Rippling is seeking a Sanctions Operations Associate to join its Financial Crime Compliance Team. The role focuses on reviewing and disposing of sanctions screening alerts generated by Rippling's automated screening program. You will evaluate matches against OFAC and international sanctions lists, apply analytical judgment to distinguish true positives from false positives, escalate confirmed hits, and maintain clear documentation throughout the alert lifecycle. This includes assessing name, geography, and ownership-based hits and ensuring disposition rationales meet audit and regulatory standards.
You will also support end-to-end sanctions due diligence reviews of existing customers, prospects, and third-party partners to ensure alignment with Rippling's risk appetite and applicable sanctions regulations. Due diligence work involves research using open-source, proprietary, and third-party tools; reviewing sanctions-related adverse media; and drafting targeted outreach and escalation questions. You will contribute to risk analyses across a broad spectrum of sanctions exposure and work closely with cross-functional teams including Compliance, KYC, Sales, Implementation, Legal, and Product.
Key responsibilities include: reviewing and dispositioning high volumes of sanctions alerts with clear rationales; conducting research on complex entities and ownership structures; participating in customer-facing due diligence calls; contributing to policy and operational frameworks; producing well-reasoned sanctions risk analyses and governance documentation; staying current on OFAC and international sanctions developments; and supporting internal training and business unit questions.
Rippling is a rapidly growing, venture-backed HR, IT, and Finance platform that has raised $1.4B+ from top-tier investors. The company views compliance as a strategic enabler and builds efficient, technology-driven processes that safeguard the business without slowing growth.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 2-4 years of experience conducting sanctions alert investigations and risk analyses
- Strong working knowledge of multi-jurisdictional sanctions regimes, particularly US (OFAC), EU, and UK programs
- Solid understanding of sanctions typologies, regulatory obligations, and risk assessments involving layered ownership structures and beneficial ownership analysis
