• Developing and promoting internal data standards, methodologies and best practices for blockchain forensics, AI-enabled analytics and data intelligence
• Participating in cross-departmental and cross-jurisdictional projects relating to digital assets, financial innovation, supervisory technology and emerging regulatory risks
• Contributing to thought leadership, internal knowledge-sharing and capability-building initiatives in blockchain analytics, AI, data science and supervisory technology
• Performing other related work and special projects as assigned by management in accordance with competencies normally associated with the post
