Compliance Manager & BSA Officer at a cross-border payments platform built on stablecoin rails.

Compliance Manager and named BSA Officer reporting to the Chief Compliance Officer. Signing as the Section 5318(h) responsible individual at a US payments firm carries personal liability for the firm's AML programme.

About the firm

Anonymised by default.

A cross-border payments platform built on stablecoin rails. The firm holds EU and US licensing. Around 70 staff. The firm processes B2B payment flows for fintech and platform customers; growth has been steady through 2025 and 2026.

We name a client on the mandate page only where the firm has approved publication. Where not named, the description above is intended to be enough for a senior candidate to recognise whether their pattern fits the brief.

The brief

What this seat exists to do.

Compliance Manager and named BSA Officer reporting to the Chief Compliance Officer. The seat owns the firm's US compliance programme end-to-end.

Day-to-day responsibility for the firm's federal and state-level filings, suspicious activity monitoring, sanctions screening, and the firm's relationship with the appointed US examination partner.

The seat is the firm's named BSA Officer and signs off on the relevant filings under personal accountability.

US-based, remote-first. Quarterly travel to the firm's New York office and to relevant supervisory meetings expected.

What we are assessing for

  • Current or recent BSA Officer experience at a regulated US payments or money services business; named-accountability familiarity is essential.
  • Hands-on with the operational reality of running a compliance programme — case management tooling, sanctions watchlists, and the cadence of an examination cycle.
  • Comfort with the stablecoin-rail dimension — the firm's products touch on-chain settlement and the compliance programme reflects that.
  • Patterns: a current BSA Officer at a peer payments firm ready for a larger remit; a senior compliance manager at a stablecoin issuer; a compliance lead from a regulated digital-asset venue with US licensing.
The firm's read

Spectrum's read on this search.

Signing as the Section 5318(h) responsible individual at a US payments firm carries personal liability for the firm's AML programme. Anyone weighing this role will want to know who they would be signing alongside and the state of the programme they would inherit. The work covers both federal and state programmes for a licensed US entity with stablecoin payment flows running through it, which makes the regulatory scope broader than a money-transmitter role of comparable size.

— Craig Oliver, Founder & CEO
