What you’ll do

We’re hiring a hands-on Verification Risk Ops Associate to support large-user special handling, migrations, and ORR activities. This person will review KYC and KYB docs, run data queries and reports, manage queues and routing, troubleshoot with users, and lead large-scale migrations and grace-period deployments.

Responsibilities

• Plan, lead, and execute large-user migrations end-to-end—coordinate technical steps, apply migration-based grace periods (AMP), monitor progress, resolve blockers, and ensure smooth onboarding at scale.

• Run and interpret Hubble and SQL queries and build simple dashboards to track migration status, rejection rates and types, SLAs, and backlogs. Use data to set priorities and drive migration decisions.

• Configure internal systems queues for migration workflows—create, update, and close queues, and set routing and prioritization rules to support high-volume changes.

• Execute and validate reporting and API integrations for large users during migrations. Troubleshoot data, sync, or integration issues.

• Review KYC and KYB documents and make verification decisions for onboarding and exception cases.

• Communicate with account teams, Vendor Managers, and external users—lead status calls, set meeting cadence, escalate approvals to leadership when required, and coordinate cross-functional input.

• Join user calls and incident channels to troubleshoot live issues, remove blockers quickly, and participate in incident response when tagged.

• Provide weekly and ad-hoc status updates to stakeholders and the Special Handling DRI. Maintain timelines and clear exit criteria for projects.

• Create and maintain documentation—plans, Jira tickets, runbooks, post-mortems, and retrospective notes to capture lessons learned.
