The Team You'll Work With

You'll be joining our Compliance – Transactional Sub Division.

This team works at the intersection of private equity deal-making and regulatory compliance — conducting KYC due diligence on complex asset management entities to ensure every transaction Carta supports is clean, compliant, and defensible. You'll partner with deal teams, lawyers, and compliance professionals on live transactions involving fund structures, SPVs, and multi-jurisdictional counterparties.

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
