Type of Employment

Full-time, indefinite contract.

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Internal Controls & Compliance Specialist to take ownership of compliance and internal controls across Europe. This is a key role reporting to our Head of Legal, where you will be the go-to person for all things AML and compliance.

Think of it as a "jack of all trades" position: you’ll coordinate existing AML processes, strengthen internal controls, and ensure regulatory compliance across multiple frameworks, while also being the bridge between Legal, Risk, and other teams.

You’ll be spearheading compliance, owning escalations, SAR reporting, and helping us wrap up MiCA and other upcoming regulatory requirements. Our Risk team will continue building automated alerts, but you’ll take the lead in driving compliance strategy and execution.

What You’ll Do

• Own AML & Compliance in Europe: Lead and coordinate KYC/KYB checks, sanctions screening, escalations, and SAR reporting. Act as the key contact for regulators and external auditors.
• Drive Regulatory Alignment: Partner with Legal to finalize MiCA implementation and keep Crossmint in step with GDPR, DORA, SOC 2, ISO, and other relevant frameworks. Prepare clear and timely reports for regulators and internal stakeholders.
• Strengthen Internal Controls: Design, monitor, and refine controls to mitigate risks around AML, fraud, and financial misstatements. Coordinate audits, identify gaps, and put action plans in place.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Work with Risk (who handle the alerts and monitoring), Finance, Security, and Product to embed compliance into business processes without slowing innovation.
• Be a Compliance Champion: Lead awareness initiatives, provide training, and make sure compliance is part of our DNA. Escalate issues when necessary and propose data-driven solutions.
• Shape the Future of Compliance at Crossmint: Lay the groundwork for compliance leadership in a scaling company. Within six months, you could be managing someone directly and building the foundations of a bigger team.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in compliance, AML, internal controls, risk management, or audit. A background in consulting or public accounting is a plus.
• Proven expertise in KYC/KYB, AML, sanctions screening, SAR, and fraud detection.
• Familiarity with MiCA/VASP, GDPR, DORA, SOC2, ISO, and related frameworks. Blockchain or crypto compliance experience is a strong plus.
• Strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to manage diverse stakeholders.
• Experience with on-chain analysis tools (e.g., Elliptic, Chainalysis, Persona Identities, Notabene) is highly desirable.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., CAMS, CISA, CIA) are a plus.
• Proactive, organized, and eager to lead compliance initiatives in a fast-growing environment.

Why Join Crossmint?

• Impactful Work: Take the lead in building and owning compliance processes that will shape the future of onchain compliance in Europe.
• Leadership Growth: Step into a role designed to grow—within months, you may be leading a small compliance team.
• Cross-Functional Exposure: Work alongside Legal, Risk, Finance, and Security, playing a pivotal role across the company.
• Dynamic Environment: Be at the forefront of blockchain innovation, adapting compliance to a space where regulation is just taking shape.
• Career Development: Deepen your expertise across multi-jurisdictional compliance, while growing your leadership skills in a supportive, forward-thinking team.
