About the role 

The Compliance Monitoring Analyst will proactively execute and manage a risk monitoring program for testing all key compliance and security controls required to effectively administer the AML and Information Security programs and maintain preparedness for all internal and external audits of these programs. The most critical of these is maintaining audit readiness for the annual PCI and SOC certifications and AML independent review but will also include ongoing testing of controls as required by the Card Brands, Sponsor/Acquiring Banks, processing partners, and clients in fulfillment of our contractual requirements. 

This role is key to ensuring that we are operating the processes required by our AML and InfoSec programs effectively and can provide evidence of such when requested for audits. It will also allow Finix to identify risks and gaps and remediate these in a timely manner, protecting us from possible security breaches, money laundering, or other suspicious activities. This analyst will be the foundation of our risk program which will grow as the business scales.

This hybrid role entails working in the office 4 days per week in our San Francisco HQ.

• Manage key risk updates and remediation in our Drata GRC tool.
• Develop and execute quarterly internal risk self-assessments and mini-audits of key controls, documenting required remediation to stay ahead of potential risks.
• Oversee critical areas such as User Access reviews, Firewall rules reviews, Change Management, Vulnerability Management, Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery, and Employee training compliance.
• Ensure compliance with PCI requirements for merchants, sub-merchants, and vendor PCI/SOC reports, and run OFAC sanctions screening during vendor approvals and contract renewals.
• Conduct comprehensive compliance and risk reviews for all vendors and clients, ensuring they meet the corporate InfoSec program's requirements.
