CEX.IO is seeking a distinguished Non-Executive Director to join the Board of our Spanish entity, CEX.IO Europe S.L. 
As we navigate the landmark transition to full MiCAR authorization, you will serve as a critical pillar of our governance framework. Your role is to provide independent oversight, high-level strategic counsel, and a 'constructive challenge' to the Executive Management team.

• The ability to remain objective and provide a fiduciary check-and-balance to the executive team.
• Must be a tax resident of Spain, providing the "operational substance" required for regional licensing.  
  

Main focus:

• Provide a high-level ‘strategic overview’ of the Spanish market, ensuring local operations align with CEX.IO’s global vision.
• Help executive directors in identifying hidden problems or external factors that may negatively impact our local business and its profitability
• Ensure strict adherence to the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) and local Spanish financial mandates.
• Advise on and validate the development of robust risk management and internal control systems.
• Participate actively in Board meetings and specialized committees, providing knowledgeable arguments within a broader strategic context.
