Senior Manager, FinCrimes/AML – KYC

About the Role

Polymarket US is hiring a Senior Manager of KYC to own our Know Your Customer program end-to-end. This is a hands-on leadership role sitting within the Legal and Compliance function. You will be responsible for the design, implementation, and ongoing maintenance of our CIP, CDD, and EDD processes, and you will manage a team of KYC analysts who execute against those programs daily. The mandate is clear: build a KYC program that meets CFTC, BSA, and OFAC requirements, scales with our growth, and does not create unnecessary friction for customers trying to get on the platform.

This role matters because Polymarket is operating in a fast-moving regulatory environment, and we need someone who has been here before. You will be setting the standards, writing the procedures, and making the calls that determine how we identify and manage customer risk across the full client lifecycle, including clearing members, market participants, and institutional clients. You will coordinate closely with Operations, Product, and Legal to make sure KYC requirements are embedded into onboarding workflows from the start, not bolted on after the fact.

If you have personally rebuilt or designed a KYC framework at a regulated FinTech or derivatives firm, managed a team of AML analysts through a period of real growth, and navigated a regulatory exam without significant findings, this role was written for you.

What You'll Do

• Own and continuously maintain Polymarket's KYC program, including all CIP, CDD, and EDD policies, procedures, and process documentation, keeping them current with CFTC, NFA, and BSA requirements.

• Design and refine the customer risk rating methodology, including documentation standards, escalation criteria, and decisioning frameworks, and recalibrate it as customer profiles and regulatory expectations evolve.
