About the Opportunity
OKX is hiring a Senior Compliance Officer to build and run our global derivatives trade and transaction reporting function. The function covers CFTC swap data reporting under Part 45, EU transaction reporting under MiFIR, EU derivatives reporting under EMIR, UK MiFIR and UK EMIR, and ASIC derivative transaction reporting across multiple OKX entities and a growing derivatives product set. These regimes have different scopes, reporting parties, data requirements and destinations. You will determine how they apply to OKX’s activities and help build a reliable process for meeting each obligation.
Most of the work is data and judgment: deciding what is reportable, by which entity, and to whom, then making sure the right trade and lifecycle data reaches the right swap data repository, trade repository, or regulator on time and reconciles to our trading records. You will own reporting scoping/eligibility, submission monitoring, and the controls that show our reports are complete, accurate, and timely.
This is a hands-on Compliance leadership role. You will work with Trading, Product, Engineering, Data, Legal, local Compliance teams and reporting providers, and you will lead regulatory change in this space. Responsibilities for source data, systems, submissions and remediation will be agreed across those teams; you will lead the compliance framework and stay close enough to the process to identify and proactively resolve problems. You will report to the Head of Markets and Product Compliance and support a central function that owns reporting interpretation, scoping, oversight, and remediation for every entity in scope.
What You’ll Be Doing
-
Interpret and apply derivatives and transaction reporting rules across global regimes, including CFTC Part 45, MiFIR Article 26, EMIR Article 9, UK MiFIR, UK EMIR, and the ASIC Derivative Transaction Rules (Reporting) 2024, exercising independent technical judgment, supported by Legal and outside counsel.
-
Own and maintain entity, product, and transaction-level reporting scoping and eligibility: which entity reports, which products and lifecycle events are in scope, which counterparty role triggers the obligation, and which repository or authority receives the report.
-
Oversee, support, and help maintain the daily reporting process. Monitor submissions against deadlines, including T+1 for MiFIR transaction reports, investigate rejections and breaks, and track each one to resolution.
-
Reconcile reported activity to trading records and repository data, and coordinate corrections and back-reporting with the teams that own the relevant systems and data.
-
Define and maintain the reporting data specification with Engineering and Data, including field-level mapping, reference data such as LEIs, UTIs, UPIs, and ISINs, and the validation rules applied before submission.
-
Build and run the control framework: completeness, accuracy, and timeliness checks, exception management, management information, and records that hold up to regulator and audit review.
-
Drive reporting readiness and remediation. Assess new derivatives products, new entities, and regulatory changes, identify control gaps, agree on owners and deadlines across Compliance, Operations, Product, and Engineering, and track delivery.
-
Escalate material issues. Assess the impact of reporting errors, escalate to senior management, and support notifications to regulators where required.
-
Manage relationships with swap data repositories, trade repositories, approved reporting mechanisms, and reporting vendors, including onboarding, testing, and service issues.
-
Hands-on leader. Build a small team, and coordinate with and train local compliance leads.
-
Support independent testing by Compliance Monitoring, Risk, and Internal Audit, and support regulator inquiries with complete, reproducible records.
What We Look For In You
-
A degree in finance, economics, law, data science, or computer science, or an equivalent professional qualification
-
7+ years in trade reporting, transaction reporting, or regulatory reporting at an exchange, broker, bank, trading firm, fintech, or digital asset platform
-
Deep working knowledge of at least two of the following regimes: CFTC swap data reporting, MiFIR transaction reporting, EMIR, UK MiFIR, UK EMIR, and ASIC derivative transaction reporting. Hands-on experience with both a US and a European regime is strongly preferred.
-
A sound understanding of derivatives trade lifecycles and the data needed to report executions, changes, terminations and, where applicable, valuations and collateral.
-
The ability to interrogate large datasets, investigate reporting breaks and explain clear requirements to engineers and other business partners. SQL or comparable data analysis skills are highly desirable.
-
Experience building or improving a reporting framework, including procedures, reconciliations, exception management and evidence that can withstand regulatory or audit scrutiny; this may include remediating historical reporting errors, including back-reporting.
-
The judgment to make proportionate risk decisions, escalate material issues and lead delivery across teams without relying on a single team to own every part of the reporting process.
-
Experience with digital asset derivatives, such as perpetual futures and options, and how they map to reporting product classifications
Nice to Haves
-
Experience leading a regulatory reporting change program, such as EMIR Refit, UK EMIR Refit, the CFTC reporting rewrite, or the ASIC 2024 rules.

Python or similar scripting for data validation, and experience with data warehouse tools such as Databricks.
