Compliance Analyst - Columbus, OH

At River we are building the world’s most trusted financial institution to empower people to take ownership of their financial lives through Bitcoin, the world’s only incorruptible digital money. We believe in a future where every person will have bitcoin savings, and every business will have bitcoin on the balance sheet. We obsessively design and build delightful products that help our clients buy, sell, secure, and use Bitcoin.

We’re looking for an ambitious and proactive candidate to join our compliance team at River. Prior compliance experience isn’t required, what matters most is a strong sense of ownership, curiosity, growth, excellent communication skills, and an interest in working directly with clients. The ideal candidate enjoys solving complex problems, owning operational improvements, working cross-functionally, and has an interest in Bitcoin.

River is growing quickly and has raised more than $50 million from leading investors, including Goldcrest, Kingsway, Polychain, M13, DG, and Valor. We have also released our company's financials and proof of reserves publicly, so all of our clients and employees can verify the robustness and growth of the business themselves.
