Chief Compliance Officer

Remote - USA Only

At Coinme, we’re redefining access to financial services in a digital world. By combining the cutting-edge power of blockchain technology with everyday simplicity, we make digital currencies accessible and usable for all.

As the world's largest network of cryptocurrency kiosks with over 40,000 locations nationwide, we're breaking down barriers to crypto adoption through our seamless mobile app, secure digital wallet, and DeFi integrations. Beyond our consumer offerings, we're also the infrastructure powering the crypto revolution for businesses.

Through our enterprise Crypto-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform, we enable businesses to launch crypto capabilities in weeks, not months. Our modular, API-first infrastructure provides everything from KYC and payment processing to liquidity and custody solutions—all fully licensed and compliant.

We’re big enough to lead the charge in decentralized finance but small enough that your ideas will make waves. Every role at Coinme contributes to building a financial future where everyone has the tools to thrive. At Coinme, your growth fuels our mission. Together, we RISE.

Position Summary:

We are seeking an accomplished Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) to lead Coinme’s global compliance operations as a core member of the executive leadership team. The CCO will serve as the company’s senior-most compliance authority, advising the CEO, Board of Directors, and executive leadership on regulatory strategy, enterprise risk, and international expansion.

This role requires a seasoned executive with deep expertise in U.S. and cross-border financial regulation, AML/BSA strategy, and the development of scalable compliance environments. The CCO will own enterprise-wide compliance decision-making, set strategic direction, and ensure the company maintains the highest standards of regulatory integrity as it continues to grow.

Serving as the organization's Chief Compliance Officer, you will have deep expertise in international remittances, cross-border regulatory frameworks, and multi-jurisdictional compliance, with a proven track record of expanding financial services operations internationally. You will be part of the executive leadership team, a key advisor to the CEO and Board, and responsible for setting the company-wide compliance strategy.

The CCO will be responsible for oversight over Coinme's Anti-Money Laundering Program, OFAC, and Identity Verification Programs while supporting our international expansion. Working closely with our General Counsel on licensing and regulatory matters, the CCO will be responsible for building scalable compliance frameworks that support global growth while empowering a culture of compliance throughout the organization.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
