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

As Aspire scales rapidly across Southeast Asia, keeping regulatory compliance strong and financial crime risk in check across our growing customer base is critical. This role exists to make sure customer accounts are periodically reviewed in line with AML/CFT requirements, while proactively identifying emerging risks and maintaining the integrity of Aspire's financial ecosystem. You'll balance compliance excellence with operational efficiency by driving high-quality reviews, supporting risk mitigation, and contributing to continuous process improvements within the team.

• Prepare clear and detailed case narratives, review summaries, and risk recommendations in line with internal and regulatory standards
• Support process improvement initiatives by identifying operational gaps and contributing to enhancements in review methodologies and workflows

What you need to be successful

• Minimum 5 years of experience in the same role
• Strong analytical and risk assessment skills, with sound judgement on when to elevate
• Ability to write clear, well-documented case narratives and review summaries under SLA pressure
• Comfortable collaborating across teams (KYC, Transaction Monitoring, Compliance) to validate information and drive reviews to closure
• Detail-oriented and process-minded, with an eye for gaps and opportunities to improve how the team works
