Define and enforce the security architecture for AWS and Azure: organisation and landing-zone design, service control policies and Azure Policy, network segmentation and private connectivity, encryption and key management (AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault), logging and monitoring baselines.
Own the perimeter and edge: WAF and DDoS protection, VPN and zero-trust access, DNS, certificate, and exposure management for anything internet-facing.
Run vulnerability management end to end: asset discovery, scanning, prioritisation by exploitability and business impact, remediation SLAs tracked with the infrastructure team.
Design security into new infrastructure from the start: threat-model and review architecture changes, define secure patterns other engineers can reuse, and say “no” with a workable alternative when needed.
Own Active Directory: administrative tiering, privileged-group hygiene, Group Policy and Conditional Access baselines
Design and run the group access model: least privilege across AWS IAM, Azure RBAC, Kubernetes RBAC, databases, network devices and SaaS; single sign-on and phishing-resistant MFA everywhere; privileged access management with just-in-time elevation for administrators; tested break-glass procedures.
Own the security telemetry pipeline into the SIEM: AWS CloudTrail, AD and Entra sign-in and audit logs; EDR; Kubernetes audit logs; WAF, VPN, network and application logs. Decide what is collected, for how long and at what cost.
Treat security as code: Terraform modules with secure defaults; policy-as-code (Open Policy Agent, AWS Config rules, Azure Policy) enforced in pipelines and at runtime; drift detection and automatic remediation where safe.
Own API security for internal and client-facing APIs (REST, WebSocket, FIX and streaming market-data interfaces): authentication and authorisation patterns, token and key handling, rate limiting and abuse protection, gateway and WAF rules, schema validation, logging of security-relevant events.

Map technical controls to DORA: the ICT risk-management framework, the annual digital operational resilience testing programme (vulnerability assessments, penetration tests, scenario tests, readiness for threat-led penetration testing) and the technical inputs to the ICT third-party register.
Run security reviews of ICT third parties and cloud services. Maintain shared-responsibility and data-flow documentation.

Active Directory.
Deep, practical knowledge of AD — tiering, Group Policy, Conditional Access, hybrid identity, the common attack paths and how to close them — plus enterprise IAM and PAM design and access-rights governance.
Detection and response.
You have built and tuned SIEM and EDR detections, owned alerting quality and run security incidents end to end under time pressure. You understand how a Security Operations Center works from the inside — as well as what a SOC 2 report is.
Automation.

Evaluate and continuously map the group's end-to-end international tax exposure across all active and prospective jurisdictions, identifying treaty positions, permanent establishment risks, hybrid instrument mismatches, and anti-avoidance vulnerabilities.
Develop and maintain a group-wide tax risk register, quantifying the financial exposure and probability of crystallisation for each identified risk, and presenting findings to the CLO and CFO on a periodic basis.
Assess the tax consequences of the group's legal and operational structure — including the location of key management and control functions, the substance of each regulated entity, and the group's treaty residency positions — and recommend adjustments where risk exceeds tolerance.
Monitor and interpret legislative developments across all group jurisdictions — including BEPS Pillar Two (GloBE rules), ATAD I and II, DAC6, FATCA/CRS, and equivalent local anti-avoidance measures — and brief the group on implementation timelines and material impact.
Advise on the tax implications of group restructurings, new jurisdiction entries, entity mergers and wind-downs, and changes to intercompany ownership arrangements.
Intercompany Service Agreements & Transfer Pricing
Design, implement, and maintain a defensible transfer pricing framework for all intragroup transactions — including management fees, IP licensing arrangements, technology and platform access fees, back-office and administrative service charges, treasury lending, and brand contribution agreements — ensuring consistency with the group's overall operating model and value chain.
Prepare and own group-level transfer pricing documentation in line with the OECD Guidelines (Master File, Local Files, Country-by-Country Report where applicable), coordinating with local external advisers for jurisdiction-specific filings.
Review and advise on all intercompany agreements prior to execution, ensuring that pricing, payment terms, characterisation of services, and governing law are correctly reflected and consistently applied across the group.

