About This Role
As digital assets move from the margins to the mainstream, regulators, policymakers, and law enforcement agencies across Asia-Pacific are building the frameworks that will govern the industry for the next decade. CertiK sits at the intersection of security technology and public policy — and we are expanding our engagement with the region's most important institutions.
The Asia Policy Analyst supports CertiK's Capital Markets and Policy team in understanding, tracking, and shaping the regulatory environment across APAC. You will turn regulatory developments into clear, actionable intelligence; help produce the policy analysis, consultation responses, and regulator-facing materials that anchor our engagement with the public sector, and support commercial efforts with institutions— and position our security, surveillance, and compliance solutions accordingly.
This is a high-visibility, high-ownership role for someone who wants to be at the front line of how digital finance and fintech is being regulated. You will work directly with senior leadership, draft submissions and see your research shape real decisions — both inside CertiK and in wider policy conversation.
About You
You have a deep interest in how markets are regulated and how policy is formed, along with a demonstrated ability to translate complexity into clarity, distilling a regulatory documentation into a concise, decision-ready brief that a senior executive or a regulator can act on. You are a precise and persuasive writer, rigorous about detail, and comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where the rules are still being written. You move fluently between close analysis of a legal framework, structured mapping of a competitive landscape, and the disciplined capture of discussions that inform strategy. Critically, you have a track record of recognising where regulatory shifts create commercial and strategic opportunity, anticipating how new frameworks, licensing regimes, and supervisory priorities will reshape the market, and identifying where they open room for CertiK to lead.
Responsibilities
Regulatory tracking and horizon scanning. Monitor legislative, regulatory, and enforcement developments across key APAC jurisdictions, maintaining an internal tracker of consultations, licensing regimes, guidance, and policy signals relevant to digital assets and blockchain security.
Policy analysis and briefing. Produce clear, well-sourced briefs, memos, and explainers that translate complex regulatory developments into actionable insight for stakeholders.
Consultation responses and submissions. Research and help draft CertiK's responses to public consultations and requests for comment from regulators.
Regulator and public-sector engagement support. Report preparation ahead of engagements with regulators and the public sector and follow up on outcomes.
Law enforcement and capacity-building support. Support CertiK's engagement with law enforcement and public-sector partners, including the development of capacity-building and training materials, and the preparation of briefing packs for these engagements.
Market and go-to-market research. Build research dossiers and market maps for target jurisdictions — covering regulatory frameworks, market segmentation, licensing pipelines, competitive and pricing benchmarks, and prospect landscapes — to help CertiK understand regional needs and prioritize its efforts.
