Inbound Compliance Analyst (KYC)

About the role

The Inbound Compliance team at Carta manages 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 are essential.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 by monitoring evolving KYC/AML regulations globally and applying updated requirements to daily work, ensuring Carta's compliance posture keeps pace with regulatory change.

Requirements

You must have 1-2+ years of regulatory experience, a working understanding of global KYC and AML frameworks, and a proactive decision-making style. AML/KYC certifications (ICA, ACAMS) are a plus but not required. 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.

Qualifications

Detail-oriented under pressure, you catch what others miss and 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, asserting yourself professionally and knowing when to escalate versus when to resolve.

Skills

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.
