About the role

Paralegal/Transactional KYC Analyst supporting AML/CTF compliance within Carta's Transactional Sub Division, focusing on due diligence, complex entity structures, and timely KYC reviews across multi-jurisdictional transactions in private markets.

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
  • A clear communicator in writing and in conversation
  • Deadline-oriented and adaptable
  • Curious about private markets. Familiarity with fund structures, offshore jurisdictions (Cayman, Luxembourg), or KYC screening tools (WorldCheck, Refinitiv, RDC) is a meaningful advantage. ICA or ACAMS certification is a plus.
