KYS Lead

The primary focus of this role is to lead our Know Your Supplier (KYS) program in Mexico, evolving it from a strong operational process into a scalable, risk-based, and increasingly automated framework.
This is not a traditional KYS/KYB analyst role. The person joining will initially work directly on cases to build a deep understanding of our vendor population, processes, tools, and risk scenarios, but the long-term focus is broader: leading complex cases and escalations, improving how KYS operates, and driving its strategic evolution as the company grows. Reporting to the Senior Compliance Lawyer, the KYS Lead will become the main functional point of reference for the KYS team.

Challenges that await you:
Lead the KYS process end-to-end, providing functional direction to the team and ensuring consistent execution, appropriate risk management, and continuous improvement.
Act as the main point of escalation for complex KYS cases and exceptions, making pragmatic, risk-based decisions and involving senior Compliance leadership when appropriate.




Lead KYS conversations with internal stakeholders, senior leadership, and external partners, representing Compliance while balancing risk requirements with practical business needs.
Identify recurring issues and root causes and turn them into sustainable improvements rather than solving the same problems case by case.
Own the KYS improvement roadmap across processes, controls, automation, and scalability, partnering with internal teams and external platforms to translate Compliance and operational needs into practical solutions.
Build visibility into KYS performance by monitoring volumes, SLAs, backlog, turnaround times, escalation drivers, and capacity, using data to identify bottlenecks and prioritize improvements.
Help drive key KYS initiatives, including the continued evolution of the KYS risk matrix, supporting tooling and other initiatives required as the program matures.
Lead risk-based remediation and periodic
