Jobs

You’ll play a pivotal role in helping our customers meet their regulatory and financial crime compliance obligations. This includes deep engagement with financial institutions, crypto native businesses, regulators, and cross-functional internal teams to ensure our tools, strategies, and guidance reflect the highest standards of compliance—across areas like anti-money laundering (AML), sanctions, KYC, and broader financial crime risk.

With accelerating demand from financial institutions entering the market, increasing regulatory engagement globally, and growing momentum with financial institutions, we’re at an inflection point. We’re seeking an additional Compliance Advisor to help us keep pace with our opportunity set and meet the rising complexity and scale of our work. This role will report into the Head of Compliance Advisory and partner cross-functionally with go-to-market, product, policy, and customer success teams.

The impact you’ll have here:

• Support customers in navigating complex compliance-related inquiries and building compliance controls, particularly as our footprint expands in key markets
• Build credibility and trust with compliance leaders at global financial institutions, accelerating adoption across APAC and North America
• Anticipate and adapt to evolving financial crime and regulatory landscapes—ensuring our customers receive accurate, actionable insight on everything from AML controls to emerging laundering typologies
• Deliver clear, consistent guidance that empowers both our internal teams and external stakeholders to uphold robust financial crime compliance standards
• Represent our platform in high-stakes conversations with regulators, banking partners, and policy influencers—bringing a strong, informed perspective on financial crime risk and compliance integrity

What we’re looking for:

• 4+ years of experience in AML compliance roles within large financial institutions
• Thorough understanding of the different functions within a financial crime compliance program inclusive of risk assessments, KYC, transaction monitoring, and sanctions, including workflows, challenges, effectiveness strategies, and key regulatory issues
• Experience advising stakeholders on how to interpret and meet their regulatory obligations
• Global regulatory fluency, with working knowledge of key frameworks in the APAC, US, and/or EMEA
• Experience supporting and/or leading engagements with financial institutions, regulators, or government bodies
• A practical and scalable approach to compliance—you’re thoughtful about risk, but not dogmatic
• Excellent communication skills and sound judgment; able to operate autonomously with influence and credibility across senior external stakeholders
• A low-ego, highly collaborative teammate who thrives in cross-functional environments
• Fluency in another language is a plus
• Willingness to travel to speak at conferences in multiple regions

About the Team:

Our Compliance Advisory team is a globally distributed group of experts with backgrounds in financial institutions, regulatory bodies, and high-growth technology companies. We operate at the intersection of compliance, product, and customer engagement—helping some of the most innovative businesses in the world meet their regulatory obligations without slowing down. Each team member brings deep financial crime expertise and a strong sense of ownership to a highly collaborative, fast-moving environment.

We maintain alignment through weekly global syncs, cross-functional risk reviews, and focused huddles when high-stakes issues arise. In between, we rely heavily on written communication—Slack, Notion, and Loom—to ensure we’re moving quickly and staying on the same page. Our team culture is anchored in clarity, responsiveness, and shared accountability. We value curiosity, strong judgment, and a bias toward practical solutions.

As a globally distributed team, members may observe different timezones, however, this role will be mostly APAC coverage with occasional overlap for other timezones.

Learn about TRM Speed in this position:

We identify emerging regulatory changes in a key market and deliver internal guidance within 48 hours.

• For example, when a new AML directive is released, we quickly analyze its relevance, brief GTM and product stakeholders, and share a synthesized summary with action recommendations—all before competitors begin reacting
• We don't wait for someone to ask; we anticipate, package, and deliver with velocity and clarity

We support a financial institution’s onboarding by building a tailored control framework proposal in 5 days.

• Rather than getting bogged down in red tape, we pull from prior engagements, adapt our templates, and proactively flag potential concerns to speed up adoption and reduce friction in compliance reviews
• We meet institutional expectations without slowing down commercial momentum

We jump into regulatory conversations on short notice, even without perfect prep.

• When a regulator requests a briefing on how our platform supports sanctions screening, we coordinate internally and deliver a thoughtful, compliance-forward perspective the same week
• We value precision—but in a high-growth environment, velocity matters. We iterate and improve fast, rather than delay
