About the Opportunity

This is a senior, high-impact role for a former federal prosecutor who wants to build and lead a global investigations function.

This is an opportunity to build a world-class investigations program, one whose rigor, independence and integrity protect OKX's people, assets and reputation

Where an investigation warrants it, you will be responsible for bringing matters to the appropriate authorities in the US, EMEA and APAC, ensuring each case is built to a prosecutorial standard and supported through to any civil or criminal resolution.

We offer a competitive base salary and bonus structure as well as excellent benefits and an opportunity to work in a cutting-edge industry that will be the future of financial services. Extensive international travel on short notice expected in this role.
