About MoonPay

Hi, we're MoonPay. We're here to onboard the world to Web3. What we do: We're the leading infrastructure company in Web3. This means we offer our partners everything from payment solutions (we call them 'Ramps') to minting software for digital collectibles, like NFTs. And over 20 million people around the world now trust our products — just take a look on Trustpilot. We're also big on collaborations. We've worked on stunts, drops, and partnerships with some of the world's most prestigious and forward-thinking brands. But that's not all. We have also built our own consumer app because we wanted to see if we could build a better Web3 account. It's taken off in a big way, and we're working hard to continually improve it and strive for perfection. So whatever your background, we're sure there's something for you here. Come help us build the future of Web3 and digital ownership.

Most importantly, though, you will embody the core principles that everyone here at MoonPay lives by. Our "BLOCK Values" are at the heart of everything we do - and they are…

1. B - Be Humble
2. L - Lead with Empathy
3. O - Own It
4. C - Communicate with Clarity
5. K - Kaizen

What you will need

1. Previous working experience in Financial Crime / Compliance analytical / investigations role(s), for at least 2 years, preferably in TM / FIU and / or Screening.
2. ACAMS / ACFCS or ICA accreditation.
3. Wallet screening experience (Chainalysis, TRM, Elliptic, CipherTrace, Scorechain).
4. Attention to detail.
5. To take MoonPay values at heart.
6. To be comfortable making sound, evidence-based decisions and recommendations.
7. To be positive and open-minded.
8. A fluency in English.
9. To love what you do!

Research has shown that women are less likely than men to apply for this role if they do not have experience in % of these areas. Please know that this list is indicative, and that we would still love to hear from you even if you feel that you are only a 75% match. Skills can be learnt, diversity cannot.
