Job Description

At CoinJar, we've made cryptocurrency useful and accessible to clients for over a decade. Established in Australia in 2013, CoinJar has since built a trusted platform where retail and professional clients alike benefit from intuitive tools to buy, sell, spend and trade cryptocurrency. Following our successful Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) registration, CoinJar has now launched in Ireland. CoinJar operates through local subsidiaries in Australia, the United Kingdom and Ireland (CoinJar Europe Limited).

The group takes a compliance-first approach when it comes to growing our business into new jurisdictions and adhering to new regulations. This entails building relationships with local regulators and obtaining local licenses wherever it operates or aims to operate. Currently CoinJar is seeking a Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCAR) licence and building out its EU team from Dublin.

About the Role
CoinJar is now seeking an experienced and qualified candidate for Head of Compliance (PCF-12) to join our Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) in Ireland. This role is crucial in ensuring our compliance with the MiCAR framework in Ireland and Europe, while harmonising these regulations into the larger CoinJar group internationally. You will be a key member of the leadership team, reporting directly to the CEO, and will be responsible for developing and implementing a robust compliance framework.

The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in shaping our financial strategy and ensuring our CASP meets the highest standards of regulatory compliance in the evolving crypto-asset landscape.

  • Provide compliance training and guidance to employees.

  • Develop and maintain compliance policies and procedures.

  • Deliver regulatory filings and reports with accuracy and timeliness.

  • Preparation of regular management information and reports for governance forums to the management and Board.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in law, finance, or a related field.

  • 6+ years of experience in a compliance leadership role, preferably in the financial services or cryptocurrency industry.

  • Strong knowledge of Irish and EU financial regulations, including AML/CFT, KYC, and data protection.

  • Experience in developing and implementing compliance programs.

  • Ability to work independently as part of the founding startup team in Ireland, supported by the global CoinJar group.

  • Professional certifications such as CAMS (Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist) or similar are desirable.

  • Able to abide by the CBI standards and fulfil the fitness and probity test of the regulator.

Benefits

  • Dynamic work environment within a global platform
  • Innovative company looking to grow globally
  • Flexible working arrangements
