Compliance Operations Analyst

As Fin's first dedicated Compliance Operations Analyst, you run the day-to-day engine of the compliance program, reporting to the Head of Compliance. Fin is a Series A payments platform backed by Sequoia and Circle, enabling high-value, global, instant transactions powered by stablecoins. The compliance framework is in place with Board-approved charters and core programs; you make it run at the speed customers move money, turning manual processes into automated, auditable workflows.

What you'll do

• Own the KYB/CDD review queue: use the tooling to verify legal entity, formation and DBA records, registered and operating addresses, website and commercial footprint, beneficial owners (25%+) and control persons.
• Manage the customer risk rating process and run enhanced due diligence on higher-risk profiles such as complex ownership, PEP exposure, high-risk industries or FATF-monitored jurisdictions.
• Issue and track RFIs, judge whether responses resolve the gap, and write clear disposition memos, including decline and exit recommendations.
• Disposition sanctions, PEP and adverse media matches for entities and associated persons, with documented rationale.
• Triage blockchain analytics alerts on inbound and outbound transfers, and run hold-and-review workflows for flagged funds as pre-transaction interdiction comes online.
• Answer partner due diligence and information requests accurately and on time, and deliver against the partner reporting calendar.
• Write and maintain the procedures and runbooks that sit under the compliance programs.
• Track and report operating metrics such as queue age, review turnaround, alert volumes, RFI aging and override rates.
• Spot recurring manual work and turn it into a tooling or workflow fix.

What you bring

• 1-4+ years in compliance operations at a fintech, payments company, crypto business or bank, with direct ownership of AML, KYB/CDD and/or EDD reviews.
• Strong business due diligence skills: you can untangle multi-layer ownership, read formation documents and registry records, and tell when a business's story does not add up.
• Experience investigating unusual activity and writing referrals or case narratives that another compliance team could act on without follow-up questions.
• Working knowledge of the BSA/AML framework, FinCEN guidance and FATF standards as they apply to payments and digital assets.
• Clear, precise writing: your memos and RFIs hold up to partner, auditor and examiner review.

Nice to have

• CAMS, CAMS-FCI, CCI, CRCM or a similar certification.
• Experience with trade-based money laundering typologies or with wholesale, trading or import/export customers.
• Hands-on experience dispositioning sanctions, PEP and adverse media alerts, with a working knowledge of OFAC requirements.
• Experience with Persona, Middesk or similar KYB and case management platforms.
• Familiarity with blockchain analytics tools such as Chainalysis or TRM, and with how stablecoin flows move on-chain.
