The Problems You'll Solve

At Carta, our employees set out on a mission to unlock the power of equity ownership for more people in more places. We believe that the problems we solve today unlock the opportunities of tomorrow. As a KYC Analyst – Inbound Compliance, you'll work to:

• Own the KYC request lifecycle. Manage the intake, processing, and timely resolution of inbound KYC requests from clients and their counterparties — ensuring nothing falls through the cracks and every response meets the standard.
• Be the client's compliance guide. Serve as the primary point of contact for KYC inquiries, giving clients clear, confident answers on global KYC requirements so they can move their transactions forward.
• Uphold the regulatory bar. Review and validate KYC documentation for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with AML, KYC, and applicable international frameworks — and make the call when something doesn't pass muster.
• Keep records airtight. Maintain accurate, up-to-date records of all KYC requests and documentation in Carta's systems — so the team always has a clean audit trail.
• Stay ahead of a moving target. Monitor evolving KYC/AML regulations globally and apply updated requirements to daily work, ensuring Carta's compliance posture keeps pace with regulatory change.

The Team You’ll Work With

You'll be joining our Inbound Compliance team.

This team sits at the front line of Carta's compliance function — managing the intake and resolution of KYC requests on behalf of some of the world's leading asset managers and private equity firms. You'll work in a high-volume, client-facing environment where accuracy, speed, and regulatory fluency aren't optional — they're the baseline.

About You

• Detail-oriented under pressure. You catch what others miss — and you do it consistently, even when managing a high volume of concurrent requests against tight deadlines.
• Confident and client-ready. You can hold your own in KYC conversations with senior stakeholders and counterparties — assertive, professional, and knowing when to escalation versus when to resolve.
• 1-2+ years of regulatory experience. You have a working understanding of global KYC and AML frameworks and can apply them practically, not just cite them. AML/KYC certifications (ICA, ACAMS) are a plus but not required.
• A proactive decision-maker. You don't wait to be told what to do — you assess the situation, apply the right framework, and move forward with minimal supervision.
• Experienced in complex legal entities. Prior exposure to corporate banking, a legal service provider, or a fund compliance environment is a strong plus — particularly familiarity with offshore jurisdictions like Cayman or Luxembourg.

At Carta, you’re not just an employee. You’re a builder who is creating infrastructure that accelerates innovation and empowers more ownership. Cartans are helpful, relentless, unconventional and kind; representing Carta’s Identity Traits. They work collaboratively and cross functionally to challenge the status quo; working towards a common goal of creating more owners in the private markets.
