- • Coach and collaborate with colleagues across the Intelligence function, contribute to cross-functional initiatives with Product, Engineering, and Customer teams, and represent Elliptic's capabilities to clients, regulators, and industry partners.
- • Serve as the go-to SME on global sanctions regimes, applying expertise independently to resolve complex analytical questions and produce reliable outputs without requiring senior oversight on domain-level judgements.
- • Own and document a comprehensive coverage framework for global sanctions designation regimes.
- • Lead end-to-end investigations into cryptoasset exposure to sanctioned entities, state-linked actors, high-risk jurisdictions, and evasion networks, owning the full project lifecycle from scoping through to final output.

- • Represent Elliptic's sanctions intelligence at industry events, client briefings, and regulatory engagements.
🎯 Requirements
- • Significant professional experience as an intelligence analyst, investigator, or compliance specialist in sanctions compliance, financial crime, law enforcement, or the crypto industry.
- • Demonstrated, independent subject matter expertise in global sanctions regimes, including practical knowledge of OFAC, UK, EU, and UN frameworks and the operational distinctions between autonomous designating authorities and supranational regimes.
- • Experience designing or improving monitoring and alerting frameworks, triage processes, or investigation playbooks in a compliance or intelligence context.
- • Proven ability to identify systemic coverage risks and drive durable remediation, including process improvement and automation planning.
- • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of producing high-quality, stakeholder-ready outputs independently and to deadline.
- • Proficiency with blockchain analytics tools, open-source intelligence (OSINT), corporate registries, and adverse media sources.
- • AI fluency is essential for this role. You must be able to demonstrate your ability to effectively apply AI tools and approaches relevant to intelligence analysis, including using AI to accelerate research workflows, pattern identification, OSINT processing, and the drafting of written outputs.
