About the role 
The Compliance Analyst will proactively execute and manage a risk monitoring program for testing all key compliance and security controls required to effectively administer the AML and Information Security programs and maintain preparedness for all internal and external audits of these programs. The most critical of these is maintaining audit readiness for the annual PCI and SOC certifications and AML independent review but will also include ongoing testing of controls as required by the Card Brands, Sponsor/Acquiring Banks, processing partners, and clients in fulfillment of our contractual requirements. 
This role is key to ensuring that we are operating the processes required by our AML and InfoSec programs effectively and can provide evidence of such when requested for audits. It will also allow Finix to identify risks and gaps and remediate these in a timely manner, protecting us from possible security breaches, money laundering, or other suspicious activities. This analyst will be the foundation of our risk program which will grow as the business scales.
This hybrid role entails working in the office 4 days per week in our San Francisco HQ.
