Compliance & Ops Manager / Sr. Analyst
Company: USD.AI Foundation
Location: Remote, but able to collaborate with teams based in US Eastern Time Zone

Level: Flexible — Senior Analyst to Manager, commensurate with experience

The Team
Our team draws experience from DRW, Deutsche Bank, Rockpoint, Nansen, Balancer, and other leading DeFi and TradFi institutions. We are Series A+ funded by Coinbase Ventures, Framework, Dragonfly, DCG, Nascent, Ethereal, and others. We are growing rapidly and have recently announced strategic partnerships with PayPal, Aravolta, and others.
We have no middle managers and move quickly from idea to execution. You will work directly with founders and senior team members on live deals.
The Role
This is a hybrid compliance and credit operations role built around a single through-line: owning the integrity of every counterparty relationship — before, during, and after the loan. You will run the KYB/AML and wallet screening infrastructure that lets us onboard and connect borrowers and depositors confidently, and you will monitor those same counterparties throughout the life of financings to ensure they remain in good standing. You will also collaborate cross functionally to ensure that our products embed and reflect robust compliance infrastructures in their core development.
The role sits at the intersection of two disciplines by design. KYB compliance and loan covenant monitoring are two phases of the same obligation. You will ensure policies and procedures match with best practices, and build and maintain the systems, processes, and data partnerships that connect them.
Title and level are flexible for the right candidate. We are looking for someone with genuine depth in at least one of the two disciplines and the intellectual range to grow into the other.
Responsibilities
Compliance Infrastructure (~ 75%)
- Lead quarterly review of compliance policy, procedural frameworks, and technology stack; stay current on industry best practices for crypto lending and DeFi protocol compliance.
- Own the Foundation’s KYB process end-to-end — manage onboarding flows for new borrowers and major commercial partners, including document collection, review, escalation, and sign-off.
- Liaise with product and engineering teams to bring compliance perspective to road mapping and development and ensure policy guidelines are met in front-end functionality.
- Take ownership of wallet screening workflows and manage ongoing compliance data partnerships (blockchain analytics providers and similar vendors).
- Handle inbound KYB requests for the Foundation entities and coordinate with registered agents and external counsel as needed.
- Maintain compliance records and audit trails in a manner appropriate for a multi-jurisdictional entity structure.
Asset Management Ops & Ongoing Monitoring (~25%)
- Support monitoring of the active loan portfolio for debt covenant compliance — track financial and operational covenants across borrowers and flag deviations promptly.
- Interface directly with borrowers to ensure timely delivery of required financial reporting; own the reporting compliance calendar and follow-up process.
- Monitor borrower operational partners and service providers against contractual SLAs; escalate breaches or at-risk relationships to the deal team.
- Build and iterate on internal tracking tools, dashboards, or playbooks that systematize the monitoring function as the portfolio grows.
Requirements
- 3-7 years experience with compliance operations including KYB, AML, or counterparty due diligence processes — you understand what a strong compliance program looks like and can re-build it from scratch.
- Experience at a crypto-native firm, DeFi protocol, or digital asset lender.
- Strong operational instincts: you build processes that scale, document them, and hold counterparties to them without being adversarial.
- Have overseen a portfolio of service providers and held them accountable to SLA achievement
- Able to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously with minimal supervision in a fast-moving environment.
- Comfort with financial reporting and covenant monitoring — you can read a loan agreement, understand the compliance obligations it creates, and build a system to track them.
- Familiarity with blockchain analytics tools (Chainalysis, Elliptic, TRM Labs, or similar).
- Exposure to structured finance, asset-backed lending, or similar. Experience with credit operations, or portfolio monitoring at a lender, credit fund, fintech, or financial institution.
- Experience working with multi-jurisdictional entity structures (Cayman, BVI, Panama, or similar).
- Base salary: USD $95,000 - $140,000 depending on experience and location
- Long-term token incentive package.
- Unlimited PTO.
- Health & wellness reimbursements.
