About the team

Bridge is hiring a Global Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) who will also serve as the BSA Officer for all US-regulated entities including our forthcoming OCC National Trust Bank. As one of the early senior leaders in Compliance, you’ll build and run a strong financial crime program that’s right-sized for a fast-growing company but robust enough for bank-level oversight.

This role blends strategy and hands-on execution. You’ll shape how Bridge manages AML, sanctions, and financial crime risk globally while serving as the primary point of contact for U.S. regulators.

What you’ll do

Responsibilities

• Serve as the designated BSA Officer for our US-regulated entities and serve as the primary point of contact for state applicable regulatory agencies, the OCC and FinCEN.

• Own and evolve Bridge’s global AML/BSA and financial crime program, including policies, risk assessments, and governance.

• Oversee core operations: customer due diligence, EDD, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, SARs/CTRs, and investigations.

• Partner with Product, Engineering, and Risk to ensure controls are effective, scalable, and embedded into workflows.

• Prepare board/executive reporting, support independent audits/exams, and guide the company through supervisory processes.

• Lead global financial crime strategy across entities and jurisdictions as Bridge continues to grow.
Accountable for regulatory change management, including tracking, interpreting, and operationalizing OCC bulletins, FFIEC updates, and FinCEN rulemaking.

• Provide oversight of model risk management where transaction monitoring or sanctions screening tools involve machine learning or statistical models, consistent with OCC model risk guidance.

• Responsibility for ensuring staff training programs meet OCC standards — including board-level AML/BSA training and documentation of attendance/completion.

• Comfortable in a startup-like environment — able to move between high-level strategy and hands-on work.

• Strong communicator who can work cross-functionally and engage confidently with regulators.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience working in a global financial institution and building global policies, standards, and frameworks across multiple disciplines and jurisdictions.

• Experience working with third-party on-chain monitoring tools for digital assets and blockchains.
