Business Analyst

Tangem is a high-tech company in the blockchain sector was founded in 2017, headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, with branches in North America, Eastern Europe, and APAC.

Tangem started with the idea of bringing digital assets to the masses using a unique combination of a smartcard-based hardware wallet and mobile applications. Company owns and promotes the technology of hardware cold-wallet for digital assets with secure and simple UX in 220 countries today. Our customers enjoy setup time within 1 minute with the ultimate security level for digital assets on their wallet. Tangem solutions offer multi-support of a growing number of thousands of tokens by a single wallet. SBI Crypto Investment Ltd., the digital asset venture investment company wholly owned by SBI Holdings Inc., has invested $15 million into Tangem in 2019 for mass adoption of blockchain technology.

We are building capability for Tangem customers to trade US equities inside the mobile app (iOS/Android), with an external tech vendor as our partner. The US entity, its licensed officers, and the local regulatory work sit with outsourced specialists and external advisors. Everything those people need in order to do their jobs comes from headquarters - and that is your job.

You are not the compliance function and you are not expected to be a securities expert. You are the person at HQ who makes sure the advisors, external tech vendor, and the internal teams have the information they need, and that requests are tracked, followed up and escalated where necessary.

Key Responsibilities

• Assemble and maintain the HQ-side inputs our external advisors need for the broker-dealer application: business and product descriptions, funding and money-flow narratives, technology and vendor schedules, organisational and reporting structure, and whatever else they ask for. You chase the underlying facts inside Tangem AG and turn them into what the advisors actually need.
• Run the document request list: advisors and counsel will send us long lists with dates on them. You own the tracker, the owners, and the follow-ups, and you flag slippage before it becomes a delay.
• Support the clearing broker relationship: consolidate our open questions, track their answers, keep a current view of what has been agreed and what is still open across clearing, API coverage, market data, KYC allocation, and commercial terms.
• Hold external advisors to account as suppliers: read their drafts, catch places where they have misdescribed our product or our funding flow, and get corrections made rather than accepting the first version.
• Produce revenue and cost estimates for the equities business, and keep them current as the commercial terms with the clearing broker and our vendors firm up.
• Run competitor and market research on US retail brokerage and crypto-adjacent equities offerings; turn it into short memos that lead with a conclusion.
• Keep documentation current - process maps, flow diagrams, and internal briefing material that design, engineering, and the US entity team can all work from.
• Brief marketing and content so external communication describes the product accurately. In a regulated business the cost of a loose claim is higher than usual.

Qualifications & Requirements

• 3+ years as a business analyst, project or programme coordinator, consultant, or in an operations role.
• Background in trading, brokerage, asset management, or financial services more broadly. We would strongly prefer someone who already understands how a brokerage business makes money and where its operational risks sit, rather than someone learning that on the job while coordinating a licence application.
• Evidence of having assembled material for a regulatory filing, licence application, audit, or major vendor due-diligence process. Any jurisdiction - this is the closest analogue to the work.
• Comfortable managing external advisors and law firms as suppliers: scoping them, holding dates, and pushing back on a draft that is wrong.
• Organised under pressure across many parallel threads, with a working style that closes loops without being chased. Much of this role is knowing what is outstanding, from whom, and by when.
• Precise written English. Specs, memos, and trackers that are short, structured, and unambiguous.
• Effective across time zones and across a headquarters/subsidiary split, where the people who need information and the people who hold it are rarely in the same room.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Qualifications

• Able to read a technical document or an API description well enough to describe a system accurately in writing, and to talk to developers without needing a translator.
• Securities regulation or fintech licensing exposure; experience supporting a market-entry or new-entity project; SQL or Python for quick data pulls; Figma and MIRO; crypto literacy and self-custody familiarity (relevant later, when tokenised equities enter scope).

Perks & Compensation

• Stability, development, participation in the future unicorn's growth.
• Remote work from anywhere in the world, excluding Russia and Belarus, with a schedule aligned with GMT+3.
• Competitive salary in EUR/USDT.
• Unlimited vacation.
• Birthday presents.
• Compensation for the purchase of necessary technical devices for the work.
• Paid sick leaves. ppolevikov@tangem.com
