As SVP, AML, you will own the global AML, CFT, and sanctions strategy for a crypto-adjacent payments business.

This includes oversight of transaction monitoring, blockchain analytics, sanctions screening, customer risk assessment, enhanced due diligence, and regulatory reporting across multiple regions.

We are looking for a senior AML leader with deep experience in crypto, digital assets, stablecoins, or regulated fintech environments. You should have built or led AML programmes for virtual asset service providers (VASPs), crypto exchanges, stablecoin issuers, or crypto-native payment platforms, with strong exposure to blockchain transaction monitoring, wallet screening, and cross-border risk management.

This role requires a leader who is both strategic and hands-on capable of setting global AML standards while actively supporting investigations, policy development, regulator interactions, and complex client onboarding.

This is a rare opportunity to build and lead the global AML function for a regulated stablecoin payments platform at scale, shaping the future of compliant digital asset settlement across high-growth markets.
