Antalpha Hiring! Full Time Compliance Manager, AML Advisory in - Ricebowl

About the Role

Compliance is broken at most fast-moving fintechs — policies lag products, AML is treated as checkbox work, and business teams are left guessing. This role exists to fix that. As Compliance Manager, you'll own the uplift of AML frameworks, sharpen regulatory guidance, and embed compliance thinking directly into how products and operations are built — across a startup-paced environment where your decisions actually shape the structure.

What You'll Do

AML & Process Improvement

• Redesign AML/CDD/EDD workflows for quality, consistency, and defensibility
• Strengthen AML/CFT policies, procedures, and internal playbooks
• Oversee onboarding standards, client risk assessments, and complex escalations
• Act as escalation point for high-risk cases, including crypto exchange and lending-related reviews
• Deliver internal training that moves teams from compliance-aware to compliance-capable
• Support banking relationship reviews — account openings, periodic due diligence

Regulatory & Advisory

• Translate regulatory requirements into clear, actionable guidance for business teams
• Review new products, activities, and structures — including tokenised assets and brokerage models — for compliance implications
• Strengthen policies across conduct, complaints, mis-selling, and data protection
• Support regulatory submissions, licence matters, and reporting obligations
• Partner with product, risk, and ops teams across the full product lifecycle

What You Bring

Must-Have

• 7–12 years across compliance, AML, regulatory advisory, or capital markets compliance
• Hands-on experience improving AML processes — not just executing onboarding
• Proven track record drafting or enhancing policies, procedures, and governance frameworks
• Experience in crypto exchange or crypto lending environments
• Strong judgment applying regulatory requirements to real, fast-moving business contexts
• Comfortable influencing stakeholders across product, operations, and management

Nice-to-Have

• Transaction monitoring and investigation experience (a genuine plus)
• Exposure to brokerage, asset management, or PSA-regulated businesses
• Data or analytics used to strengthen compliance oversight
