Founded by seasoned traders and market makers, our team brings decades of combined experience across both traditional finance and digital asset markets, leveraging deep expertise to navigate sophisticated, fast-evolving digital markets. We execute systematic, quantitative trading, provide precise liquidity, and manage order books with discipline and sophistication. Our firm delivers value to venture capitalists, hedge funds, Web3 protocols, digital asset exchanges, and other industry leaders through advanced market insights, robust infrastructure, and global reach.
At Herring Global, innovation, collaboration, and excellence drive a culture where our people push boundaries, make strategic decisions, take bold action, and achieve superior results.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Compliance professional to join our Compliance function, working closely with and reporting to the Head of Compliance. As a Compliance Generalist, you will take ownership of core compliance activities across the end-to-end compliance lifecycle, supporting regulated digital-asset trading and related business activities.

In this role, you will be responsible for executing, maintaining, and continuously enhancing compliance controls, including counterparty due diligence, transaction monitoring, on-chain analysis, regulatory reporting support, audit coordination, and implementation of MAS regulatory requirements and internal policies. You will be expected to exercise sound judgement, manage issues independently, and partner closely with senior stakeholders across trading, technology, and operations.

This role provides deep exposure to cryptocurrency markets, trading operations, and regulatory compliance within a regulated digital-asset environment, with opportunities to take increasing ownership as the firm scales.

What You Will Do

• Own and manage counterparty onboarding and periodic reviews, acting as the primary point of contact for compliance-related matters.
• Independently assess, resolve, and where necessary, escalate onboarding, AML/CFT, or regulatory issues, including engagement with counterparties and internal stakeholders.
• Perform and oversee end-to-end KYC, CDD, and EDD processes, ensuring alignment with internal policies and MAS regulatory expectations.
• Conduct and review transaction monitoring, on-chain analysis, and wallet screening, including investigation and escalation of suspicious or unusual activities.
• Partner with trading, technology, and operations teams to design, implement, and enhance scalable compliance tools, controls, and workflows.
• Maintain and continuously improve compliance frameworks, procedures, and documentation to support regulatory requirements, audits, and internal governance.
• Support regulatory engagements, audits, inspections, and ad-hoc regulatory or risk initiatives.
• Contribute to fostering a strong compliance and risk culture across the organisation through training, guidance, and day-to-day advisory.

Who Should Apply?

• 3+ years of relevant experience in compliance, AML/CFT, or financial crime roles within financial services, Web3, or the digital-asset / cryptoasset industry.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Law, Finance, or a related discipline.
• Professional certifications (e.g. CAMS) are advantageous but not mandatory.
• Strong working knowledge of KYC/CDD/EDD requirements, transaction monitoring, and AML/CFT controls.
• Good understanding of corporate constitutional documents and complex ownership structures.
• Proven ability to exercise sound judgement, manage issues independently, and engage confidently with senior internal and external stakeholders.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; proficiency in an additional language is an advantage.
• Highly organised, detail‑oriented, and capable of structured problem‑solving.
• Self‑motivated and proactive, with a strong willingness to learn new tools and technologies (including on‑chain analytics).
• Interest in cryptocurrency markets and some practical experience in digital‑asset compliance.
• High standards of integrity, professionalism, and accountability, with a strong ownership mindset and a commitment to continuous learning and growth.

What We Offer

• A collaborative and dynamic work environment with a flat team structure.
• Opportunity to develop your pathway to a fulfilling career or into a specialist role as the company scales.
• Exposure to impactful projects that allow you to build both professional networks and practical experience.
• Competitive compensation commensurate with experience.
• A vibrant, supportive, and high‑performing team culture.
