Compliance Operations Manager

We are seeking a Compliance Operations Manager to own the compliance operations at Anchor. This role is both hands-on and strategic: you will shape, refine, and execute core compliance controls while ensuring our processes align with evolving regulatory expectations, operational needs, and banking partner requirements.

As the central compliance function operational owner, you will oversee onboarding controls, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, investigations, documentation, and readiness for future reporting obligations. You will work cross-functionally with internal teams and external partners to ensure Anchor maintains a strong and scalable compliance posture.

This role has a meaningful impact on elevating Anchor’s compliance processes, improving operational quality, and supporting Anchor’s continued growth.

• 3–4 years of experience in AML, BSA compliance, financial crime operations, fraud investigations, or regulated payments environments (fintech experience preferred).
• Demonstrated experience overseeing compliance processes such as KYB/KYC onboarding, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and case investigations.
• Proven ability to make independent, risk-based decisions and apply sound judgment to ambiguous or time-sensitive situations.
• Strong written communication skills with experience drafting regulatory-grade case narratives, decision rationales, and operational documentation.
• Experience with ACH payment systems, payments infrastructure, or SaaS billing platforms (preferred but not required).
• Personal attributes: analytical, structured, dependable, proactive, and integrity-driven; able to challenge assumptions, improve processes, and operate with both autonomy and accountability.
