What You'll Do

• Serve as the primary compliance contact for regulators and external partners, staying ahead of regulatory developments to ensure our business remains compliant across all operating markets.
• Partner with our internal legal and compliance teams to embed compliance policies into day-to-day operations across business lines.
• Own the end-to-end design and continuous improvement of our KYC / AML / CFT framework across our payment, card-issuing, and digital asset products — with a focus on Hong Kong MSO / VASP requirements and other regional regulations — and work closely with product teams to embed these requirements into our products and processes.
• Manage daily AML transaction monitoring, investigate alerts, identify suspicious activity, and oversee the preparation and submission of Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) while maintaining open lines of communication with regulators.
• Track and report on compliance risks across the organisation, produce regular compliance updates, and lead internal training sessions and periodic compliance reviews.
• Drive the preparation of licensing applications — including Hong Kong MSO and VASP licences — managing documentation, coordinating with regulators, and keeping stakeholders informed throughout the approval process.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree or above in Law, Finance, Compliance, or a related field, with at least 8 years of compliance and AML experience gained in fintech, payments, or digital assets.
• Deep understanding of KYC, AML / CFT regulatory frameworks and how they play out in practice — with a track record of turning complex regulatory requirements into clear, workable solutions for product and operations teams.
• Solid knowledge of Hong Kong MSO / VASP regulations (including SFC, Customs & Excise, and HKMA requirements) and other key regulatory regimes; experienced in engaging directly with regulators and comfortable owning the full scope of regulatory inquiries, compliance reviews, and licensing processes.
• Well-versed in FATF standards and the Travel Rule (FATF R.16) as they apply to digital assets; hands-on experience with compliance tools such as Chainalysis or Refinitiv World-Check is a strong plus.
• A natural risk-spotter — you stay on top of the regulatory landscape, flag issues early, and know how to mobilise the right people to get things resolved.
• Fluent in both English and Chinese (written and spoken), with the confidence to draft compliance documentation independently and represent the company in external conversations with regulators and chinese speaking partners.
