Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) | Crypto Trading & Digital Assets | Remote
Are you a senior compliance leader looking to shape the future of one of the world's fastest-growing digital asset trading firms?
We're partnering with an innovative quantitative trading business operating at the forefront of the digital asset market. As the company continues its international expansion, they're looking to appoint their first permanent Chief Compliance Officer to build and lead a world-class compliance function.
This is a rare opportunity to join a highly technical, entrepreneurial organisation where compliance is viewed as a strategic enabler rather than a blocker.
The Opportunity
Reporting into executive leadership, you'll take ownership of the global compliance function across multiple jurisdictions, helping the business scale while maintaining the highest regulatory standards.
You'll be responsible for developing a modern, technology-driven compliance framework that supports continued growth across new markets, products, and licensing initiatives. This role combines strategic leadership with hands-on execution, making it ideal for someone who enjoys building functions rather than simply maintaining them.
