Senior Compliance Officer — Cryptoasset Regulation
Paybis is looking for a senior regulatory compliance specialist to own substantive cryptoasset authorisation and implementation work across the EU and the UK.
This is not an operational KYC or transaction-monitoring role. You will personally draft regulator-facing materials, respond to regulatory questions and translate licence commitments into controls that work in practice.
What you will own
• MiCA/CASP implementation and maintenance of the MiCA policy framework.
• UK cryptoasset registration and authorisation work, including FCA submissions and responses to regulatory RFIs.
• The TFR / Travel Rule framework and its operational implementation.
• Blockchain-analytics control documentation, including methodology, thresholds and exposure attribution.
• DORA and operational-resilience documentation in partnership with ICT.
• Regulatory assessment of new cryptoassets, chains, custody models and counterparties.
• Jersey VASP registration support when prioritised.
• Regulatory requirement matrices, evidence rooms and verified closure of regulatory commitments.
What we are looking for
• At least five years of regulatory compliance experience, including significant experience inside a regulated cryptoasset, VASP or comparable financial-services business.
• Hands-on MiCA/CASP, FCA cryptoasset or comparable NCA-licensed VASP experience.
• Experience taking an authorisation or registration through submission and regulator review.
• Personal authorship of substantive regulator-facing policies, control descriptions, risk assessments or application materials.
• Practical knowledge of the Travel Rule and blockchain-analytics control design.
• Ability to navigate primary legislation and regulatory guidance independently.
• Strong professional English and concise written drafting.
Operational KYC, CDD or transaction-monitoring experience alone is not sufficient. CAMS, ICA or similar certifications are welcome, but drafting quality and authorisation experience matter more.
Why join Paybis
• Own high-visibility regulatory work rather than support an operational case queue.
• Work across MiCA implementation and UK crypto regulation in an established international crypto and payments business.
• See your regulatory decisions translated into product, controls and market access.
• Work directly with Compliance, Legal, Product, Risk and Security.
• Take broad ownership without automatically carrying statutory MLRO responsibility.
Working model
• Location: approved European engagement locations; remote or hybrid.
• Working hours: at least four hours of overlap with the European working day.
• Travel: occasional trips to Riga.
• Contract: long-term B2B, or employment where legally and operationally available.
• Compensation: EUR3,000–EUR4,000 gross per month.
• Start: as soon as possible.
