Sanctions Investigator

Mercury is building a complete finance stack for startups. We work hard to create the easiest and safest banking experience possible to simplify entrepreneurs' and business owners' financial lives. The challenge is to do so while ensuring we protect Mercury, customers, and the broader financial ecosystem from sanctions violations and potential reputational risks.

Our Sanctions Program is crucial in this mission and is responsible for monitoring, investigating, and mitigating sanctions risks. This team is growing, and we're looking to hire a Sanctions Investigator to support our efforts in watchlist screening, transaction monitoring, and managing alerts for politically exposed persons (PEPs) and adverse media. As a member of the Sanctions team, you'll help handle our sanctions-related queues while balancing an eagle eye for risk with excellent user experience.

You'll start conducting thorough screening investigations and escalating issues to the appropriate teams when necessary. You will be responsible for reviewing onboarding and ongoing monitoring alerts, with minimal impact on applicants and customers, while safeguarding Mercury from potential sanctions violations and reputational risk. You'll report directly to the Sr. Sanctions Manager and will be supported by a highly functional Financial Crimes team within Compliance.
