Youâll play a pivotal role in helping our customers meet their regulatory and financial crime compliance obligations. This includes deep engagement with financial institutions, crypto native businesses, regulators, and cross-functional internal teams to ensure our tools, strategies, and guidance reflect the highest standards of complianceâacross areas like anti-money laundering (AML), sanctions, KYC, and broader financial crime risk.
With accelerating demand from financial institutions entering the market, increasing regulatory engagement globally, and growing momentum with financial institutions, weâre at an inflection point. Weâre seeking an additional Compliance Advisor to help us keep pace with our opportunity set and meet the rising complexity and scale of our work. This role will report into the Head of Compliance Advisory and partner cross-functionally with go-to-market, product, policy, and customer success teams.
The impact youâll have here:
Support customers in navigating complex compliance-related inquiries and building compliance controls, particularly as our footprint expands in key markets
Build credibility and trust with compliance leaders at global financial institutions, accelerating adoption across APAC and North America
Anticipate and adapt to evolving financial crime and regulatory landscapesâensuring our customers receive accurate, actionable insight on everything from AML controls to emerging laundering typologies
Deliver clear, consistent guidance that empowers both our internal teams and external stakeholders to uphold robust financial crime compliance standards
Represent our platform in high-stakes conversations with regulators, banking partners, and policy influencersâbringing a strong, informed perspective on financial crime risk and compliance integrity
What weâre looking for:
4+ years of experience in AML compliance roles within large financial institutions
Thorough understanding of the different functions within a financial crime compliance program inclusive of risk assessments, KYC, transaction monitoring, and sanctions, including workflows, challenges, effectiveness strategies, and key regulatory issues
Experience advising stakeholders on how to interpret and meet their regulatory obligations
Global regulatory fluency, with working knowledge of key frameworks in the APAC, US, and/or EMEA
Experience supporting and/or leading engagements with financial institutions, regulators, or government bodies
A practical and scalable approach to complianceâyouâre thoughtful about risk, but not dogmatic
Excellent communication skills and sound judgment; able to operate autonomously with influence and credibility across senior external stakeholders
A low-ego, highly collaborative teammate who thrives in cross-functional environments
Fluency in another language is a plus
Willingness to travel to speak at conferences in multiple regions
About the Team:
Our Compliance Advisory team is a globally distributed group of experts with backgrounds in financial institutions, regulatory bodies, and high-growth technology companies. We operate at the intersection of compliance, product, and customer engagementâhelping some of the most innovative businesses in the world meet their regulatory obligations without slowing down. Each team member brings deep financial crime expertise and a strong sense of ownership to a highly collaborative, fast-moving environment.
We maintain alignment through weekly global syncs, cross-functional risk reviews, and focused huddles when high-stakes issues arise. In between, we rely heavily on written communicationâSlack, Notion, and Loomâto ensure weâre moving quickly and staying on the same page. Our team culture is anchored in clarity, responsiveness, and shared accountability. We value curiosity, strong judgment, and a bias toward practical solutions.
As a globally distributed team, members may observe different timezones, however, this role will be mostly APAC coverage with occasional overlap for other timezones.
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
We identify emerging regulatory changes in a key market and deliver internal guidance within 48 hours.
For example, when a new AML directive is released, we quickly analyze its relevance, brief GTM and product stakeholders, and share a synthesized summary with action recommendationsâall before competitors begin reacting
We don't wait for someone to ask; we anticipate, package, and deliver with velocity and clarity
We support a financial institutionâs onboarding by building a tailored control framework proposal in 5 days.
Rather than getting bogged down in red tape, we pull from prior engagements, adapt our templates, and proactively flag potential concerns to speed up adoption and reduce friction in compliance reviews
We meet institutional expectations without slowing down commercial momentum
We jump into regulatory conversations on short notice, even without perfect prep.
When a regulator requests a briefing on how our platform supports sanctions screening, we coordinate internally and deliver a thoughtful, compliance-forward perspective the same week
We value precisionâbut in a high-growth environment, velocity matters. We iterate and improve fast, rather than delay
Â
We are building a safer world. That promise shows up in how we work every day.
TRM runs fast. Really fast. Weâre a highâvelocity, highâownership team that expects clarity, followâthrough, and impact. People who thrive here are energized by hard problems, experimentation, and direct feedback. If something takes months elsewhere, it often ships here in days.
That pace isnât for everyone. If you are optimizing primarily for consistent work-life balance, use the interview process to pressure-test fit. We want teammates who thrive here, not just survive here.
AI fluency is a baseline expectation at TRM.
We believe AI meaningfully changes how top performers operate. We expect every team member to use AI to accelerate and reimagine their craft, not just automate surface tasks.
At TRM, AI fluency means you are among the top 10 percent of operators in your function in how you apply AI to:
Accelerate repeatable workflows
Structure and solve problems
Improve output quality
Increase speed and leverage
You will be evaluated on applied AI fluency during the interview process.
