At Anchorage Digital, we are building the world’s most advanced digital asset platform for institutions to participate in crypto.
Founded in 2017, Anchorage Digital is a regulated crypto platform that provides institutions with integrated financial services and infrastructure solutions. With the first federally chartered crypto bank in the US, Anchorage Digital offers institutions an unparalleled combination of secure custody, regulatory compliance, product breadth, and client service. We’re looking to diversify our team with people who are humble, creative, and eager to learn.
We are a remote friendly, global team, but provide the option of working in-office in New York City, Sioux Falls, Porto, Lisbon, and Singapore. For our colleagues not located near our beautiful offices, we encourage and sponsor quarterly in-person collaboration days to work together and further deepen our Village.
As a Member of Compliance, Information Technology, you’ll get the opportunity to work on various projects across the organization ranging from IT risk, gap, and readiness assessments to controls implementation and monitoring. This role is highly cross-functional and will cover multiple service offerings and entities (Anchor Labs, Inc., Anchorage Digital Bank, Anchorage Digital Singapore, Anchorage Digital New York, etc.).

You are a strong contributor and have the ability to significantly contribute to medium-to-large projects as well as owning small-to-medium projects. You will play a key role in building and scaling foundational elements of the company’s IT risk management and compliance program. You will support the build-out and ongoing maintenance of several key initiatives of the Compliance team’s scope and ownership.
You are capable of contributing to the development of company goals and objectives, expected to help define the long-term strategy of IT Compliance. You understand the “why” and the “bigger picture” and meaningfully contribute and take ownership of your work.
