Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • Own the end-to-end EU expansion roadmap for Coins.ph, translating complex regulatory landscapes into a clear, prioritized licensing pipeline across France, Luxembourg, Germany and the Netherlands.
- • Conduct deep-dive jurisdictional scans that go beyond black-letter law: map political appetite for crypto, regulator bandwidth, local banking sentiment, talent availability and fintech ecosystem maturity to produce a single "market-readiness" score for each country.
- • Translate MiCA, AML 6th Directive, EBA guidelines and national VASP decrees into concise, decision-ready briefs for the CEO and Board; highlight timing windows, passporting advantages and hidden compliance costs that could shift our launch sequence.
- • Build and maintain a living database of EMI, CASP and MiCA licensing requirements, including capital thresholds, fit-and-proper tests, local substance rules and safeguarding obligations; automate red-flag alerts when regulations change.
- • Design a repeatable benchmarking framework that scores each jurisdiction on 25 weighted criteria (regulatory clarity, speed to license, ongoing compliance burden, banking partner depth, tax efficiency, crypto adoption); present quarterly heat-maps to steer resource allocation.
- • Drive the licensing application lifecycle: draft project charters, coordinate external counsel, manage document check-lists and ensure internal owners hit every pre-submission milestone from local director appointments to safeguarding account setup.
- • Forge relationships with tier-1 EU banks, payment processors and crypto custodians; negotiate term sheets that satisfy both regulator expectations and Coins.ph’s product roadmap for fiat ramps, SEPA connectivity and card issuing.
- • Translate regulatory constraints into product requirements for engineering, risk and compliance teams; for example, specify wallet segregation logic, travel-rule data fields and real-time AML screening thresholds that satisfy both BaFin and ACPR expectations.
- • Act as the single source of truth for cross-functional squads (legal, product, finance, tax, treasury) by hosting weekly war-rooms, maintaining a regulatory FAQ wiki and publishing fortnightly briefs that keep 50+ stakeholders aligned.
- • Prepare Board-level investment cases: model licensing costs (capital, legal, audit, local staff) against projected market share and ARR to secure budget for each wave of applications.
- • Represent Coins.ph at industry working groups, EBA consultations and crypto policy roundtables; feed regulator sentiment back into strategy so we stay two steps ahead of rule changes.
- • Continuously scan for M&A or partnership opportunities (licensed EMI shells, distressed crypto firms with EU authorizations) and run rapid buy-vs-build analyses.
- • Build a 12-month regulatory horizon calendar that flags consultation deadlines, implementation dates and grandfathering clauses; ensure the business never misses a transition window.
- • Mentor junior analysts on regulatory research methodologies, risk-weighted scoring and stakeholder communication, raising the overall strategic capability of the CEO Office.
🎯 Requirements
- • 5–7 years in strategy, product or project management within fintech, payments or crypto, with at least two EU licensing projects delivered end-to-end.
- • Demonstrated mastery of EMI, VASP and CASP frameworks under EBA, MiCA, PSD2 and relevant national implementations.
- • Proven ability to synthesize cross-border regulatory texts and convert them into actionable business requirements.
- • Strong stakeholder management skills with experience presenting to C-suite and external regulators.
- • Nice-to-have: prior work with compliance consultants or law firms on financial licensing; hands-on knowledge of SEPA, PSD2 APIs and TARGET2 settlement.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Fully remote role with flexible hours across EU time zones, plus quarterly on-sites in vibrant Southeast Asia hubs.
- • Competitive compensation package including performance bonus tied to successful license approvals.
- • Annual learning stipend for certifications (e.g., ICA, ACAMS, MiCA executive courses) and attendance at premier fintech conferences.
