What you'll be doing:

Onboarding & KYC Review

• Review flagged contractor onboarding cases, including KYC documentation, identity verification discrepancies, and incomplete or inconsistent submissions.

• Manage the queue of manual reviews generated by stricter compliance controls, applying sound judgment to approve, escalate, or reject cases.

Identity, Tax & Payment Compliance

• Review changes to legal identity and tax data submitted by contractors, assessing legitimacy and flagging anomalies.

• Investigate beneficiary and bank account setup issues, including name mismatches, duplicate account risk, and potential fraud indicators.

Ongoing Monitoring & Re-Verification

• Support re-verification workflows and in-life monitoring processes to ensure continued compliance throughout the contractor engagement.

• Track and act on regulatory or policy changes that affect active contractor relationships.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with the CX team on contractor and client-facing communications related to compliance matters, while retaining ownership of all compliance decisions and determinations.

• Serve as the compliance subject matter expert in operational conversations involving contractor lifecycle issues.

Process Improvement & Product Feedback

• Identify recurring compliance issues and patterns across the case queue, and feed structured insights back to the Product team to drive automation and reduce manual review volume over time.

• Contribute to the development and refinement of internal compliance policies, playbooks, and decision frameworks.

What you'll need:

 

• 2–4 years of experience in compliance, KYC/AML operations, risk review, or a related function — ideally within fintech, payments, HR tech, or a platform operating across multiple jurisdictions.

• Hands-on experience reviewing identity documents, tax forms, and financial account data across international contexts.

• Strong analytical judgment — comfortable making nuanced compliance decisions with incomplete information and documenting your rationale clearly.

• Familiarity with contractor classification risks, cross-border tax obligations, or global employment regulations is a strong plus.

• Excellent written communication skills, particularly in translating compliance requirements into clear guidance for non-compliance stakeholders.

• A process-improvement mindset — you don't just work the queue, you look for ways to shrink it.

• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, remote-first environment with distributed teammates across multiple time zones.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with EOR, PEO, or contractor management platforms.

• Exposure to sanctions screening, PEP checks, or fraud investigation workflows.

• Familiarity with compliance tooling (e.g., Onfido, Jumio, ComplyAdvantage, or similar).

• Working knowledge of GDPR, data privacy regulations, or cross-border data handling requirements.
