We’re a team of A-players who are all-in on solving big, important problems. Feeling it?

REQUIREMENTS

Today, you might be an Onboarding or KYC Specialist. Because this role will be a key stakeholder in helping us build and iterate on an excellent onboarding model, you should be well-versed in the world of KYC and KYB. As a KYC Associate, you'll focus on application reviews, onboarding model performance, leveraging your on-the-ground knowledge to identify and highlight emerging trends, and work with internal and external stakeholders as needed to support NorthOne's Compliance program. 

The skills required for this role - 

  • You have up to 1 year of experience working in Fintech or banking KYC operations. If you don’t have this experience, but you understand what KYC is and get giddy thinking about it, let’s talk anyway.
  • An eye for detail while conducting reviews quickly and accurately.
  • Able to navigate ambiguity; comfortable with the idea of informed risk taking.
  • Know what you don’t know, but follow the risk in any given scenario.
  • Excellent written communication skills that create a positive customer experience, even when a customer turns out to not be a great fit.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, geographically-distributed environment.
  • Flexibility to work a variety of shifts, as needed.

Bonus points - 

  • Familiarity with business intelligence, KYC vendor and CRM tools (Looker, Trulio, IDology, LexisNexis, ComplyAdvantage, Intercom, Zendesk, etc).
  • Scaling startup background - you’ve successfully navigated rapid growth.
  • Experience scaling onboarding teams and models.
  • You have worked in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment.
  • You come from a family of small business owners.
  • You have a non-traditional or diverse background (personal or professional). You’ve lived a life that is different, where you've been challenged or have chosen to challenge yourself.

BENEFITS

As a valuable member of NorthOne’s team, you’ll get:

  • Family coverage of top-tier health/dental benefits: Get the right coverage for what matters most.
  • Remote-first work: You decide where you work. You can work from home, visit one of our in person hubs, or work while you travel.
  • Professional development budget: Enjoy an annual budget to deepen your expertise
  • Unlimited paid time off: We measure success around outcomes, not hours worked.
  • Powerful gear: We’ll make sure you have the right tech to do your best work.
  • Market range for this role at NorthOne is $50,000 - $60,000 depending on experience. 

Few people have been trained for this sort of role and research shows that women and people from underrepresented groups are less likely to apply if they haven’t satisfied every requirement. If you are this close to what we’ve described, but aren’t sure, apply. Let’s figure out together if this is where you could shine.

NorthOne is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and celebrates diversity. We welcome all applicants regardless of race, colour, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, disability status or national origin.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
