About the Opportunity
The Americas Compliance team is hiring a Senior Compliance Manager to own compliance for OKXICE TSV. OKXICE TSV is the tokenized securities venue run by the OKX and Intercontinental Exchange joint venture under the SEC's Innovation Exemption, and it lets eligible US users trade tokenized US-listed stocks on-chain. You'll be the main person accountable for meeting the exemption's ongoing conditions. You'll work closely with Legal, Product, Web3 Risk Control and our AML, Sanctions and Surveillance teams. This is a new role on a new type of venue, so you'll help build the program as well as run it.
What You'll Be Doing

Own the compliance program for the venue's SEC exemption, including tracking each condition, testing controls and keeping records ready for regulatory examination.

Manage the venue's public notice: review revisions, control versions, and make sure the notice matches how the product actually works. This includes corrections and material-change filings within the required deadlines.
-
Run the issuer notice process from start to finish, including tracking delivery, handling objections and confirming each stock's listing date.
-
Track and monitor TSV limits on an ongoing basis, including per-stock and volume limits against consolidated market data, periodic tier rechecks, trading halts and eligible stablecoins. Escalate breaches, significant operational events and required SEC notifications.
-
Oversee participant onboarding and ongoing wallet maintenance and monitoring, including KYC/KYB, daily sanctions and on-chain wallet rescreening, keeping wallet-to-participant records current, and issuing and revoking the soulbound token (SBT) credential that grants access.
-
Report to the OKXICE LLC Board of Managers and to Americas Compliance leadership, and manage and develop a TSV Compliance Analyst.
