The Tech G overnance Office is looking for someone who combines the governance judgment of a seasoned compliance professional with the drive of a forward-deployed engineer, someone who closes gaps by shipping solutions, navigates ambiguity without hand-holding, and operates with the urgency of a startup and the rigour of a regulated financial institution. You will own complex cross-functional workstreams independently, coordinating across Engineering, Legal, Product, and Finance, while managing external auditors and regulators. Strong written and verbal communication in both English and Mandarin is a meaningful advantage in this role. AI tooling is not optional; it is how you work. Who You Are Self-directed driver , You run cross-functional workstreams without being managed. Ambiguity is a starting point, not a blocker. AI-native operator , You already use AI to do more, faster, and you raise the floor for the teams around you. Clear communicator , You earn trust across regulators, auditors, and C-suite through precision and consistency, in any room. Culture Fit Pace Standards Startup velocity , Decisions move fast. Priorities shift. You ship, iterate, and adapt, without waiting for perfect conditions or top-down direction. Financial institution rigour , Audit trails matter. Regulators scrutinise. The bar for accuracy, documentation, and accountability is institutional-grade, always.

About compliance jobs

Compliance programs turn law, regulation, and policy into controls the business can actually run. Demand is strongest where regulatory change, enforcement risk, and new technology intersect. Jobs like this one are typically evaluated against frameworks such as relevant regulatory frameworks, control libraries, and audit and monitoring practices.

How to position yourself for this compliance job

Strong candidates emphasize building and monitoring controls, regulatory mapping, policy and training, and partnering with the business to make compliance practical. In your resume and outreach, tie your experience to how OKX would apply relevant regulatory frameworks, control libraries, and audit and monitoring practices, and lead with concrete outcomes rather than duties.
