Job Description

We’re growing our Compliance Operations team at Chariot to help keep charitable dollars moving safely as Chariot scales. Because Chariot runs as a program with a partner bank, compliance isn’t a back-office function here. Rather, it’s core to how we build and grow.

You’ll own day-to-day compliance casework across onboarding, transaction monitoring, sanctions and fraud. You’ll dig into the escalated and complex cases and find the trends behind them. You’ll also design and scale the systems and tooling that keep our compliance program ahead of our growth. And you’ll be the go-to partner for our bank and auditors, and for the nonprofits, fundraising platforms and grantmakers we work with.

Responsibilities

• Review and clear escalated compliance onboarding cases and transaction monitoring cases, clearing out every case to get to "inbox zero" each day.

• Review KYC/KYB onboarding for nonprofits and payers, including high- and medium-risk applicants and control person checks
• Run nonprofit verification reviews, including church verifications and other unlisted tax exempt organizations
• Review and decide OFAC sanctions, PEP and adverse media alerts
• Work transaction monitoring and check-fraud alerts, and escalate suspicious activity
• Complete periodic due diligence (PDD) on all customers and enhanced due diligence (EDD) on higher-risk customers
• Document each decision clearly in the case record
• Work with the team to meet our case SLAs
• Assisting with customer support for compliance onboardings

Program and reporting

• Prepare compliance reporting for our partner bank
• Support the annual independent BSA/AML/NACHA audits
• Tune transaction monitoring and fraud rules on live data and propose changes
• Keep policies and SOPs current as the product changes
• Run compliance trainings and phishing tests for the team

Systems and partners

• Be the day-to-day compliance contact for nonprofits, fundraising platforms, grantmakers and vendors, and support partner go-lives
• Improve workflows in our operations dashboard and vendor tools, including shipping changes yourself, so we can handle 1,000+ cases a day without losing accuracy
• Use AI and documentation to speed up compliance customer support
• In-person position at Chariot’s NYC office. </aside>
