• Own and advance eComms surveillance controls and operational processes, ensuring comprehensive coverage across all approved employee communication channels.

• Proven ability to build and scale compliance programs in a fast-moving environment with limited structure
• Track record of developing team members and elevating the work of those around you
• Strong written communication for case documentation, escalation reporting, and governance materials

• Hands-on experience with eComms surveillance platforms
• Ability to identify complex compliance issues and develop practical, risk-based solutions
• Experience in crypto or digital assets
