Head of Compliance

The role Gauntlet is hiring its first dedicated Head of Compliance. Compliance responsibilities currently sit across Legal and the wider business. This role brings that work together, identifies the gaps, and establishes a clear, practical program that scales with the company. Reporting to the General Counsel, you will set the direction but also own the execution: writing the policies, building the processes, implementing the tooling, and running the monitoring to make sure the program works in practice. Gauntlet recently completed its Series C and as the business grows we need a compliance program that keeps pace without creating unnecessary friction. The scope is broad - financial crime, securities regulation, privacy, marketing, employment, anti-corruption, regulatory registrations, and other areas that emerge as the business develops. This is a hands-on senior role with meaningful ownership, direct access to company leadership, and the chance to build a program suited to an onchain financial business rather than inherit one designed for a different kind of company. About Gauntlet Gauntlet builds the financial systems of the future. While much of on-chain finance is focused on point solutions, we operate across the entire stack to offer best-in-class vault products. Today, we serve over $1.6B in client TVL across some of the largest fintechs/neobanks, protocols, exchanges, and capital allocators in crypto, and, increasingly, traditional asset management. Our team brings together traditional finance and crypto-native expertise to deliver durable, sophisticated products for institutional clients moving on-chain
