We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Sanctions Risk Analyst to serve as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in the use of IP geolocation and behavioral analytics for sanctions compliance. This individual will play a critical role in designing, implementing, and optimizing controls that detect and prevent customer exposure to sanctioned or high-risk jurisdictions, ensuring regulatory alignment and operational resilience across global operations. You will work cross-functionally with compliance, engineering, and data science teams to operationalize location-based controls and provide strategic insight into emerging jurisdictional risks, particularly within complex digital environments such as crypto, cross-border payments, or decentralized platforms.
Responsibilities
* Serve as the SME for all matters related to geolocation-based sanctions controls and jurisdictional risk.
* Design and lead the implementation of IP-based controls (e.g., geofencing, access restrictions, monitoring alerts) to detect and prevent interactions with Sanctioned Countries, Embargoed Regions, or Restricted Jurisdictions.
* Oversee the integration of IP geolocation tools (e.g., MaxMind, IPinfo) and blockchain analytics platforms to identify risky access points and user activity patterns.
* Analyze user activity logs to identify mismatches between declared residency and actual location, particularly where exposure to restricted jurisdictions may exist.
* Develop and refine risk-based rules and thresholds for triggering POA (Proof of Address) collection or account review.
* Act as a key contributor during regulatory exams, internal audits, and policy reviews, providing authoritative guidance on geolocation-based sanctions controls.
* Maintain strong knowledge of evolving global sanctions frameworks and proactively assess how geopolitical changes may impact geolocation enforcement strategies.
* Collaborate with stakeholders (Technology, Product, Compliance and Operations) to define and document system requirements, translating business needs into functional and technical specifications for the sanctions screening solution
* Conduct in-depth analysis of screening results to refine parameters, boost system effectiveness, and minimize false positives
* Deliver internal training and develop knowledge materials on best practices related to IP risk, sanctions evasion techniques (e.g., VPNs, proxies), and mitigation strategies.
Requirements
* Minimum 7 years of experience in sanctions compliance, financial crime risk, or regulatory technology, preferably in a financial institution or digital asset firm.
* Comprehensive understanding of global sanctions and financial crime regulations and their application in financial services and how they intersect with digital access and jurisdictional exposure.
* Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, adept at converting business needs into technical solutions.
* Familiarity with tools that detect or mitigate VPN, proxy, or Tor traffic, and an understanding of sanctions evasion methodologies.
* Excellent communication skills, capable of effective engagement with diverse stakeholder groups.
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience delivering presentations and guidance to senior stakeholders or regulators.
* Proven ability to translate regulatory requirements into scalable and pragmatic technical solutions.
Good to Have
* Experience in the crypto, fintech, or cross-border payments industry.
* Certifications such as CAMS, CGSS, or Certified Sanctions Specialist (CSS).
* Exposure to blockchain analytics tools (e.g., Chainalysis, TRM Labs, Elliptic).
* Understanding of network security principles as they relate to location detection and fraud prevention.
Why Binance

* Collaborate with world-class talent in a user-centric global organization with a flat structure
* Tackle unique, fast-paced projects with autonomy in an innovative environment
* Thrive in a results-driven workplace with opportunities for career growth and continuous learning
