Key Responsibilities:

Compliance:

• Monitor, interpret, and advise on Indian regulatory developments impacting Telcoin's activities (e.g., financial services, fintech, VDA/crypto, AML, data privacy).

• Ensure implementation and maintenance of compliance frameworks in accordance with Indian law and Telcoin's global standards.

• Lead or support local licensing, registration, or partnership efforts with regulatory bodies such as the RBI, FIU-IND, SEBI, or MeitY, as applicable.

• Act as the local point of contact for compliance-related audits, inquiries, or regulatory submissions.

• Collaborate with the global compliance team to ensure consistent policy enforcement, reporting, and risk mitigation.

• Support customer onboarding, AML transaction monitoring, and suspicious activity reporting aligned with Indian KYC/AML guidelines.

Country Representation:

• Serve as Telcoin's legal and operational representative in India for matters involving government agencies, local counsel, and other stakeholders.

• Provide market intelligence and regulatory risk assessments to support strategic decision-making and product launches in India.

• Support India-based vendor relationships, recruitment efforts, and local operational setup as needed.

• Represent Telcoin in industry discussions or associations, where appropriate.

Qualifications and Experience:

• 5+ years of experience in regulatory compliance, legal, or risk roles within fintech, payments, banking, or virtual asset sectors in India.

• Deep familiarity with RBI, FIU-IND, PMLA, and Indian AML/CTF and data privacy regulations.

• Experience engaging directly with Indian regulators and working on licensing or registration processes.

• Strong understanding of India's fintech and crypto ecosystem.

• Fluent in English and Hindi required. Additional fluency in a regional Indian language (e.g., Kannada) is a strong advantage.

• Demonstrated ability to work independently in a remote or cross-border environment.
