Job description
The company you’ll join
We exist to make investing in the private markets as easy as Robinhood did for public stocks.
More and more people invest in private equity and venture capital every day. Even though this asset class has been around for decades, it wasn’t built to handle this volume of investors. Signing up for Robinhood? It takes 2 minutes. Investing in a VC fund? You’ve got to fill out a 200-question questionnaire each time that you make an investment. The forms aren’t standardized and not every question applies to every investor. Investors miss questions or answer the wrong ones and then have to redo the entire thing.
We built a TurboTax-style workflow for investors to only see the questions that matter to them and see every question that matters to them to make fund closing (i.e. the process of investing into a private fund) easy. Our world record document completion time is 6 minutes.
That may sound boring but we’ve processed billions of dollars for tens of thousands of investors. And by having an investor run through our workflow, we capture their identity so we can allow them to repurpose it wherever they’d like in the future. We call this an investor profile and it’s the whole reason we built this business.
The impact you’ll have
We’ve had a lot of success innovating the onboarding process for investors and now we are looking to do the same thing for AML. You’d be the first hire on the Financial Crime Audit team that will focus on providing assurance to our clients they are in compliance with the new SEC and FinCEN regulatory requirements. We’re looking for people that can grow with us and assist us with expanding our AML business. Our goal is to make our customers love us and their investors recommend us.
The problems you’ll solve
Conduct design and operating effectiveness audits on our clients that require annual independent testing
Presenting findings and observations to client senior management or areas of improvement
Develop financial crime risk and control matrices to cover the Investment Adviser AML and CFT rule
Manage Passthrough’s AML audit platform
Ability to articulate complex investment strategies and financial crime risk
Provide feedback to management and engineering to help improve Passthrough for internal and external users.
Desired Qualifications
Self-starter and self-motivated to hit deadlines without micromanagement
Prior anti-financial crime audit experience with a regulated institution leading audit engagements
Strong knowledge of the Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020, specifically how to test anti-financial crime risks
Familiarity with due diligence screening tools (i.e., ComplyAdvantage, LexisNexis, etc.)
Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist certification, preferably with the CAMS-Audit designation
Expertise in providing management action plans for applicable audit findings and observations discovered during audits
What to expect in the hiring process
We go through the same interview steps for all financial crime compliance candidates to ensure equity in our hiring process. All roles also require a background check.
Our process is designed to learn as much about each candidate as possible, as well as to give candidates access to our team and learn about what it’s like to work at Passthrough.
