I’m currently recruiting for a Senior Consultant to join a growing Digital Finance practice, with a particular focus on cryptoasset regulation and compliance.

• Financial promotions and conduct risk
• Prudential and operational resilience
• Custody, client assets and technology controls
• Market integrity and conflicts of interest
• Compliance monitoring, assurance and remediation

You’ll also have significant exposure to senior stakeholders, leading workshops, producing regulatory submissions and reports, managing project workstreams and contributing to the development of the wider cryptoasset proposition.

What we're looking for

You’ll ideally have:

• Practical experience working within or advising the cryptoasset sector
• Strong knowledge of the evolving UK cryptoasset regulatory framework
• Experience translating regulatory requirements into practical policies, controls and governance arrangements
• Experience across one or more of regulatory applications, regulatory change, compliance/risk frameworks, financial crime or assurance
• Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills
• Strong project-management and organisational ability
• The confidence to exercise judgement and challenge senior stakeholders constructively

Experience with MiCA, FCA engagement, financial promotions, blockchain analytics, Travel Rule, custody/wallet infrastructure, payments, e-money or banking would also be highly advantageous. xwzovoh

You don't need to be an expert across every aspect of the emerging regulatory framework - strong grounding in cryptoasset regulation and the ability to continue developing your expertise is what matters.
