Compliance Officer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Argentina.

📋 Description

• Assist in the establishment of Taptap Send Financial Services Argentina S.A., which includes the preparation and evaluation of application documents, liaising with regulatory bodies, and coordinating with external legal advisors.

• Oversee the entity's registration as a PSAV with the CNV (under Resolución General N° 994/2024, the Registro de PSAV, and the essential requirements of RG 1058/2025) and as an obligated entity before the UIF.

• Upon appointment, act as the Oficial de Cumplimiento (Titular) before the UIF and as the Responsable de Cumplimiento Regulatorio y Control Interno as mandated by CNV RG 1058/2025, holding a director-level position on the board and serving as the primary liaison for regulators.

• Develop local compliance operations from inception, establishing a robust compliance framework that aligns with Taptap Send Group’s standards, Ley N° 27.739 (which classified PSAVs as obligated entities under Ley N° 25.246), and UIF Resolución N° 49/2024, the PSAV-specific AML/CFT/financing-of-proliferation risk framework.

• Ensure adherence to all relevant Argentine laws and regulations, including Ley N° 25.246 (as amended by Ley N° 27.739), UIF Resolución N° 49/2024, and CNV Resoluciones Generales N° 994/2024 and N° 1058/2025 (pertaining to client-asset custody and segregation, and cybersecurity).

• Manage and coordinate regulatory reporting to the UIF and CNV once operational, which includes Reportes de Operaciones Sospechosas (ROS), the technical self-assessment report, independent external audit report, and the systematic annual report required under UIF Resolución N° 49/2024, as well as the compliance report to the CNV within 70 days of each calendar year-end under RG 1058/2025.

• Create policies and procedures from the ground up — including the Manual de Prevención de Lavado de Activos y Financiamiento del Terrorismo (LA/FT/FP), client-asset custody and segregation policies, and cybersecurity risk procedures — designed specifically for Argentina’s PSAV regime, prior to launch.

• Conduct compliance testing and monitoring once operational, ensuring timely resolution of identified issues.

• Prepare internal compliance reports for management and the board.

• Report suspicious transactions and typologies to the UIF, in accordance with legal mandates.

• Supervise CDD/KYC/EDD on new customers, partners, and products, which includes PEP/sanctions screening and identifying virtual-asset-specific red flags (e.g. wallet clustering, mixer or high-risk exchange exposure).

• Collaborate with Group Compliance and internal audit teams to enhance controls and ensure alignment with global standards.

⛳️ Requirements

• Comprehensive understanding of Argentina’s virtual asset regulatory framework, including Ley N° 27.739, UIF Resolución N° 49/2024, and CNV Resoluciones Generales N° 994/2024 and N° 1058/2025.

• Over 5 years of experience in compliance within a fintech, virtual asset service provider (VASP), remittance company, or other entities regulated by CNV/UIF, preferably with prior experience as a registered Oficial de Cumplimiento or CNV-designated Responsable de Cumplimiento.

• Experience in managing regulatory interactions, ideally spearheading entity incorporation or licensing/registration projects with the UIF and/or CNV.

• Familiarity with virtual asset and blockchain risk typologies (wallet screening, Travel Rule compliance, mixer/privacy-coin exposure) and cross-border payment systems.

• Proficiency with compliance technology tools (e.g. on-chain analytics, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, KYC platforms).

• A proactive, solution-driven attitude and the capability to develop processes from scratch.

• Exceptional communication skills and experience in stakeholder management, including presentations to a Board of Directors.

• ACAMS, ICA, or equivalent certification preferred; cryptocurrency-specific certifications (e.g. CAMS with a crypto specialization) are advantageous.
