5. Prepare clear, data-driven reporting and risk insights for senior leadership to support decision-making and governance oversight.
6. Stay informed on emerging crypto-related regulatory developments and evolving risk trends, proactively highlighting potential impacts to the business.

What you will need

2. Direct professional experience in cryptocurrency 
3. Experience with risk and compliance requirements in various EU jurisdictions
