Compliance Associate - Remote Position at Paxos

About the Role

We are seeking a Compliance Associate to join our team at Paxos. This remote Compliance Associate role is vital in safeguarding the integrity of our digital asset ecosystem. You will be responsible for monitoring and investigating activities related to Paxos-issued stablecoins, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards while supporting financial innovation.

What You'll Do

• Monitor activity across Paxos-issued stablecoins using blockchain analytics tools, triaging alerts and escalating higher-risk activity to senior investigators as appropriate.
• Conduct first-line investigations into potential suspicious activity, synthesizing KYC, transactional, and open-source information into clear case files and recommendations.
• Support quarterly forensic reviews of stablecoin transactions to identify trends, typologies, and emerging risks, documenting findings for leadership and auditors.
• Assist with the intake and management of internal referrals, collaborating with real-time monitoring, product, legal, and other cross-functional stakeholders to resolve complex cases.
• Help maintain information-sharing workflows with law enforcement agencies, regulators, and industry partners, ensuring timely and well-documented responses.
• Draft clear, well-structured investigation summaries, SAR/STR supporting documentation, and case narratives that meet regulatory and internal quality standards.
• Use AI tools to speed up investigative workflows (e.g., triage, data summarization, drafting), while maintaining ownership and accountability for final decisions and outputs.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of procedures, playbooks, and training materials for transaction monitoring, investigations, and reporting.
• Participate in the team’s rotating weekend/on-call coverage and occasional travel to support training, audits, or regulatory meetings, as needed for the role.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in compliance, financial crime investigations, AML, sanctions, law enforcement, or a related risk function (experience with digital assets is a plus).
• Comfort analyzing large volumes of transactional data, identifying red flags, and structuring end-to-end investigations, including SAR/STR considerations.
• Exposure to blockchain analytics tools (e.g., transaction tracing, wallet clustering) or a demonstrated interest and aptitude to learn them quickly.
• Experience working with information-sharing protocols, subpoenas, or other law-enforcement/regulatory requests is strongly preferred.
• Proven ability to produce clear, concise, and well-organized investigative reports and documentation that meet regulatory and internal standards.
• Demonstrated experience using AI tools to improve how you work (e.g., research, drafting, quality checks) or a strong willingness to adopt them in daily workflows.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and operate in a fast-paced, highly regulated environment.
• Bachelor’s degree in finance, criminal justice, law, data/analytics, or a related field—or equivalent professional experience in investigations or financial crime compliance.
