Hiring: KYC Operations Associate Company: AngelList Location: New York, NY Job Posted Time: 2026-09-10 11:54:27 Employment Type: Full-time Target Skills & Keywords : REST About the job Required Skills: •Every dollar that moves through AngelList starts with a verified investor. KYC is not a back-office checkbox here; it sits on the critical path of every close, and it has to be fast enough that investors feel no friction and rigorous enough to defend to an auditor. We're hiring a KYC Operations Associate to help own that standard. •This is a full-time role reporting to an Operations Manager on our banking operations team. It suits someone who is high ownership, precise by default, operates independently, and wants to become the kind of KYC/AML expert this industry has few of. •Run KYC/KYB/CDD reviews end to end. Verify individual and entity investors, including identity, beneficial ownership, and sanctions/PEP/adverse media screening, accurately and within SLA, through volume spikes. •Make the hard calls. Disposition screening hits and layered ownership structures, escalate cases needing enhanced due diligence, and document every decision well enough that an auditor could reconstruct it. •Be the expert. Serve as a consistent, reliable KYC resource for internal teams and external stakeholders, with answers people can build on. •Fix the system. Turn queue pain points into shipped product improvements with engineering and adapt to compliance policy changes. •Design the system that replaces the queue. Build agents and automations against real KYC volume, watch where they fail, and iterate. You'll be expected to contribute to architecting this, not adopting it. •If you don’t meet every requirement above, we still encourage you to apply. We value complementary strengths and operators who learn by doing.
