Paxos was founded in 2012 as the first institutional and regulated crypto-exchange, our founding team quickly realized there was an opportunity to establish ourselves as the trusted leader in digital assets. By creating regulated digital assets like our USD-backed stablecoin PAX, we’re giving customers the chance to process their financial transactions in safer, faster and more cost-effective ways. We’re also building solutions for some of the world’s best-known financial institutions to settle day-to-day transactions faster, cheaper and with the most modern technology. We believe the global financial system has relied too long on closed infrastructure and outdated technologies - it's time for a change.

Security is at the heart of what we do: as a regulated company, we are required to meet a high security bar and are dedicated to creating trust with our customers. As we continue to grow at Paxos, we are investing heavily in our internal security operations. This Information Security Compliance Manager will join our New York office, report directly to our CISO, and work with a number of key stakeholder groups across the business. This is a senior, individual contributor role and will oversee the assessment, planning, implementation and scaling of our various information and physical security practices and policies. 

What you will do: 

  • Work closely with Legal, Compliance, Engineering, and Operations teams on key security policies
  • Create security and IT policies, frameworks, and rulesets, and work closely with CISO to roll these out across the organization
  • Partner with stakeholders on new product rollouts, ensuring that security is at the forefront of our planning
  • Provide complete and accurate reporting to the Board of Directors and its Security Committee, internal and external auditors, regulatory agencies, and industry compliance officials
  • Liaise with information security and risk management staff from Paxos customers and vendors, ensuring compliance with applicable rulesets
  • Assist Legal & Compliance teams with any work related to our compliance with the Money Laundering and Financial Crimes Strategy Act of 1998
  • Advise the Company on Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) and coordinate some reporting activities with the New York and New Jersey High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA)

What you need to have: 

  • Minimum of five years’ experience at interpreting and advising a business in compliance with regulatory, industry, and internal policy rulesets, policy frameworks and regimes; a background in information security; and experience collaborating and cooperating with law enforcement authorities
  • Experience working with AML rulesets and with the regulatory bodies that govern these (SEC, DFS, etc)
  • Experience working in a technology company is a must. You will need to work closely with engineering and product teams in this role
  • Ability to juggle multiple priorities and manage through ambiguity
  • Demonstrated career growth within the field
  • Experience with security policy, standards, and controls definition
  • Experience working in an international/global organization
  • Experience in the financial services and cryptocurrency industries is preferred
  • JD or some experience in a legal or compliance field is helpful
  • CISSP, CISA, CISM, CEH, nice to haves

Other than these qualifications, we're hoping to bring someone on board who loves what they do and can't wait to join an amazing team.
