About the Team
The Compliance function at OKX is responsible for the overall compliance culture at the company. We’re a team of risk-minded problem solvers who advise the business on the company’s regulatory obligations and enterprise risk.
What You'll be Doing
As the Director of Conduct and Anti-Bribery & Corruption (ABC), you are the primary architect of OKX’s ethical framework. You will lead the global strategy to mitigate bribery, corruption, and market abuse risks across our entire ecosystem. This isn't just about policy—it’s about designing high-tech surveillance and conduct standards that scale with a world-class crypto exchange. You will serve as a senior advisor to Legal and Risk, ensuring our global footprint remains compliant, ethical, and beyond reproach.

Program Architecture: Own the end-to-end global ABC and Conduct framework, including the strategy, roadmap, and high-level policy governance for a multi-jurisdictional environment.
-
Surveillance Oversight: Lead the implementation of e-commerce and communication surveillance tools to detect and prevent market abuse, insider dealing, and unethical conduct.
-
Strategic Advisory: Partner with senior leadership and frontline business units to provide pragmatic advice on high-risk business practices, gift/entertainment thresholds, and third-party partnerships.

Licensing & Regulatory Defense: Support global licensing efforts by demonstrating program efficacy to regulators and ensuring the ABC program meets evolving international standards (FCPA, UKBA, etc.).
-
Incident & Ethics Management: Oversee complex investigations into potential breaches of conduct or bribery, collaborating closely with Legal and Risk teams to ensure swift remediation.

Experience: 10+ years of senior-level experience in ABC, financial crimes, or conduct risk. Must have led compliance functions within a global, matrixed organization.