Advise on the withholding tax implications of dividend flows from operating entities through intermediate holding structures to ultimate beneficial owners, including the availability and conditions for treaty-rate reductions and the impact of anti-conduit provisions.
Review and optimise the group's holding structure to minimise tax friction on upstream profit repatriation, having regard to treaty residence requirements, economic substance obligations (particularly in Seychelles, Mauritius, Vanuatu, and the Bahamas), and the interaction with BEPS minimum standards.
Evaluate free cash flow extraction strategies — including management fee arrangements, royalty flows, intercompany loans and interest, and return-of-capital mechanisms — for tax efficiency, regulatory compatibility, and defensibility; model the after-tax cost of each strategy for management.
Brief the CLO/CFO and, where appropriate, the Board on available profit extraction and capital optimisation scenarios, including the tax cost of each option and the reputational and regulatory risks associated with aggressive positions.
Advise on the tax treatment of shareholder loans, convertible instruments, and equity-linked arrangements at the level of the regulated holding entities.
Assess exit tax and deemed distribution consequences arising from changes to the group's holding structure or the migration of entities between jurisdictions.
Corporate Tax Compliance Oversight
Oversee the group's corporate income tax compliance calendar across all active jurisdictions, coordinating with external tax advisers and local finance teams to ensure accurate, timely filing and payment.
Review corporate income tax returns and computations for material entities; challenge positions taken by external advisers where appropriate; escalate material discrepancies or risks.

Maintain a group tax policy document and a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction effective tax rate model; report quarterly on variances from plan.

Liaise with local compliance teams, legal counsel, and external tax advisers to ensure that tax positions are consistent with each entity's regulatory capital, distribution, and profit-repatriation obligations under applicable licence conditions.

Corporate Governance
Maintain and continuously update the corporate governance frameworks for both regulated entities — covering board composition, director duties and conflicts of interest, quorum and voting requirements, shareholder rights, and written consent procedures under each entity's applicable corporate law.
Draft, review, and maintain all board resolutions, shareholder resolutions, unanimous written consents (UWCs), and formal meeting minutes; ensure resolutions are correctly framed, fully authorised, and filed with the relevant registry or regulator where required.
Manage all director and UBO change processes end-to-end — appointment and resignation documentation, regulatory pre-approval applications where the regulator requires prior notification, registry filings, and internal register updates.
Own the entity compliance calendar for both regulated entities: annual returns, licence renewal filings, good-standing certificates, share registry maintenance, registered office and registered agent obligations, and all statutory filing deadlines.
Advise on corporate restructuring, share transfers, ownership changes, and changes to group holding structure as they affect the two regulated entities, including the sequencing of regulatory notifications and approvals required before execution.
Maintain a live corporate record for each entity — capturing incorporation documents, licence copies, share register, director register, UBO declarations, and material corporate events — as a single source of truth for the division's legal and compliance function.
Manage relationships with registered agents, corporate services providers, and external corporate counsel across the relevant jurisdictions, including coordinating KYC/KYB renewals, reviewing mandates, and ensuring service quality.
Regulatory Licensing & Supervisory Relations
Own and manage all licensing obligations for the VASP authorisation and the EMI licence — including renewal applications, material change notifications, approved person filings, controller notifications, and any licence condition amendments required as the businesses evolve.
Maintain a live regulatory obligations register for each entity, mapping each licence condition and ongoing supervisory requirement to an owner, a deadline, and a current compliance status.
Advise on the regulatory perimeter as the businesses develop new products, enter new markets, or onboard new client segments — assessing whether new activities trigger additional authorisation requirements, notification obligations, or changes to existing licence conditions under the applicable VASP and EMI frameworks.
Draft, review, and update all regulatory submissions: business plan updates, fitness-and-propriety assessments, safeguarding arrangement attestations, prudential capital attestations, governance attestations, and any other documentation required for ongoing supervisory engagement.

