Your tasks

Client Delivery

• Deliver Web3 regulatory advisory projects, including licensing and authorisation readiness, gap assessments, compliance reviews, and implementation support for CASPs, VASPs, token issuers, and other digital-asset businesses.
• Help clients translate regulatory requirements into practical governance, AML and CFT, cybersecurity, technology, and operational controls, drawing on CertiK's wider expertise.
• Support application-related work by coordinating key materials, evidence, stakeholders, and responses to regulators, particularly for European Union and United Arab Emirates processes.
• Present clear findings and recommendations in reports and workshops, and manage delivery across agreed scope, timelines, and follow-up actions.

Regulatory Research and Internal Product and Service Development

• Monitor and analyse Web3 regulation and supervisory expectations across priority jurisdictions, with particular attention to the European Union and the United Arab Emirates.
• Turn regulatory research and client experience into reusable methods, templates, control mappings, knowledge materials, and new or updated regulatory service offerings.
• Work with CertiK's cybersecurity, AML, product, and engineering teams to develop and improve compliance tools and workflows, including requirements definition, regulatory content, and testing.
• Use market developments and client feedback to identify opportunities to improve our tools and services and make delivery more consistent and scalable.

Requirements

• Strong match: Hands-on experience supporting a Web3 licensing or authorisation process for a CASP, VASP, token issuer, or similar digital-asset business. Direct application experience under MiCA, VARA, ADGM FSRA, DFSA, or another European Union or United Arab Emirates regime is especially valuable.
• Experience: Two to four years in digital-asset regulatory compliance, financial-services licensing, legal or compliance operations, consulting, or a related role.
• Web3 knowledge: Practical understanding of blockchain networks, wallets, custody, exchanges, transfers, token issuance, stablecoins, and common digital-asset business models.
• Regulatory knowledge: Working knowledge of governance, operational risk, consumer protection, technology, cybersecurity, and/or AML requirements relevant to digital-asset firms.
• Writing and delivery: Ability to interpret regulation, map obligations to controls, produce clear documentation, and coordinate contributors, evidence, dependencies, and deadlines.
• Communication and collaboration: Professional written and spoken English and the ability to work with clients, subject-matter experts, senior management, and regulators in a distributed team with reliable overlap with CET and CEST business hours.
• Additional qualifications: A relevant legal, compliance, risk, accounting, or information-security qualification or certification, or additional European or Middle Eastern language skills, is an advantage.

What we offer

• Remote work: Work remotely from Europe or a nearby time zone, with regular overlap with European business hours.
• Competitive compensation: A competitive base salary plus equity or token options where applicable.
• Professional growth: Direct exposure to EU, UAE, and global digital-asset authorisation projects, with support to deepen your Web3 regulatory expertise.
