About Reap

Reap is a global financial technology company headquartered in Hong Kong with employees across multiple countries. We enable financial connectivity and access for businesses worldwide by combining traditional finance with stablecoins for efficient money movement.

Through our stablecoin-powered corporate cards, payments, and expense management tools, we streamline financial operations and help businesses scale. Our APIs enable businesses to integrate stablecoin-enabled finance into their own products and services—from issuing Visa cards to facilitating cross-border payments.

Backed by leading investors including Index Ventures and HashKey Capital, Reap is building the future of borderless, stablecoin-enabled finance.

Operations at Reap

At Reap, Operations is more than a function—it's what makes scale possible. We build the foundation for our products: an intelligent, automated framework that delivers seamless customer experiences. Our mission is to turn complexity into competitive advantage. We treat manual tasks as bugs to be fixed and operate as the critical link between innovative products and real‑world delivery.

We're looking for architects, not just operators. If building elegant solutions for complex problems energizes you—and you want to shape the operational backbone for global finance—this is your team.

What You'll Do

You will own and drive end-to-end compliance operations across client lifecycle stages and transaction flows. Key responsibilities include:

Onboarding KYC/KYB Reviews

Conduct and sign off on due diligence for new and existing clients, including assessing complex corporate structures, international UBOs, and business models with higher-risk elements.

Payment Reviews & Transaction Monitoring

Execute real-time and post-transaction investigations with a deep understanding of cross-border payment risks. Identify, assess, and escalate suspicious patterns, fraud indicators, or financial crime exposure.

Periodic Reviews & Ongoing Monitoring

Lead ongoing due diligence checks and risk re-rating exercises, ensuring continued alignment with internal AML policies and evolving risk appetite.

Alert Handling & Investigations

Triage and investigate alerts from internal systems (e.g., sanctions, transaction anomalies, adverse media). Document cases with clear rationale and elevate high-risk items in line with escalation protocols.

Risk-Based Thinking & Data Analysis

Interpret and leverage data trends to identify potential policy gaps, process inefficiencies, or client behavioral red flags. Collaborate with analytics or product teams to refine rules and controls.

SOP Development, QA Involvement & Project Ownership

Drive the drafting and enhancement of SOPs, control checklists, and workflows in alignment with global AML/CTF policies. Partner with the QA team to ensure consistency and execution quality. You will also help design and implement the maker-checker (2-eye/4-eye) process, and serve as checker for escalated or sensitive cases.

Regulatory Readiness

Support internal reviews, audits, and regulatory inquiries by maintaining high-quality documentation and being audit-ready at all times.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking a high-performing compliance professional who can operate independently while contributing to the strategic buildout of our global compliance operations.

Experience

Minimum 5–7 years of experience in compliance operations or financial crime compliance, ideally with exposure to fintech, payments, EMIs/MSBs, or regulated financial institutions
End-to-end exposure across KYC/KYB, transaction monitoring, STR/SAR processes, sanctions screening, and ongoing due diligence

AML Knowledge

Strong familiarity with global AML/CTF standards (e.g., FATF, FinCEN, MAS, HKMA, FCA) and ability to translate them into operational processes within a risk-based compliance framework

Strategic Execution & Maker-Checker Design

Proven ability to balance execution with strategy, and experience building workflows and control structures
Experience implementing or managing 2-eye/4-eye review frameworks, including performing the checker role on risk-sensitive cases

Project Ownership

Strong ownership mindset, with the ability to lead and deliver small-to-medium compliance projects
Comfortable coordinating across teams such as Product, Growth, QA, Legal, and Finance Ops

Work Ethic & Time Zone Flexibility

Able to work independently and align with Hong Kong public holidays
Willing to work during local public holidays if based outside of Hong Kong (compensatory leave will be provided)

Language Proficiency

Fluent in business English (spoken and written)
Ability to read Chinese (Traditional and Simplified) is a plus
Proficiency in any additional language (e.g., Spanish, Portuguese, etc.) is a strong advantage
