kraken.com - Compliance Manager, Institutional & Markets

• Solid working knowledge of Jersey financial services law: the Financial Services (Jersey) Law 1998, the Control of Borrowing (Jersey) Order, and the JFSC’s regulatory framework for investment business and virtual asset service providers. • Familiarity with the JFSC’s approach to tokenised asset regulation, including how it interacts with the VASP registration regime and the wider virtual assets framework, or a demonstrated ability to get up to speed quickly on an evolving regulatory landscape. • Experience running or contributing to a compliance programme in a regulated financial services business, ideally with institutional or wholesale markets exposure. • Comfort with multi-jurisdictional complexity: this role spans regulatory frameworks and you'll need to hold the full picture without losing precision on any individual regime. • Ability to work with genuine ambiguity — products in this space are often ahead of the regulatory framework, and you'll need to make sound judgements without a ready-made playbook. • Strong written communication: committee papers, regulatory correspondence, and policy documentation to a high standard. • Self-directed, with clear escalation judgement — this is a lean team with high standards. • Direct experience with tokenised securities, RWA issuance, or structured digital asset products. • Prior experience engaging directly with the JFSC, including responding to supervisory requests, participating in regulatory consultations, or managing onsite reviews. • Exposure to MiCA, UK MiFID, or other trading venue regulatory frameworks relevant to cross-border institutional business. • Experience supporting multi-jurisdictional regulatory engagement or contributing to regulatory consultations. • Unless a specific application deadline is stated in the job posting, applications are accepted on an ongoing basis. • Please note, applicants are permitted to redact or remove information on their resume that identifies age, date of birth, or dates of attendance at or graduation from an educational institution. • We consider qualified applicants with criminal histories for employment on our team, assessing candidates in a manner consistent with the requirements of the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance. • Kraken is powered by people from around the world and we celebrate all Krakenites for their diverse talents, backgrounds, contributions and unique perspectives. We hire strictly based on merit, meaning we seek out the candidates with the right abilities, knowledge, and skills considered the most suitable for the job. We encourage you to apply for roles where you don't fully meet the listed requirements, especially if you're passionate or knowledgable about crypto! • We may ask candidates to complete job-related skills or work-style assessments as part of our hiring process. These assessments are designed to evaluate competencies relevant to the role and are applied consistently across candidates for similar positions. Assessment results are considered alongside other relevant information, such as experience and interviews, and are not the sole basis for any employment decision.
