Job description

Founders today are building global companies from day one — but the systems that manage their money were built for a different era. Aspire exists to change that!

We’re building the financial operating system for global founders, bringing banking, software, and automation into a single platform so businesses can move faster across borders and stay focused on building.

Aspire is built by people who think from first principles, care deeply about solving hard problems, and take real ownership of their work. Our team brings global experience from leading fintech and technology companies, and many of us are former founders and operators who understand what it takes to build thoughtfully, make trade-offs, and deliver at scale in a global environment.

Backed by leading global investors including Y Combinator, Peak XV, and Lightspeed, Aspire has been trusted by more than 50,000 startups and growing businesses worldwide to manage their finances since 2018. Together with partners like J.P. Morgan, Visa, and Wise, we’re building for the next generation of global companies.

About the role

You'll be approving transactions and liaising with partners to make sure every transaction is handled promptly and within our Acceptable Use Policy. Beyond execution, you'll take ownership of how the process works, contribute to building the frameworks the team operates against, and help drive improvements across the end-to-end screening function with training on transaction screening, ongoing screening, and exposure to expansion and enhancement projects along the way.

About the team

Our Financial Crime Risk tribe protects Aspire and our customers from fraud, money laundering, and other financial crime. You'll work on the controls, monitoring, and investigations that keep our platform safe and compliant.

What you'll own

• Conduct timely investigations of real-time alerts, keeping every transaction approval within established SLAs
• Verify transactions comply with internal and partner Acceptable Use Policies (AUP) while mitigating financial crime risk
• Identify suspicious activity and file Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) where required
• Partner with Compliance to support regulatory and documentation requests as they come in
• Contribute to process improvements, help build out screening frameworks, and flag gaps as you spot them
• Collectively own the 24/7 operation, ensuring shift coverage and clean handovers at all times

What you need to be successful

• At least 6 years of relevant experience with 1 year of leadership experience, ideally in transaction screening, compliance, or financial crime risk
• A robust analytical approach and critical reasoning skills, with the judgement to work without supervision once ramped up
• Proven experience in impactful process improvements
• Detail-oriented and adaptable, with a strong commitment to ownership and quality of investigation work
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English
• Comfort operating in a dynamic, high-growth fintech environment, including 24/7 shift coverage.
