Who We Are
At OKX, we believe that the future will be reshaped by crypto, and ultimately contribute to every individual's freedom. OKX is a leading crypto exchange, and the developer of OKX Wallet, giving millions access to crypto trading and decentralized crypto applications (dApps). OKX is also a trusted brand by hundreds of large institutions seeking access to crypto markets. We are safe and reliable, backed by our Proof of Reserves. Across our multiple offices globally, we are united by our core principles: We Before Me, Do the Right Thing, and Get Things Done. These shared values drive our culture, shape our processes, and foster a friendly, rewarding, and diverse environment for every OK-er. OKX is part of OKG, a group that brings the value of Blockchain to users around the world, through our leading products OKX, OKX Wallet, OKLink and more.
About the Team:
The Compliance function at OKX is responsible for the overall compliance culture at the company. We’re a team of risk-minded problem solvers who advise the business on the company’s regulatory obligations and enterprise risk.
What You'll Be Doing:
The Compliance Manager serves as the critical link between the Issue Management lifecycle and the Firm’s Control Framework. This role is designed to ensure that remediation efforts are not just administrative exercises, but lead to the development of robust, sustainable controls. You will act as a "translator" between the Compliance teams who identify risks and the Product/Engineering teams who build the systems.
Your primary objective is to ensure that every compliance issue results in a strengthened control environment, preventing recurrence through better organizational design and technical automation. You are responsible for ensuring the firm has a robust library of controls and that when things break, the resulting fix is built into the permanent infrastructure of the company. You bridge the gap between Compliance Monitoring (finding gaps) and Business Operations (building the business).
Key Responsibilities:
-
Remediation Design & Advisory: Partner with business units to move beyond "quick fixes." You will help stakeholders design long-term controls (automated or manual) that directly address the root causes identified during the issue management process.
-
Control Mapping & Integration: Ensure every remediation action plan is mapped back to the Global Compliance Control Library. You will verify that new controls are properly documented, assigned owners, and integrated into the firm’s risk assessment tools.
-
Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Lead deep-dive RCA sessions for complex or recurring issues. You will provide the analytical "bridge" that explains why a control failed and what specific engineering or process change is required to fix it.
-
Organizational Alignment: Work closely with the Issue Management team to ensure that "Issue Closure" only happens once a control has been validated as effective, not just "implemented."
-
Optimization: Manage the technical linkage between Issue Management tickets and the Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platform. You will ensure data flows seamlessly between "Issues" and "Controls."
-
Control Validation Testing: Design the testing scripts used to validate that a newly developed control is working as intended before an issue is officially marked as remediated.
-
Thematic Reporting: Identify trends across multiple issues to suggest "horizontal" control improvements that could benefit multiple departments simultaneously.
-
Control Design & Consulting: Partnering with the business to build "Key Compliance Controls" (KCCs). You ensure that every control has a clear Objective (what are we stopping?), a Frequency (how often does it run?), and an Owner (who is responsible?).
-
Control Library Maintenance: Managing the "Source of Truth" (often a GRC tool or master spreadsheet) that lists every compliance control across the firm.
-
Design Effectiveness (DE) Assessment: Reviewing a control before it is even turned on to see if it is logically capable of stopping the risk. (e.g., "If this is a manual check, is the person actually qualified to spot the error?")
-
Operating Effectiveness (OE) Testing: Performing "sample testing" to see if the control actually worked over a period of time.
