About the role

Compliance Analyst role focused on AML, financial crime, and regulatory compliance within Carta’s transactional compliance team, supporting KYC, deal reviews, and multi‑jurisdictional governance.

Responsibilities

  • Dig into transaction structures. Work closely with private equity deal teams to understand deal anatomy, identify counterparties, and conduct risk analysis with a focus on AML, bribery, financial crime, and reputational exposure.
  • Unpack complex entity ownership. Review ownership and control structures — fund vehicles, SPVs, partnerships, trusts — to build a complete and accurate picture of who sits behind every transaction.
  • Drive the materials-gathering process. Liaise with deal teams, legal, compliance, and counterparties to obtain the documentation needed to complete KYC reviews on time and to a high standard.
  • Keep deals compliant. Collaborate with clients' legal and compliance teams to ensure their transactions meet AML/CTF regulations, internal policies, and jurisdiction-specific requirements — flagging issues early so deals don't stall at closing.

Qualifications

  • 1-2+ years of working or internship experience in a legal sector role, internship, or graduate position — with working knowledge of legal administration, document review, and regulatory compliance.
  • Analytically minded and meticulous. Ability to work through complex structures carefully and document clearly.
  • Clear communicator in writing and conversation. Precise written work and professional verbal communication.
  • Deadline-oriented and adaptable. Ability to manage multiple priorities under pressure in a fast-moving compliance environment.
  • Curious about private markets. Familiarity with fund structures, offshore jurisdictions (Cayman, Luxembourg), or KYC screening tools (WorldCheck, Refinitiv, RDC) is advantageous. ICA or ACAMS certification is a plus.
