Compliance Program Manager

About Paxos 

Today’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky — supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it.

We’re on a mission to open the world’s financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we’ve built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world’s leading financial institutions, like PayPal, Venmo, Mastercard and Interactive Brokers. 

About the team

You will work closely with the Legal, Product, and Engineering teams to ensure that compliance is embedded throughout the product lifecycle, from design to launch, enabling scalable and compliant product offerings.
