About VPX The Vancouver Prediction Exchange (VPX) is a Canadian prediction exchange. People trade YES and NO shares on real-world events, from Bank of Canada rate decisions to the BC election, through a real limit order book.

We're working toward becoming Canada's first licensed and regulated prediction exchange. A regulated exchange needs a compliance function that runs every day, so we're hiring someone to build it and lead it.

The role

You'll be the Chief Compliance Officer of VPX as a recognized exchange, and VPX's first compliance hire, with a direct line to the board. As the business grows, the role will grow with it.

What you'll do

- Build the compliance program from scratch and run it: policies and procedures, the compliance manual, risk assessments and testing.
- Monitor compliance, escalate breaches to the CEO, and deliver an annual compliance report to the board.
- Keep the exchange in line with the terms of its recognition order, including the certifications we file with regulators before each new contract or rule change.
- Identify and manage conflicts of interest across the business.
- Be our day-to-day contact with regulators: filings, reporting, compliance reviews and responses to new guidance.
- Serve as our AML compliance officer: design KYC, AML/ATF and sanctions controls under the PCMLTFA and report to FINTRAC.
- Own market integrity: listing and resolution standards, insider trading and manipulation rules, trade surveillance, and how we investigate reports. We already publish an integrity policy. You'll make it ready for a regulator.
- Decide which questions can be listed, where, and on what terms.
- Review our marketing so we never advertise a product we can't yet offer.
- Oversee privacy (PIPEDA, BC PIPA, Quebec Law 25) and jurisdiction controls,



including the residence checks that govern which users and trading bots can reach third-party venues like Polymarket and Kalshi.
- Work directly with the engineers who build the matching engine, so the rules are built into the product. Requirements

- A member in good standing of the Law Society of British Columbia.
- Either at least 5 years at an investment dealer or registered adviser, including at least 3 in compliance or supervision, or at least 3 years providing qualified services to the securities industry, including at least 12 months in compliance or supervision at an investment dealer or registered adviser.
- You have passed, or are ready to pass, the Chief Compliance Officer Exam.
- A clean regulatory, disciplinary, criminal and financial history. Your background will be reviewed by securities regulators.
- Experience running a compliance program as a CCO or deputy CCO: policies and procedures, monitoring, escalation and the annual compliance report to the board.
- Experience running market surveillance: real-time trade monitoring and investigating disorderly trading, manipulation and market abuse.
- Experience assessing whether listed contracts can be manipulated, and certifying contracts and rule changes to a securities regulator.
- Experience identifying and managing conflicts of interest at a marketplace or registered firm.
- Hands-on AML experience under the PCMLTFA, including FINTRAC reporting.

What we offer

- Base salary of CA$140,000 to CA$180,000, plus meaningful equity.
- A founding-team role with real say over the company's direction.
- Hybrid work in Vancouver.
