    Description
    KAST is redefining stablecoin banking for global citizens, crypto professionals, Web3-native businesses, and high-inflation markets seeking USD-backed banking.

    We're building the world's first truly global money app including crypto cards, local accounts, and global payouts in a premium product with top acceptance by leading investors and led by the former APAC CEO of Circle, our team brings experience from Circle, Airwallex, Revolut, Wise, Grab, Zoom, AWS, and top OTC desks.

    Since July 2024, we've scaled from zero to nearly a million users, becoming the go-to card for the crypto community.

    By building directly on-chain, we offer what traditional financial rails can't: instant yield, flexible collateralized lending, and enhanced investment products.


    Our cards bring stablecoins to life:
    spend at 100M+ merchants, withdraw at ATMs, and enable new ways to access credit.
    Our culture is velocity × excellence. We move fast, obsess over product quality, and aim to outpace legacy players.


    Our ambition is clear:
    to build the next generation of financial services and make KAST the #1 stablecoin bank globally.
    The RoleThe Head of Compliance Operations acts as the operational backbone of our compliance function.

    This is a high-ownership position where you'll take responsibility for scaling our defenses from day one, ensuring regulatory obligations are met efficiently while enabling business scalability.

    Your mission is to balance speed with safety.

    You will lead a growing team of ~20 professionals, own the execution of fraud and AML workflows, and manage critical relationships with our banking partners.

    You'll operate in a dynamic, high-growth environment, bridging the gap between complex regulatory requirements and operational excellence.

    This role is for builders—leaders who don't just manage tickets but optimize systems, automate processes, and care deeply about protecting the platform while delivering a seamless user experience.


    What You'll Be DoingLead and Scale the Team:
    Lead, manage, and develop a team of approximately 20 Compliance Operations officers.

    You will set clear performance metrics, implement QA loops, and ensure appropriate coverage across time zones to maintain high operational standards.


    Own Operational Workflows & SLAs:
    Oversee all compliance operational workflows, including onboarding, transaction monitoring, and internal tickets. You will define and monitor SLAs, ensuring that high-risk and regulator-linked cases are prioritized and resolved efficiently.


    Manage Partner RFIs:
    Act as the operational owner for AML/Fraud RFIs from banks, card issuers, and payment processors.

    You will standardize response frameworks and coordinate with Legal and Product to ensure requests are handled accurately and within agreed timelines.


    Drive Fraud & AML Controls:
    Collaborate with Risk, Data, and Product teams to own the operational effectiveness of fraud rules and AML alerts. You will continuously assess rule performance to reduce false positives/negatives and implement enhancements based on emerging trends.


    Optimize Tools & Processes:
    Lead the continuous improvement of our compliance tech stack (Sumsub, Elliptic, Sardine, etc.). You will identify automation opportunities to reduce manual workload and partner with Engineering to deploy system enhancements.


    Governance & Risk Visibility:
    Produce regular operational reporting on risk trends, fraud metrics, and partner RFIs.

    You will be responsible for escalating systemic risks to senior management and supporting internal audits and regulatory exams from an operational perspective.


    What You'll BringExperience:
    8–12+ years of experience in Compliance Operations, AML, Fraud, or Financial Crime, preferably within a high-growth fintech, crypto, payment, or banking environment

    Leadership:
    Proven experience managing large operational teams (15–50 people), with a track record of hiring, training, and performance management

    Technical Expertise:
    Strong hands-on experience with compliance ticketing systems, case management tools (e.g.

    , Sumsub, Elliptic, Sardine), and transaction monitoring Excellence:
    Demonstrated ownership of SLA-driven environments. You know how to build processes that are scalable and efficient.


    Partner Management:
    Experience handling partner RFIs from regulated financial institutions. You understand how to communicate complex compliance data to external stakeholders.


    Regulatory Knowledge:
    Solid understanding of AML/CFT, fraud risk, and operational compliance requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
    Why KAST?Work at the forefront of crypto, payments, and fintech.

    At KAST, you'll have high ownership, zero bureaucracy, and a direct impact on building the world's first truly global stablecoin-first bank.
