• Act as the primary point of contact with Italian and EU regulators (e.g., OAM, CONSOB, Bank of Italy) for all compliance and AML / CTF matters.
• Support the licensing process for the MiCA CASP authorization and ensure readiness for ongoing supervisory reviews.
• Stay current on changes in EU financial regulation, particularly MiCA, MiFID II, and AML regulations, and ensure internal policies are updated accordingly.
• Provide regular training to staff on compliance, AML / CTF, and regulatory obligations.
• Advise senior leadership on compliance risks and strategic regulatory matters related to digital asset services in the EU.
• Oversee and / or perform compliance testing and internal audits as necessary.

• Excellent working knowledge of Italian and EU regulatory frameworks, and ability to liaise with regulators.
• Fluent in Italian and English (written and verbal).
