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.

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.

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 escalate 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.
