboration with counterparties and internal stakeholders.
• Perform end-to-end KYC/CDD and AML/CFT activities, including due diligence on new counterparties and periodic reviews of existing relationships.
• Conduct ongoing transaction monitoring reviews and wallet screening, including escalation of suspicious or unusual activities.
• Collaborate with technology, trading, and operations teams to develop and enhance scalable tools and processes to support compliance operations.
• Review and improve existing compliance workflows by identifying opportunities for increased efficiency and effectiveness.
• Support ad-hoc compliance initiatives and projects to strengthen the firm's overall compliance and risk culture.

What We Are Looking For

Experience:

At least 1 year of relevant experience in compliance, KYC/CDD, or related roles within financial services, Web3, or the digital assets / Cryptoassets industry. Fresh graduates with strong foundational knowledge and a demonstrated willingness to learn are still encouraged to apply.

Education:

Bachelor's degree in Business, Law, Finance, or a related discipline. Professional certifications (e.g. CAMS) are advantageous but not required.

You should be someone who:

• Is highly organised, detail-oriented, and thinks in structured, systematic ways.
• Communicates clearly in writing and verbally. Proficiency in an additional language is a plus.
• Has a sound understanding of corporate constitutional and business documentation.
• Is comfortable and proactive in using AI tools (e.g. large language models, generative AI) to enhance productivity, accelerate learning, and improve work quality.
• Is self-motivated and curious, with a genuine interest in learning on-chain analytics, regulatory frameworks, and new technologies.
• Is willing to develop regulatory expertise across Singapore and relevant international jurisdictions.
• Holds themselves to high standards of integrity and professionalism

What You Will Get

We know every JD says collaborative culture and competitive compensation. Here's what we actually mean:

• Small team, real responsibility. You won't be filing paperwork in a corner. You'll sit with traders, work directly with leadership, and own outcomes that matter.
• Cross-functional exposure. Compliance here isn't siloed. You'll work across regulatory, technology, and operations workstreams including building compliance tools for the future, not just executing processes.
• Steep learning curve by design. We invest in developing our people. You'll gain hands-on exposure to cryptocurrency markets, institutional trading operations, and regulatory compliance in a way that most early-career roles simply don't offer.
• AI-forward working culture. We actively encourage the use of AI and emerging tools to work smarter. You'll be supported in experimenting and learning.
• A clear growth path. As the firm scales, so does your role. We value breadth over narrow specialisation you'll develop across regulatory, technology, and operational domains, building the kind of versatile expertise that compounds over a career.
• Competitive compensation commensurate with experience.

What to Expect

This is a full-time role, starting immediately, based on-site in Singapore.
