Affiniti is building a financial operations platform for small and medium-sized businesses. As the company's first dedicated compliance hire, you will work directly with the Head of Legal to establish and manage compliance infrastructure from the ground up.
Your responsibilities span the full compliance lifecycle: owning the KYB/KYC onboarding pipeline end-to-end, including business customer application review, identity verification, and risk assessment; building and maintaining the transaction monitoring and BSA/AML program, including investigating high-risk alerts and preparing SARs for the sponsor bank; preparing recurring compliance deliverables such as complaints reporting, testing reports, and AML/BSA summaries; supporting compliance reviews for new product features and assisting with audits and regulatory exams; conducting vendor and third-party due diligence; and reviewing marketing materials for regulatory compliance (UDAAP, network rules, sponsor bank requirements).
You will also handle compliance-related customer escalations, dispute resolution, and complaint documentation, while supporting the legal team on contract management and litigation support as needed. This is an embedded role where you'll participate in product decisions and help shape how a rapidly scaling fintech builds its compliance infrastructure.
The ideal candidate has 1–4 years of compliance, risk, or legal operations experience, preferably in fintech, banking, or financial services. You should be familiar with KYC/KYB, BSA/AML, sanctions screening, and transaction monitoring frameworks, with experience preparing SARs or regulatory filings. You understand the sponsor bank/fintech program manager dynamic and bring a detail-obsessed, organized approach with strong written and verbal communication. Experience at an early-stage hypergrowth startup and familiarity with compliance tech platforms (KYC tools, transaction monitoring systems, case management) are valued. Any compliance certifications are a plus. You must be authorized to work in the United States.
