Law Enforcement Specialist – UAE

Binance, a leading global blockchain ecosystem behind the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and registered users, is looking for a Law Enforcement Specialist to join its UAE team in Dubai. The company serves hundreds of millions of users across more than 100 countries and focuses on security, transparency of user funds, speed of its trading engine, deep liquidity, and a broad portfolio of digital asset products. The role offers a hybrid work arrangement and is a good fit for someone who has hands-on experience engaging with UAE authorities and a solid compliance mindset. Binance is committed to being an equal opportunity employer.

In this role, you’ll be part of a global function that collaborates with internal Legal, Compliance, Investigations, Security, Risk and Operations teams to respond to lawful information requests from authorities while upholding applicable laws and regulatory requirements. You’ll help Binance stay on the right side of UAE law while maintaining high standards of discretion and confidentiality. If you enjoy building relationships with authorities and shaping how a major crypto platform interacts with regulators, this could be a match for you.

If you’re drawn to coordinating complex information requests, supporting fraud and financial crime investigations, and helping to mature processes around law enforcement engagement in the UAE, you’ll find this role meaningful.

Building bridges with UAE law enforcement

You’ll act as a primary point of contact for law enforcement agencies and government authorities across the UAE, handling requests for user data, transaction details and other information. You’ll ensure every request is processed in line with relevant legal and regulatory requirements, balancing speed with due process. You’ll work closely with internal teams to assess the scope of each request, gather the necessary information, and coordinate timely responses.

Building professional relationships with UAE regulators and law enforcement bodies will be a key part of the job. You’ll collaborate with Legal, Compliance, Investigations, Security, Risk and Operations to verify what is needed, obtain the right information, and coordinate disclosures in a secure, compliant manner. You’ll review requests to confirm they have the right information and legal basis for Binance to respond, and you’ll maintain accurate records of requests, responses, correspondence and case information.

You’ll support investigations involving fraud, financial crime, money laundering, sanctions, cybercrime and other illicit activity where authorities request Binance’s assistance. You’ll identify trends and recurring issues from law enforcement requests and share insights with internal stakeholders to help improve processes and guidance for managing UAE requests. You’ll also educate internal teams on UAE law enforcement engagement, information requests and appropriate response processes, while ensuring every interaction respects confidentiality and discretion. You’ll stay current on UAE laws, regulations, enforcement practices and developments affecting digital assets and cryptocurrency.
