About the Team

Regulatory Change sits within OKX's central Compliance function, with a global mandate covering how OKX anticipates, shapes, and responds to regulatory developments across all markets in which we operate. The team acts as a strategic partner to the business and Compliance teams, translating the regulatory landscape into clear guidance and action.

About the Opportunity

We are looking for a Head of Regulatory Change & Policy to own and drive the regulatory change agenda globally. This person will bring vision, strategic judgment, as well as the ability to execute, translating a complex, fast-moving regulatory landscape into a clear strategy that protects and enables the business.

You will need to operate across multiple dimensions simultaneously: understanding our product landscape deeply to assess regulatory impact, engaging credibly with regulators and industry bodies, and building internal alignment across legal, risk, and local compliance teams. You will also build and lead a team, establishing the processes and judgment that junior team members will execute against over time.

This position calls for a seasoned regulatory change leader with a demonstrated track record of owning a comparable mandate — prior experience in a similar role in a complex matrix organization is essential.

What You’ll Be Doing

- Regulatory change: own Compliance’s regulatory change log, assess the implications and business impact of evolving regulatory requirements on OKX's product landscape and partner with the Change Management team to ensure regulatory change is translated into business-ready action and the relevant policy framework is put into place (assign policy owner, deadline and feed content into Compliance obligation register)
- In coordination with internal Risk and Compliance stakeholders manage, oversee and maintain a global regulatory obligations mapping and horizon scanning capability
- Support local Compliance Teams, where required, with building and maintaining relationships with regulators and policymakers and in representing OKX in industry consultations and regulatory engagement efforts to ensure aligned positions across jurisdictions
- Build out the Regulatory Change function, with the potential to add one compliance analyst within the first six months, subject to the function demonstrating measurable output and business value.
- Set the operating model, priorities, and quality bar for the function
- Coach and develop team members as the function scales from strategy design into steady-state execution
- Build strong, trusted working relationships with Legal, Risk, and local Compliance teams across regions

What We Look For In You

- Significant experience (at least 10+ years) in regulatory change, regulatory affairs, or a comparable senior compliance/ policy role, ideally within crypto, fintech, or another heavily regulated financial sector
- Demonstrated experience building or significantly reshaping a regulatory change function, not just operating within an existing one
- Global exposure to crypto-specific regulation, with working knowledge of multiple regulatory regimes
- Track record of influencing senior internal stakeholders (Legal, Risk, Compliance) without formal authority over them
- Experience building and leading a team, including hiring and developing junior talent
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable operating at executive level internally and externally
- Pragmatic, execution-oriented mindset — able to move from strategic vision to operational detail

Perks & Benefits

Competitive total compensation package
L&D programs and Education subsidy for employees' growth and development
Various team building programs and company events
