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.

What We Look For In You

  • 8+ years of compliance experience at a broker-dealer, exchange, alternative trading system (ATS) or digital asset firm, with direct experience of SEC-regulated activity.

  • Working knowledge of the federal securities laws that apply to trading venues, such as Regulation ATS, Regulation NMS and market manipulation rules, plus the ability to apply them to new market structures.

  • Experience building or running compliance programs under regulatory conditions, exemptive relief or no-action positions.

  • Familiarity with how blockchain-based trading works, including self-custodied wallets, smart contracts, liquidity pools and on-chain screening.

  • Strong drafting skills, with experience turning complex technical or legal detail into clear public disclosures and procedures.

  • Sound judgment and the ability to work with Product, Engineering and Legal teams across time zones.

Nice to Haves

  • Experience with tokenized securities, transfer agents or digital asset broker-dealers.

  • Exposure to OFAC sanctions programs and blocked property handling for on-chain assets.

  • Experience reporting to a board or joint venture governance body.

  • A JD or a similar legal background.

Perks & Benefits

  • Competitive total compensation package

  • Various team building programs and company events

  • Wellness and meal allowances

  • Comprehensive healthcare schemes for employees and dependants

Sample interview questions
How would you establish a compliance program for a trading venue operating under SEC exemptive relief?

I would first convert every exemption condition into a documented obligation inventory with a named owner, control, evidence standard, testing frequency, and escalation path. I would then build procedures, monitoring dashboards, record-retention practices, and a periodic compliance-testing calendar designed to demonstrate ongoing adherence during an SEC examination.

How would you monitor per-stock and volume limits for tokenized securities?

I would define authoritative data sources, reconcile venue activity against consolidated market data, and implement automated threshold alerts with clear escalation levels. The process would include daily exception review, periodic tier reassessments, documented trading-halt procedures, and retained evidence of calculations and decisions.

What risks are unique to participant onboarding for a self-custodied wallet-based securities venue?

Key risks include inaccurate wallet-to-participant attribution, sanctions exposure, beneficial-ownership gaps, credential misuse, and changes in wallet control after onboarding. I would require robust KYC/KYB, sanctions and adverse-media controls, wallet verification, ongoing rescreening, change-management procedures, and immediate credential revocation processes when risk triggers arise.

How would you work with Product and Engineering when a proposed feature creates a regulatory concern?

I would explain the applicable obligation and risk in practical terms, identify the specific product behavior that creates exposure, and collaborate on compliant design alternatives. My goal would be to preserve the business objective where possible while documenting the decision, required controls, testing criteria, and any residual-risk approval.

How would you prepare for an SEC examination of this venue?

I would maintain an examination-ready repository containing the exemption framework, procedures, control-test results, exception logs, notices, monitoring records, governance materials, and evidence of remediation. I would also conduct periodic mock examinations to validate that personnel can explain controls clearly and that records are complete, current, and readily retrievable.
