Compliance Analyst

About Crown

We exist to make money work better. That means eliminating the friction of integrating the Brazilian Real into the blockchain economy without sacrificing trust, safety, or compliance.

With the conviction that programmable money is the future of finance, we built BRLV. Anchored by a 1:1 backing of sovereign Brazilian treasury assets, BRLV is the safe, scalable settlement layer designed for the tokenized economy.

We’re backed by Framework, Valor, Norte, Coinbase Ventures, Paxos, and Nubank co-founder Ed Wible. Our goal: R$1 trillion of BRLV in circulation within 10 years.

The Role

As a Compliance Analyst at Crown, you will be a cornerstone of our risk management framework, operating across both the first and second lines of defense. You will serve as the primary compliance liaison for our institutional clients and partners, guiding them through our rigorous due diligence process while performing critical risk analysis to protect the firm. This role requires a unique blend of client-facing communication skills and deep analytical rigor. You will work directly with the Chief Compliance Officer and the broader risk function to implement and uphold our institutional-grade AML/CFT Policy.

Your key responsibilities will include:

Institutional Onboarding (1st Line): Act as the main point of contact for institutional clients during the entire onboarding lifecycle. You will guide them through the appropriate Due Diligence Questionnaire (for Brazilian, U.S., or other non-U.S. entities), ensuring all mandatory documentation—such as constitutional documents, AML/CFT policies, and ownership charts—is collected completely and accurately.
Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and Risk Assessment (2nd Line): Conduct comprehensive reviews of prospective clients, applying our risk-based approach. This includes analyzing complex corporate structures to identify and verify Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs) according to our dynamic thresholds .
Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD): Execute enhanced due diligence for high-risk clients, including Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), VASPs, and other financial institutions . This involves a critical assessment of the client's own AML program, their independent audit reports, and the source of their funds and wealth.
Transaction Monitoring Support (2nd Line): Assist in the analysis of alerts generated by our on-chain and fiat transaction monitoring systems. You will investigate atypical activity, adhering to strict internal SLAs for resolution (e.g., 24 hours for critical alerts), and prepare dossiers for potential Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) to be submitted to COAF .
Record Keeping and Data Protection: Ensure all due diligence, risk assessments, and client communications are meticulously documented and securely stored, in compliance with our policies and regulatory requirements. You will handle highly sensitive client data and must adhere strictly to our Information Security Policy and data protection principles (LGPD).

You Might Be a Fit If...

You have 3+ years of experience in a compliance, KYC/AML, risk, or client onboarding role within a VASP, fintech, or regulated financial institution.
You have a deep and practical understanding of Brazilian AML/CFT regulations (e.g., Law 14.478/22, COAF reporting) and are familiar with international FATF standards.
You are fluent in both Portuguese and English, with exceptional written and verbal communication skills required to interact with sophisticated institutional clients and internal stakeholders.
You have a highly analytical mindset and an obsessive attention to detail, capable of dissecting complex legal and corporate structures to identify underlying risks.
You thrive in ownership-driven environments. You're highly accountable for your work and don't require others following up on it.
You naturally operate cross-functionally, with strong collaborative instincts toward legal, operations, and technology teams.
You are energized by the challenge of building and refining compliance processes from the ground up in a fast-paced environment.

Ruthlessly simple. We don’t paper over complexity with process or headcount.
Collaboration is default. Problems are shared property. We work across domains.
Feedback is candid and direct. Built on the assumption that everyone here is smart, competent, and cares.
