  • Lead the design and development of an AI-enabled regulatory intelligence platform that tracks and updates stablecoin regulatory developments in real time.
  • Define legal taxonomies, regulatory ontologies, source hierarchies, model evaluation criteria, risk-scoring frameworks, and human-in-the-loop review processes with technical teams.

  • Experience engaging with financial regulators, central banks, policymakers, or supervisory authorities.
  • Practical knowledge of Europe’s MiCA framework and its licensing implications for stablecoin and crypto-asset business models.
  • Ability to assess regulatory arbitrage opportunities while weighing legal, reputational, enforcement, and operational risks.
  • Strong commercial judgment and ability to support decisions in ambiguous or rapidly evolving regulatory environments.
  • Ability to work effectively with technical teams building AI, data, or regulatory monitoring systems.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to brief executives clearly and concisely.
  • Experience with licensing applications for crypto-asset, payment institution, e-money institution, banking, or financial services businesses (preferred).
