The Role:

Clear Street is seeking an experienced AML Officer to lead and oversee our Anti-Money Laundering program for digital asset clients. This is a senior individual-contributor role with program-ownership responsibility across KYC, KYB, and KYT onboarding and ongoing monitoring, as well as end-to-end management of transaction investigations and Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) filing determinations. The successful candidate will bring deep expertise in blockchain analytics — with hands-on proficiency in Chainalysis — and the regulatory acumen to operate in a global, multi-jurisdictional environment.

Responsibilities:

Program Oversight

  • Design, implement, and continuously improve the firm's KYC, KYB, and KYT frameworks for digital asset clients, ensuring alignment with FinCEN, OFAC, and applicable regulations.
  • Conduct risk-based customer due diligence, including enhanced due diligence (EDD) for high-risk clients and ongoing transactional due diligence.
  • Own ongoing monitoring workflows: periodic reviews, triggered reviews, and adverse media screening for the digital asset client population.
  • Develop and maintain risk-based KYT policies governing transaction monitoring thresholds, risk scoring methodologies, and escalation protocols.
  • Collaborate with Onboarding, Sales, and Legal to ensure client lifecycle processes are compliant, efficient, and scalable.

Transaction Investigations & SAR Filing

  • Lead the end-to-end transaction investigation process: triage, investigation, escalation, and disposition of alerts generated by automated monitoring systems.
  • Make well-reasoned, documented SAR filing determinations in compliance with BSA/FinCEN requirements, including timely preparation, review, and submission of SAR narratives.
  • Establish and manage a robust case management workflow with clear SLAs, documentation standards, and quality-control checkpoints.
  • Identify typologies and patterns and emerging risks in digital asset transaction activity to proactively refine investigation playbooks and alert logic.
  • Interface with law enforcement and regulators in response to subpoenas and other information requests.

Blockchain Analytics — Chainalysis

  • Serve as the firm's subject-matter expert for Chainalysis (KYT, Reactor, Business Data), driving implementation, configuration, and ongoing optimization.
  • Calibrate risk scoring models, custom alert rules, and exposure thresholds within Chainalysis to reflect the firm's risk appetite and client profile.
  • Partner with Technology and Operations to ensure seamless integration of Chainalysis outputs into the firm's broader transaction monitoring and case management infrastructure.
  • Monitor Chainalysis product updates and blockchain analytics developments, recommending program enhancements as needed.
  • Evaluate and integrate supplementary blockchain analytics tools (e.g., Elliptic, TRM Labs) as the program matures.

Qualifications

Required

  • Minimum 5 years of AML compliance experience with at least 5 years specifically focused on digital assets / virtual asset service providers (VASPs).
  • Hands-on, practitioner-level expertise with Chainalysis products (KYT and Reactor required; Business Data a strong plus); including implementation, configuration, alert rule-writing, and risk calibration. This is a mandatory requirement.
  • Deep understanding of BSA, FinCEN regulations (including the NPRM for unhosted wallets), OFAC sanctions programs, and FATF guidance as applied to digital assets.
  • Demonstrated experience conducting complex transaction investigations in a digital asset context and drafting SAR narratives.
  • Proven ability to build or materially enhance an AML program, including policy and procedure development.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret on-chain data, entity exposure, and transaction flow in the context of AML risk.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to document complex investigations clearly and present to senior stakeholders.

Preferred

  • Global AML experience across multiple jurisdictions (EU/MiCA, UK FCA, APAC, UAE/DFSA, or similar) strongly preferred.
  • Experience supporting regulatory examinations or enforcement matters in the digital asset context.
  • Prior experience at a prime broker, FCM, exchange, or custodian serving institutional digital asset clients.
  • Knowledge of DeFi, NFT, and cross-chain bridging risk typologies.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
