The Problems You'll Solve

At Carta, our employees set out on a mission to unlock the power of equity ownership for more people in more places. We believe that the problems we solve today unlock the opportunities of tomorrow. As a Transactional KYC Analyst, you'll work to:

• 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.

About You

• Early-career with strong legal or compliance foundations. You have 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. You work through complex structures carefully and methodically — you catch what matters and document it clearly.
• A clear communicator in writing and in conversation. Your written work is precise and professional; your verbal communication gives counterparties and colleagues confidence that you know what you're doing.
• Deadline-oriented and adaptable. You manage multiple priorities under pressure without losing accuracy — and you're energised, not overwhelmed, by 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 a meaningful advantage. ICA or ACAMS certification is a plus.
