## Description (the employer's text)

Available in more than 100 countries — including the U.S., Europe, Latin America, and Africa — Strike is building a better financial system powered by Bitcoin. Bitcoin is better money. Strike is how you use it.

### Role

Strike is hiring a US Regulatory Compliance Lead to own and run our regulatory compliance program for our US operations. Reporting directly to the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), this is a rare startup role with high visibility and real autonomy: you’ll be both the hands-on operator driving the day-to-day work (licensing filings, evidence production, exam responses) and the program leader setting the strategy, operating cadence, and priorities that keep Strike in a strong regulatory compliance position as we scale.

You’ll lead key workstreams across state money transmitter licensing, MSB obligations, and lending-related licensing/compliance requirements (as applicable to our products), and you’ll be a primary point of contact for regulator engagement related to licensing and exams.

### Location: Remote - Americas (US Time Zone availability is a strict requirement)

### What you’ll do

- Own the end-to-end lifecycle of US MTLs: renewals, amendments, and reporting
- Administer licensing workflows in NMLS; own the licensing calendar and lead a cross-functional intake process—partnering with Legal, Finance, and Data to gather inputs, validate data, and complete required filings and reporting on time.
- Lead regulatory examinations: planning, request management, evidence production, written responses, and remediation tracking
- Maintain program governance: policies/procedures, monitoring/testing, and closed-loop issue management
- Own lending-related licensing and compliance obligations, including licensing maintenance, required reporting, and examination support.
- Coordinate independent AML/Sanctions audits and drive timely remediation
- Own and execute a Compliance Monitoring Program—design testing plans, perform/control testing, document results, and drive remediation to closure.
- Oversee our US compliance training program (new hire + annual + targeted refreshers)
- Prepare clear updates for Executive leadership/Board; improve workflows using automation/AI where appropriate
### What we’re looking for

- 6+ years regulatory compliance experience in financial services, payments/FinTech, or crypto
- High-output operator: you can personally draft regulator-ready narratives, build trackers, assemble evidence, and drive cross-functional follow-through.
- Proven experience building and maintaining a compliance governance program, including policies/procedures, monitoring/testing, issue management, and management/Board reporting.
- Deep hands-on experience with US state MTL licensing + MSB obligations and NMLS fluence
- Direct regulator and exam experience (including drafting responses and managing evidence)
- Strong writing, organization, and execution skills; comfortable driving work cross-functionally in a startup
- Working knowledge of state money transmitter laws, and strong familiarity with BSA/AML and OFAC regulations
- Familiarity with lending compliance/licensing considerations (e.g., TILA, ECOA, UDAAP/UDAP) is a plus
### Nice to Have

- Knowledge of the Bitcoin industry and willingness to gain expertise of the compliance nuances in the Bitcoin space.
- Lending license compliance experience (e.g., TILA, ECOA)
- Experience building compliance processes in a high-growth environment; comfort operating as a senior IC without a team.
- Demonstrated ability to leverage automation and AI to streamline evidence collection, tracking, and reporting while ensuring all processes remain auditable and defensible.
### US-Based Positions

- Salary range: $130,000 - $140,000
- Equity in a high-growth startup
- Health, dental, and vision insurance premium contributions; short & long-term disability insurance and basic life insurance
