We’re looking to hire a Compliance Analyst to join the Compliance team at BitGo Custody MENA.
This is a junior to mid-level role designed for someone who’s eager to grow in a fast-paced, regulated virtual asset environment.
The role will support day-to-day compliance operations, assist with onboarding reviews, and help maintain the firm’s AML/CFT program in line with the UAE’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) requirements.
This is a hands-on compliance position, so attention to detail, ownership, and a strong sense of accountability are key.
The ideal candidate is someone who is familiar with virtual asset regulatory frameworks, client due diligence processes, and can support regulatory filings, risk reviews, and controls testing with minimal handholding.
BitGo Custody MENA is licensed by VARA in Dubai and operates in a fully regulated environment.
This role will give you the chance to be part of building one of the region’s leading digital asset custodians from the ground up, while working alongside experienced compliance professionals in a supportive and high-accountability culture.
Key Responsibilities
- Assist with institutional and individual onboarding reviews, including screening, documentation verification, and risk classification.
- Support the execution of the firm’s AML/CTF framework, including ongoing monitoring, transaction reviews, and control testing.
- Conduct Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) on high-risk clients, including preparation of risk memos and escalation packs where needed.
- Monitor and maintain client risk profiles, ensuring timely updates and reviews in line with internal policies.
- Support regulatory reporting requirements, including monthly and quarterly filings to VARA and any ad-hoc submissions.
- Liaise with internal teams (sales, operations, product) to resolve compliance-related issues.
- Maintain compliance registers and internal trackers.
- Assist with preparing documentation for audits, regulatory inspections, and internal reviews.
- Stay updated on regulatory changes and help with implementing policy updates accordingly.
Preferred Qualifications
- 1–3 years of experience in a compliance, onboarding, or AML role—preferably within financial services, a fintech, or a VASP.
- Solid understanding of AML/CTF principles, risk-based approaches, and client due diligence.
- Experience handling high-risk client reviews, institutional onboarding, or regulatory reporting is a plus.
- Familiarity with UAE’s regulatory environment, especially VARA, is a strong advantage.
- Strong research and writing skills (e.g., preparing EDD memos or summary reviews).
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced and evolving regulatory space.
- Professional fluency in English is required; Arabic is a plus.
- Nice to Have
- Experience with tools like Persona, Elliptic, TRM, or other compliance systems.
- Prior exposure to blockchain analytics or crypto-related risks.
- Understanding of global regulatory frameworks.
- CAMS or other relevant compliance certifications.
