Job description

Cybrid is a Series A fintech startup building the next generation of crypto-powered global payments infrastructure. Our platform enables fintechs, banks, and enterprises to launch compliant, scalable, and global payment solutions with one API. We bridge the gap between traditional financial rails and blockchain-native payments, helping partners launch faster, bank faster, and pay faster using stablecoins and Bitcoin.

With deep expertise across crypto, security, banking, and payments, our team has scaled fintech platforms before and now we’re taking the Cybrid platform worldwide.

The Opportunity

We\'re hiring a Compliance Analyst to support the ongoing operation, monitoring, and continuous improvement of Cybrid’s compliance programs. This role is hands-on and execution-focused, working closely with the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), Compliance Manager and internal partners to ensure regulatory requirements are met and risks are identified early.

This is an ideal role for someone with solid compliance experience who is comfortable operating in a fast-moving fintech environment and exercising sound judgment in ambiguous situations.

What You’ll Do

Program Maintenance & Monitoring

• Plan, conduct, and complete risk-based investigations arising from KYC reviews, adverse media screening, transaction monitoring alerts, and Unusual Transaction Reports (UTRs).
• Maintain accurate, well-documented records of investigative actions, decisions, and supporting rationale.
• Monitor day-to-day compliance activities and identify issues, anomalies, or emerging trends, escalating findings to the CCO as appropriate.

Policy & Procedure Administration

• Support the implementation and enforcement of compliance policies, procedures, and internal controls across the business.
• Participate in regular reviews of policy documentation to ensure accuracy, version control, and employee acknowledgment.
• Help translate policies into practical, usable guidance for day-to-day operations.
• Perform routine assessments of internal controls, fraud controls, and operational or process changes to identify control gaps.
• Document findings, recommend remediation actions, and track follow-up activities.
• Support the CCO in building business cases for compliance and control improvements.

Reporting & Insight

• Prepare compliance dashboards, metrics, and status reports for senior leadership.
• Monitor regulatory developments and assist in assessing their impact on Cybrid’s products, operations, and partnerships.
• Contribute to turning compliance data into clear, actionable insights.

Projects & Continuous Improvement

• Collaborate on cross-functional process improvement initiatives to embed compliance best practices.
• Support special projects, regulatory initiatives, or investigations as assigned by the CCO.
• Contribute to the ongoing development of scalable, well-controlled compliance processes.

What You Bring

Required Skills & Experience:

• 3+ years of experience in a compliance, regulatory, or risk role within payments or financial services (fintech or crypto experience strongly preferred).
• Hands-on experience supporting AML/ATF programs, with familiarity across RPAA, FINTRAC, FINCEN, and OSC requirements.
• Strong investigative and analytical skills, with the ability to assess risk and apply sound judgment.
• Bachelor’s degree in Law, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field.
• Ability to communicate complex regulatory concepts in clear, practical, and actionable terms.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Proven problem-solving skills, with a focus on identifying root causes and pragmatic solutions.
• Familiarity with the fintech and cryptocurrency industry, including its regulatory landscape and operational risks.

Nice to Have (Assets):

• Experience supporting change management, including the design or implementation of compliance systems such as transaction monitoring, screening, or case management tools.
• Professional certifications such as CAMS or CRCM.
