- Assist in performing risk assessments on potential clients using established frameworks and checklists

- Flag and escalate suspicious activity or potential compliance issues identified during onboarding to senior compliance staff

- Maintain accurate and complete records of client onboarding files, compliance decisions, and supporting documentation in accordance with team standards

- Support periodic reviews of existing client accounts by gathering and organizing documentation for senior team review

- Assist in the preparation of compliance reports and data pulls as directed by management

- Utilize compliance technology platforms to process onboarding tasks, input data, and maintain system accuracy

- Follow established onboarding compliance policies and procedures, providing feedback to senior staff on potential process improvements

- Participate in compliance training sessions and apply best practices to daily onboarding tasks, developing foundational knowledge of fintech and banking regulation through ongoing training and self-study

- Take on other activities as determined by your supervisor

You Have

- A Bachelor's degree in finance, business, or a related field preferred

- 1–2 years of experience in compliance, finance, banking, or a related operations role

- Working understanding of BSA/AML, OFAC, and FinCEN requirements, including CDD and KYB concepts

- Exceptional attention to detail, strong organization, and a proactive approach to problem-solving

- Ability to manage a queue independently, prioritize across competing deadlines, and meet required service levels

- Comfort working in compliance technology platforms and learning new systems quickly

- Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the judgment to know when to escalate

Compensation & Schedule
