The Role:

Clear Street is seeking an experienced AML Officer to lead and oversee our Anti-Money Laundering program for digital asset clients. This is a senior individual-contributor role with program-ownership responsibility across KYC, KYB, and KYT onboarding and ongoing monitoring, as well as end-to-end management of transaction investigations and Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) filing determinations. The successful candidate will bring deep expertise in blockchain analytics — with hands-on proficiency in Chainalysis — and the regulatory acumen to operate in a global, multi-jurisdictional environment.

Responsibilities: 

Program Oversight

• Design, implement, and continuously improve the firm's KYC, KYB, and KYT frameworks for digital asset clients, ensuring alignment with FinCEN, OFAC, and applicable regulations.
• Conduct risk-based customer due diligence, including enhanced due diligence (EDD) for high-risk clients and ongoing transactional due diligence.
• Own ongoing monitoring workflows: periodic reviews, triggered reviews, and adverse media screening for the digital asset client population.
• Develop and maintain risk-based KYT policies governing transaction monitoring thresholds, risk scoring methodologies, and escalation protocols.
• Collaborate with Onboarding, Sales, and Legal to ensure client lifecycle processes are compliant, efficient, and scalable.

Transaction Investigations & SAR Filing

• Lead the end-to-end transaction investigation process: triage, investigation, escalation, and disposition of alerts generated by automated monitoring systems.
• Make well-reasoned, documented SAR filing determinations in compliance with BSA/FinCEN requirements, including timely preparation, review, and submission of SAR narratives.
• Establish and manage a robust case management workflow with clear SLAs, documentation standards, and quality-control checkpoints.
• Identify typologies and patterns and emerging risks in digital asset transaction activity to proactively refine investigation playbooks and alert logic.
