Join the Pioneer Crypto Brand in the Philippines!

Coins is the most established crypto brand in The Philippines and has gained the trust of more than 18 million users. Through the easy-to-use mobile app, users can buy and sell a variety of different cryptocurrencies and access a wide range of financial services.

Coins is fully regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and is the first ever crypto-based company in Asia to hold both Virtual Currency and Electronic Money Issuer licenses from a central bank.

Regulatory leadership and governance

Own the compliance agenda end-to-end: readiness for VARA expectations, ongoing supervision, and scalable controls as volumes grow.

Operate as VARA’s day-to-day interface, with the CEO still expected to demonstrate clear judgement and credibility during regulator engagement.

Stakeholder management

Establish credibility with VARA early; preference for leaders with prior UAE regulatory engagement—an existing relationship materially de-risks the set-up.

Act as connective tissue between Dubai market realities and Coins.ph leadership, keeping the build aligned to international expansion priorities.

Leadership expectations

Builder mentality: hands-on, comfortable with ambiguity, able to create momentum fast from a standing start.

Commercial + compliance maturity: move fast, but never at the expense of regulatory credibility and control integrity.

Senior compliance leader (UAE resident) with 5+ years relevant experience and hands-on exposure to regulated financial services environments aligned to VASP / fintech/ payments.

Comfortable operating as the primary regulator interface, with the confidence and judgement to build credibility early and maintain it as volumes scale.

Strong senior compliance leader from a comparable regulated environment in the UAE provided they clearly satisfy the experience threshold and can be accepted as a Responsible Individual.
