Due Diligence Senior Analyst

As Marqeta's Due Diligence Senior Analyst, you will lead comprehensive due diligence assessments that protect Marqeta, our customers/programs, and our issuing bank partners - while ensuring a smooth, high-quality experience for the customers and banks we partner with. You'll be a key member of the Program Due Diligence (PDD) team within Risk & Compliance, partnering with subject matter experts across Legal, Financial Crimes, Information Security, Finance, etc. to evaluate programs before and after launch.

You'll also partner with Go-to-Market (GTM) teams to guide customers through the Due Diligence process to program launch, and support bank requests across Marqeta's bank partners across the US, Canada, and EU. This role goes beyond execution: you'll own workstreams, shape risk frameworks, and bring a consultative, independent perspective that elevates how the PDD team operates.

We work Flexible First. This role can be performed remotely anywhere within Ontario or British Columbia, Canada. We'd love for you to join us!

This position is both for an existing and not existing vacancy.
