This is a senior individual-contributor role with program-ownership responsibility across KYC, KYB, and KYT onboarding and ongoing monitoring, as well as end-to-end management of transaction investigations and Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) filing determinations. The successful candidate will bring deep expertise in blockchain analytics — with hands-on proficiency in Chainalysis — and the regulatory acumen to operate in a global, multi-jurisdictional environment.

Program Oversight

• Conduct risk-based customer due diligence, including enhanced due diligence (EDD) for high-risk clients and ongoing transactional due diligence.

• Own ongoing monitoring workflows: periodic reviews, triggered reviews, and adverse media screening for the digital asset client population.

• Develop and maintain risk-based KYT policies governing transaction monitoring thresholds, risk scoring methodologies, and escalation protocols.

• Collaborate with Onboarding, Sales, and Legal to ensure client lifecycle processes are compliant, efficient, and scalable.

Transaction Investigations & SAR Filing

• Lead the end-to-end transaction investigation process: triage, investigation, escalation, and disposition of alerts generated by automated monitoring systems.

• Make well-reasoned, documented SAR filing determinations in compliance with BSA/FinCEN requirements, including timely preparation, review, and submission of SAR narratives.

• Establish and manage a robust case management workflow with clear SLAs, documentation standards, and quality-control checkpoints.

• Identify typologies and patterns and emerging risks in digital asset transaction activity to proactively refine investigation playbooks and alert logic.

• Interface with law enforcement and regulators in response to subpoenas and other information requests.

Blockchain Analytics — Chainalysis

• Serve as the firm's subject-matter expert for Chainalysis (KYT, Reactor, Business Data), driving implementation, configuration, and ongoing optimization.

• Calibrate risk scoring models, custom alert rules, and exposure thresholds within Chainalysis to reflect the firm's risk appetite and client profile.

• Partner with Technology and Operations to ensure seamless integration of Chainalysis outputs into the firm's broader transaction monitoring and case management infrastructure.

• Monitor Chainalysis product updates and blockchain analytics developments, recommending program enhancements as needed.
