The crypto industry is evolving at a rapid pace, and with innovation comes responsibility. As digital assets become increasingly integrated into global financial systems, regulatory compliance is no longer optional—it's foundational. At the forefront of this transformation stands OKX, a leading cryptocurrency exchange and developer of the OKX Wallet, empowering millions worldwide to access crypto trading and decentralized applications (dApps). With a strong commitment to safety, transparency through Proof of Reserves, and institutional trust, OKX is shaping the future of finance.
Within this dynamic environment, the Product Advisory Compliance team plays a pivotal role in ensuring that every product launched meets rigorous legal and regulatory standards. To strengthen this mission, OKX is seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented Compliance Manager (Product Compliance)—a professional who thrives in fast-paced, cross-functional settings and is passionate about the intersection of innovation and regulation.
Why This Role Matters
In the world of crypto, where new products emerge daily, proactive compliance isn’t just about risk mitigation—it's about enabling sustainable growth. The Compliance Manager will serve as an operational backbone for the Product Advisory Compliance team, ensuring that risk assessments are thorough, documentation is audit-ready, and stakeholder alignment is seamless across Product, Engineering, Legal, and Risk teams.
This role bridges the gap between policy and execution, translating complex regulatory expectations into actionable workflows that support secure and compliant product development.

Core Responsibilities
1. Manage Product Compliance Workflows
You’ll implement end-to-end compliance review processes for new and existing products. This includes setting service level agreements (SLAs), coordinating with stakeholders across departments, and maintaining complete documentation and audit trails. Your work ensures accountability and traceability at every stage of product development.
2. Support Risk Assessment Processes
A key function involves supporting the creation and optimization of Compliance Risk Assessments. You’ll gather inputs from product teams, prepare standardized risk templates, and follow up to ensure timely completion. These assessments help identify potential regulatory exposures before products go live.
3. Maintain Comprehensive Compliance Documentation
From mapping regulatory requirements to drafting escalation memos and recording outcomes of product reviews, your role ensures that all compliance activities are well-documented. This not only supports internal governance but also prepares the organization for external audits and regulatory scrutiny.
4. Prepare Governance Reporting Materials
You’ll assist in compiling reports for compliance committees and governance forums. These materials provide leadership with insights into current risks, control effectiveness, and areas requiring intervention—helping drive strategic decision-making.
5. Monitor Controls Implementation
Tracking open issues and action items related to product compliance integration is critical. You’ll monitor progress on remediation efforts, escalate delays when necessary, and ensure that controls are effectively embedded into product lifecycles.
6. Collaborate on Key Risk Indicators (KRIs)
Working closely with Product and Central Compliance teams, you’ll help design and build meaningful KRIs—metrics that proactively signal potential compliance risks. These indicators allow OKX to respond early to emerging threats.
7. Serve as a Cross-Functional Liaison
As a connector between Compliance Managers and other departments—including Product, Engineering, Legal, and Risk—you’ll facilitate communication, clarify requirements, and ensure alignment across teams. Your ability to translate compliance needs into practical steps will be instrumental in accelerating product delivery without compromising standards.
