About the role:
We are seeking a dynamic, self-motivated compliance professional to join our Compliance team. In this role, you will own and manage the execution of a broad portfolio of critical compliance initiatives. From day one, a key aspect of the role will be owning and managing a range of banking compliance activities working with our bank partners and internal stakeholders.
We view regulatory compliance as a key driver of innovation, and this position presents a unique opportunity to play a foundational role in continuing to build and implement our forward-thinking compliance strategy for the company. As AngelList continues to grow and evolve, you will work both independently and collaboratively with other members of the Legal and Compliance team and the broader company to help navigate complex sets of rules, regulations, business partner requirements, and industry best practices. In addition to banking compliance, this role touches various other parts of AngelList’s compliance framework, including, for example, program design and administration, regulatory reporting, surveillance, internal controls testing, policy development, and special projects.
The right person for the role will enjoy finding creative compliance solutions and moving quickly, often in the face of ambiguity and without significant day-to-day guidance.

- Manage the execution and administration of various U.S. and non-U.S. compliance initiatives and tasks, including, for example, administering the AML/KYC/KYB program, (including transaction monitoring and investigations), and maintaining the comprehensive compliance calendar and compliance exception documentation
- Develop and manage scalable and innovative solutions to help mitigate compliance risks and as needed due to regulatory or business changes
- Coordinate cross-functionally with other AngelList teams, including product and engineering, to “productize” compliance
- Provide subject matter expertise on banking compliance, AML/KYC, and other compliance matters to internal and external stakeholders
- Develop and maintain compliance program infrastructure, including internal Compliance Notion pages, playbooks, etc.
- Develop and deploy targeted compliance training
- Monitor ongoing regulatory actions, guidance and changes that may impact the company’s compliance program
- Perform audits, reviews, and quality assurance checks/testing as needed
Other characteristics of the ideal candidate:
- 4+ years working in compliance or a relevant function in the financial technology sector or financial services
- Familiarity with various bank- and payments-related regulations and compliance areas, including AML/Bank Secrecy Act, Regulation E, AML/Bank Secrecy Act, UDAAP, E-Sign Act, and FDIC advertising rules
- Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) certification is a plus
- Experience using identity verification, fraud & AML monitoring software, such as Alloy or Persona is a plus
- Experience managing or supporting bank partner relationships
- Comfort with owning a process from end to end with minimal supervision
- Ability to work cross-functionally and collaboratively with internal stakeholders
- Curiosity about new regulations and technologies
- Exceptional attention to detail and strong problem-solving skills