Monitor legislative and regulatory developments in the VASP and EMI space — including MiCA implementation, FATF Recommendation 16 (Travel Rule) technical standards, and evolving EMI safeguarding requirements — and produce timely internal briefings on implementation obligations and timelines.
Payment Infrastructure — Legal & Partner Structuring
Lead the legal build-out and ongoing maintenance of the payment infrastructure for both entities: negotiate, draft, and manage agreements with correspondent banks, EMIs, payment service providers (PSPs), crypto exchanges, liquidity providers, on/off ramp partners, and custody providers.
Assess proposed banking and PSP terms for regulatory compatibility — including IBAN issuance rights, pass-through permissions, flow-of-funds authorisations, acceptable use policies governing crypto-related activity, sub-licensing restrictions, and settlement and reconciliation mechanics — flagging terms that create regulatory exposure or operational restriction for the entities.
Advise on the legal requirements and risk management framework for establishing and maintaining banking and payment relationships in the context of high-risk industry operations — including the legal structuring of enhanced due diligence representations, use-of-account undertakings, and contractual protections against unilateral de-risking.
Support the business on structuring new payment flows: multi-currency account architectures, crypto-to-fiat and fiat-to-crypto conversion arrangements, stablecoin settlement mechanics, cross-border remittance structures, and IBAN-based fiat clearing integrations — ensuring each proposed arrangement is legally and regulatorily sound before operational deployment.
Review and maintain master agreement packages for all banking and payment partnerships, including account operating agreements, correspondent banking agreements, technical API access agreements, sub-custody and safekeeping arrangements, and framework agreements with exchange and liquidity counterparties.
Advise on the legal treatment of client funds under the EMI safeguarding regime — including the selection and documentation of safeguarding methods, the legal structure of safeguarding accounts, and the obligations arising from changes in safeguarding asset composition.
AML/CFT Legal Framework & Financial Crime Compliance Support
Review and advise on the legal adequacy of the AML/CFT policy frameworks for both entities, ensuring alignment with applicable regulatory requirements — including the Travel Rule (FATF Recommendation 16) for the VASP entity and the EMI's obligations under the applicable money laundering regulations.
Advise on the legal aspects of client onboarding frameworks — KYC/KYB documentation requirements, politically exposed person (PEP) and sanctions screening obligations, source-of-funds and source-of-wealth evidencing requirements, and the legal basis for client acceptance and rejection decisions.
Review and advise on Travel Rule implementation: the legal requirements for originator and beneficiary data transmission, the selection of Travel Rule solution providers, and the contractual framework for inter-VASP data exchange.
Support the compliance team in responding to regulatory information requests, suspicious activity reporting queries, law enforcement inquiries, and financial intelligence unit (FIU) engagement on matters with a legal dimension.
Day-to-Day Regulated Entity Legal Support
Provide day-to-day legal support to the compliance, operations, product, and finance teams on questions arising under each entity's licence conditions, regulatory obligations, and corporate governance framework.
Review and approve client-facing terms and conditions, account agreements, fee schedules, onboarding documentation, and client classification procedures for both regulated entities, ensuring consistency with applicable regulatory requirements.
Draft, review, and maintain material commercial agreements — including institutional client agreements, introducing partner agreements, payment processing agreements, exchange connectivity agreements, and technology licensing arrangements — for both entities.
Advise on regulatory capital, prudential requirements, and safeguarding obligations for the EMI, including minimum capital thresholds, own funds calculations, and the legal implications of approaching or breaching regulatory capital floors.
Support the CLO on periodic and ad hoc regulatory reporting, supervisory submissions, and correspondence with the VASP supervisor and EMI regulator.
Obligatory

Solid corporate law foundation: comfortable drafting board resolutions and UWCs, managing director and UBO change filings, advising on director duties and shareholder rights, and maintaining statutory registers across common law jurisdictions.
Practical experience reviewing and negotiating payment infrastructure agreements — correspondent banking agreements, PSP terms, exchange connectivity agreements, and custody arrangements — particularly for clients or entities operating in high-risk industries.
Demonstrable familiarity with AML/CFT frameworks as applied to payment institutions and crypto asset service providers, including FATF Recommendation 16 (Travel Rule), virtual asset typologies, and the legal aspects of sanctions screening and PEP management.
