The ideal candidate is organized, analytical, comfortable communicating with external stakeholders, and able to manage multiple onboarding workstreams in a fast-paced environment.

Conduct and support third-party risk management processes, including KYC, KYB, enhanced due diligence, policy and procedure reviews, customer onboarding flow reviews, and risk assessments.
Review partner-provided documentation for completeness, consistency, and potential risk indicators.
Track partner onboarding progress, follow up on outstanding items, and help ensure required documents are submitted ahead of launch deadlines.
Respond to partner questions related to the onboarding and due diligence process, escalating requests or issues as appropriate.
Work closely with internal teams, including Operations, Compliance, AML, Legal, Product, and Project Management, to ensure partner integrations meet internal requirements.
Identify process gaps, recurring partner questions, or documentation issues, and contribute to improvements in the partner onboarding and diligence process.
Maintain accurate records of diligence reviews, decisions, approvals, and supporting documentation.

What You’ll Need

Experience: 2–3 years of experience in risk management, operational risk, third-party risk, compliance, AML, financial crime, or related functions within financial services, fintech, brokerage, or another regulated industry.
International Mindset: Comfort working with international partners and reviewing diligence materials across different jurisdictions and regulatory environments.
Analytical Skills: Strong critical thinking skills with the ability to identify anomalies, inconsistencies, gaps, and potential risk indicators in documentation, data, and partner responses.
Organizational Skills: Strong project management and prioritization skills, with the ability to manage multiple partner onboarding processes simultaneously.
Communication Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain requirements clearly to external partners and internal stakeholders.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Ability to work effectively across Risk, Compliance, AML, Operations, Legal, Product, and Project Management teams.
Proactive Ownership: A self-starter mindset with strong accountability, sound judgment, and the ability to operate independently in a rapidly evolving environment.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, Economics, Risk Management, Criminal Justice, International Relations, or a related field.

Nice to Have

Understanding of operational resilience, business continuity, cybersecurity, data protection, or outsourcing risk frameworks.
Experience reviewing policies and procedures related to AML, sanctions, customer onboarding, fraud, compliance, or operational controls.
