About Paxos 

Today’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky — supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it.

We’re on a mission to open the world’s financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we’ve built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world’s leading financial institutions, like PayPal, Venmo, Mastercard and Interactive Brokers. 

About the team

The Compliance team at Paxos plays a vital role in ensuring the company adheres to global regulatory standards across financial products and services. This team tackles complex challenges such as AML, sanctions, and transaction monitoring, all while ensuring a robust compliance framework in a rapidly evolving crypto and fintech landscape. By safeguarding Paxos against regulatory risks, the team is essential in helping the company achieve its mission of creating a more transparent and efficient financial ecosystem.

About the role

The Compliance Associate will be a key team member of Compliance Operations. This role will be critical to our transaction monitoring and investigation processes. This individual will be research minded and love digging into anomalous behaviors in order to help identify potentially illicit activity. The Compliance Associate will be a results-oriented compliance professional who takes ownership of their day to day work and demonstrates the sharpness needed to protect our company from financial crimes.

What you'll do 

  • You will execute all objectives of the Compliance Operations program, including transaction monitoring and investigations, writing suspicious activity reports, sanctions screening, vendor management, training, etc.
  • You will effectively coordinate with business and operational teams through key approval processes to provide an optimal customer experience while maintaining our regulatory obligations with regards to customer identification.
  • You will actively partner with global functional teams to execute shared compliance-specific projects and responsibilities.
  • Immerse yourself in blockchain technology, cryptocurrency for enterprises and investors, and our regulation-first approach.

About you

  • 1-2 years of compliance experience under your belt
  • A fundamental understanding of anti-money laundering and sanctions regulations
  • Experience with transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, SAR writing, etc.
  • Strong writing capabilities where deliverables are to be reviewed by regulators, auditors and law enforcement.
