About Wincent

We are a team of 150+ people, primarily Engineers, Traders and Quants, focused on HFT with ~1% of global crypto trading volume.
Being a bit weird, we
• Are self-taught; our founders do not come from any of the big HFTs
• Chose to have no VCs on cap-table; this spot is for our colleagues
• Made Bratislava the central hub, not London or Amsterdam

About the Role

We operate in a fast-moving, regulated, and ambiguous environment. Compliance is not a support function here. It is directly tied to whether we can trade, onboard counterparties, and scale.

This role sits at the center of that.

You will help execute the operational layer of Compliance and Legal. That means running onboarding, tracking multiple parallel workstreams, and making sure nothing slips between Compliance, other internal departments and external counterparties.

This is a hands-on execution role. You will not observe processes. You will run them, improve them, and fix them when they break.

Responsibilities
  • Compliance triage: monitor communication channels, assist counterparties with onboarding, track onboarding status, manage initial and final stages, and allocate daily tasks

  • Project management: manage timelines, track deliverables, and ensure projects are completed on schedule

  • Process and counterparty experience improvement: identify inefficiencies, suggest improvements, and help implement better workflows

  • Research & analysis: gather data and prepare concise summaries or briefs for the CLO and senior compliance/legal stakeholders

  • Meeting coordination: prepare agendas, facilitate meetings, record minutes, and track follow-ups

Skills
  • Attention to detail: delivers reliable outputs and reduces risk of errors

  • Organized and structured: able to map out processes, prioritize, and track multiple projects

  • Project management tools proficiency: we use Asana

  • Critical thinking & problem-solving: able to break down issues and propose solutions

  • Strong communication: clear writing and comfort with different stakeholders

  • Learning mindset: picks up new concepts quickly and handles unfamiliar tasks

  • Business sense: understands basics of business operations and finance

  • Collaboration: receptive to feedback and improves quickly

Candidate profile

Must-haves
  • At least 2 years of experience in operations, project management, consulting, finance, or similar role involving organisation and decision-making
    Alternatively, experience as a senior legal secretary or executive assistant in a high-performance environment

  • Experience managing projects or coordinating complex workflows

  • Comfort working with multiple stakeholders across functions

Nice-to-haves
  • Exposure to crypto, trading, or financial services

  • Familiarity with project management frameworks (Agile, Scrum, etc.)

  • Experience in client-facing or key account roles

  • Experience with project management tools

  • Experience with drafting emails, presentations, and reports

  3. Trust each other: We embrace internal radical transparency in terms of compensation, bonuses, and trading strategies.

AI Use in the Recruitment Process

 

Due to the high volume of applications we receive, for some roles we use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to help our recruiters review your application. In particular, we may use AI tools at the following stages of your application:

  1. CV Screening. We may use a tool that gives insights on how well your CV corresponds to the criteria for the role you applied for. These criteria are chosen by our recruiters, not AI. All insights are reviewed by a human, who decides whether to pass your application to the next stage individually. This improves outcomes by ensuring you receive a timely response and that recruiters do not miss relevant experience on your CV.
  2. Interview Stage. With your express permission at the start of an interview, we may use an AI tool that transcribes the interview. This allows your interviewer to focus more on you instead of note-taking. We may also use AI to provide a summary of the transcript so we can keep track of what was discussed, helping later interviewers avoid repeating questions. A recruiter may take this transcript and summary into account when deciding whether to move your application to the next round.
