Compliance Manager – Digital Assets | Remote-First | UAE If you're a financial services compliance professional with 3–5 years' experience, exposure to multi-jurisdictional work, and a growing frustration with box-ticking in slow-moving organisations — this is the role worth paying attention to. You'd be joining a remote-first fast-growing digital assets firm backed by a major global bank. It's an rare combination: the credibility and governance of traditional finance, with the speed and ambition of crypto. The product is already live, moving money across borders in minutes. The challenge now is building the compliance infrastructure to match. The role This isn't a narrow, policy-only position. You'll be at the centre of the business — helping shape how it enters new markets, supporting licensing applications, and keeping pace with a constantly shifting regulatory landscape with a global outlook. One day you're mapping new regulations into practical controls; the next you're identifying gaps, advising on product changes, or working through how operations run across multiple regions. The expectation is that you'll operate with real independence — spotting problems early, coming with solutions, and making sound judgement calls without waiting to be directed. You'll need to understand financial services properly: not just the regulations, but how the products actually work. What makes this different The combination of backing and freedom is genuinely unusual. You get the governance, infrastructure, and credibility of a major institution — without the layers and inertia that usually come with it. The business is lean, remote-first, and global. You'll report directly into senior leadership, with visibility and ownership from day one. What we're looking for A solid hands-on compliance foundation across financial services, regulatory exposure to different jurisdictions, and the desire for more scope, pace, and influence. Strong communication skills and confidence engaging across all levels of seniority. Experience with crypto or blockchain analytics tools (e.g., Chainalysis, TRM Labs) is helpful but not essential — mindset, curiosity, and the ability to navigate complexity matter more.
