AML & Technical Compliance

Please Note: This is a Utah-based hybrid position which will require some regular in-office days each week. Additionally, employment with BambooHR is contingent on passing both a background and credit check.

Who You Are

If we asked your coworkers to describe you, they might say “organized,” “steady,” “high judgment,” and “oddly enthusiastic about making complicated systems work better.” You have a knack for taking messy, ambiguous work and turning it into simple, repeatable processes that people actually follow. You’re the kind of person who can manage sensitive information with care, keep multiple things moving at once, and still notice the one detail that matters.

You also like building systems. Not physical ones, but the workflows, documentation, and tools that turn complicated requirements into work that actually runs smoothly.

Essential Job Duties

This is a builder and runner role. You’ll help create systems, and then operate and improve them over time.

In other words: you won’t just follow processes; you’ll help design the machine that makes the process work. And then you’ll help operate that machine, iterating for improvement and working with others toward ongoing effectiveness.

In this role, you’ll help build and run parts of our anti-money laundering (AML), sanctions, transaction monitoring, digital accessibility, and other technical compliance programs. Some days that means reviewing alerts or investigating sanctions hits. Other days it means improving monitoring processes, organizing documentation, responding to customer compliance inquiries, or helping coordinate efforts related to things like digital accessibility.

You will:

• review and resolve AML alerts and sanctions hits, escalating issues when appropriate

• maintain accurate, audit-ready records for AML and technical compliance activities

• administer and maintain third-party tools used for AML screening and monitoring

• help design and improve transaction monitoring standards, workflows, and documentation and then implement those transaction monitoring processes

• develop and improve procedures that turn changing regulatory requirements into clear, repeatable processes

• support internal and external audits by gathering documentation, preparing evidence, and coordinating responses

• respond to customer compliance questionnaires and due diligence requests

• track compliance initiatives and follow up on open workstreams so that important work keeps moving

• monitor regulatory developments related to AML, sanctions, and technical compliance, and flag potential impacts

• look for thoughtful ways to improve how compliance work happens—better documentation, smarter workflows, or new tools

• relentlessly pursue answers to easy-to-overlook problems

What You Need to Get the Job Done

• You feel aligned with BambooHR values and how we work

• You have strong organizational skills and can manage multiple workstreams without losing track of details

• You exercise good judgment and can be trusted with sensitive and confidential information

• You are able to prioritize and reprioritize projects to reflect urgency and importance,

• You communicate clearly and professionally and know when to ask questions versus when to move things forward

• You are comfortable learning and using digital tools such as compliance platforms, spreadsheets, and documentation systems

• You can look at spreadsheets and see the story behind the data

• You are comfortable creating structure within ambiguity

• You are flexible and can work cooperatively with cross-functional teams from product, engineering, customer experience, and legal

• You naturally keep documentation organized, accurate, and audit ready

• You can navigate regulatory materials (statutes, regulations, guidance) and locate authoritative information when needed

• You bring to your role unflagging curiosity and a willingness to learn

What Will Make Us REALLY Love You

• One or more years of experience in compliance, risk, audit, legal operations, financial operations, or another process-heavy role

• Familiarity with AML or sanctions concepts such as screening, alert review, escalation, or reporting

• Experience building or improving operational systems, workflows, or documentation from scratch

• Excitement and a level of comfort in using digital tools (including AI tools) to improve or automate repetitive work

• A habit of looking for ways to make serious work clearer, smarter, and more human

• A belief that lawyers are people too (note: this role sits on the Legal team)

• A sense of humor and a penchant for fun

What You'll Love About Us

• A Great Company Culture that has been recognized by multiple organizations like Inc, and Salt Lake Tribune

• Comprehensive health, life, and disability insurance

• Generous leave policies that include 4 weeks of vacation, 12 company holidays, parental leave, and volunteer time off so you can enjoy quality of life

• 401k plans with up to 6% company match

• $2000 Paid-Paid Vacation bonus
