Socure is building identity trust infrastructure for the digital economy, verifying identities in real time and stopping fraud. The company is seeking a Compliance Operations Manager to serve as the compliance expert at the intersection of regulatory landscape, product/technology teams, go-to-market strategy, and customer compliance programs.
In this role, you will be the compliance partner to engineering and data science teams, developing rigorous frameworks, taxonomies, and methodologies that power the context layer underlying Socure's AML platform. You will track regulatory developments across OFAC, FATF, FinCEN, and international frameworks, translating them into product strategy and roadmap implications. As regulations evolve, you will help shape what Socure builds next and position the company at the forefront of the compliance ecosystem.
Beyond internal product work, you will help build Socure's professional services and advisory capability—a program designed to help customers develop and mature their own AML programs using Socure's platform. You will shape the structure, partnerships, and operational model that makes this program scalable, positioning Socure as a true compliance partner rather than just a technology vendor.
Key responsibilities include: maintaining frameworks and taxonomies for country risk ratings, sanctions classification, PEP categorization, and adverse media signals; partnering with Data Science and Engineering on compliance intelligence representation in watchlist systems; tracking regulatory developments and translating them into product features and customer communications; designing and building the professional services advisory program; and acting as the compliance subject matter expert across Product, Engineering, Data Science, Sales, and Customer Success. You will support enterprise deals with compliance due diligence, RFP responses, and regulatory inquiry support, interface directly with customers on complex compliance questions, and develop smart automations using AI to reduce operational burden.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 5–7 years of experience in AML compliance operations, sanctions screening, or financial crime operations at a financial institution, fintech, or compliance technology company
- Working knowledge of OFAC sanctions programs, FATF guidance, BSA/AML regulations, and PEP screening standards
- Experience maintaining or auditing watchlist and sanctions data sources, including list provenance tracking and quality control
- Familiarity with GRC frameworks and AML taxonomy structures: sanctions type classification, PEP categories, adverse media signals, and country risk ratings
- Hands-on technical operator able to leverage technology to improve customer experience and scale operations
- Strong attention to detail and ability to manage operational processes with rigorous documentation
- Effective communicator across technical (Engineering, Data Science) and non-technical (Sales, Compliance Buyers) stakeholders
- CAMS certification or equivalent AML compliance credential preferred
