SVP, AML - Digital Assets

Our client is hiring a SVP, AML to design and lead its global financial crime framework across fiat, stablecoin, and digital asset settlement flows. This is a critical leadership role for the company as they scale their regulated fiat–stablecoin hybrid payment network across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Backed by a strong funding and processing over US$1 billion in monthly volume across 30+ markets, they operates a next-generation settlement layer combining local fiat rails with stablecoin liquidity, FX optimisation, and real-time compliance intelligence.

As SVP, AML, you will own the global AML, CFT, and sanctions strategy for a crypto-adjacent payments business. You will design and maintain AML frameworks covering stablecoin transactions, fiat on/off-ramps, wallet risk, counterparty risk, and cross-border settlement flows. This includes oversight of transaction monitoring, blockchain analytics, sanctions screening, customer risk assessment, enhanced due diligence, and regulatory reporting across multiple regions.

We are looking for a senior AML leader with deep experience in crypto, digital assets, stablecoins, or regulated fintech environments. You should have built or led AML programmes for virtual asset service providers (VASPs), crypto exchanges, stablecoin issuers, or crypto-native payment platforms, with strong exposure to blockchain transaction monitoring, wallet screening, and cross-border risk management.

This role requires a leader who is both strategic and hands-on — capable of setting global AML standards while actively supporting investigations, policy development, regulator interactions, and complex client onboarding.

This is a rare opportunity to build and lead the global AML function for a regulated stablecoin payments platform at scale, shaping the future of compliant digital asset settlement across high-growth markets.
