AngelList Venture is hiring a KYC Operations Associate to own know-your-customer (KYC) and know-your-business (KYB) operations on the critical path of investor verification and fund closes. This is a full-time role reporting to an Operations Manager on the banking operations team. You will run KYC/KYB/CDD reviews end-to-end, verifying individual and entity investors through identity checks, beneficial ownership analysis, and sanctions/PEP/adverse media screening. You'll work a high-volume queue while maintaining accuracy within SLAs, even during volume spikes. A core responsibility is making disposition decisions on screening hits and layered ownership structures, escalating cases requiring enhanced due diligence, and documenting decisions thoroughly for audit reconstruction. Beyond queue work, you'll serve as the KYC/AML subject matter expert for internal teams and external stakeholders, providing reliable guidance others can build on. You'll identify pain points in current processes and partner with engineering to ship product improvements and with compliance to adapt to policy changes. A significant part of this role involves designing the next-generation system that replaces manual queue work. You'll build agents and automations against real KYC volume, observe failure modes, iterate, and contribute to the architecture of AI-driven solutions rather than simply adopting them. Ideal candidates have 3+ years in KYC/AML operations, customer due diligence, or financial compliance at a fintech, bank, or fund administrator. You should have working fluency in CIP, CDD/EDD, beneficial ownership analysis, and sanctions/PEP screening. You're precise by default, catch your own mistakes before others do, and maintain accuracy under high-volume pressure. You operate independently with broad scope, don't need a fully defined lane, and are energized rather than unsettled when tools and processes change. You reach for automation and AI solutions before checklists and have a point of view on how AI transforms KYC work.
