Job Description

At Anchorage Digital, we are building the world’s most advanced digital asset platform for institutions to participate in crypto.

Anchorage Digital is a crypto platform that enables institutions to participate in digital assets through custody, staking, trading, governance, settlement, and the industry's leading security infrastructure. Home to Anchorage Digital Bank N.A., the first federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S., Anchorage Digital also serves institutions through Anchorage Digital Singapore, Porto by Anchorage Digital, and other offerings.

The company is funded by leading institutions including Andreessen Horowitz, GIC, Goldman Sachs, KKR, and Visa, with its Series D valuation over $3 billion. Founded in 2017 in San Francisco, California, Anchorage Digital has offices in New York, New York; Porto, Portugal; Singapore; and Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

With the evolving landscape of digital threats and an increasing volume of sophisticated attacks by malicious actors, we have a security policy mandating all new hires complete an in-person onboarding process - no exceptions.

Here, you will gain deep exposure to diverse compliance domains and apply your data expertise to strengthen Anchorage Digital’s global compliance function through analytics, automation, and the strategic use of AI tools.

To excel in our fast-paced environment, you must be well-organized, highly analytical, and adept at navigating rapid change and uncertainty. If you are a proactive, detail-oriented, and innovative problem-solver who can effectively manage competing priorities in a fluid setting, this role is designed for you.
