Relay is a digital banking platform that gives self-made business owners the tools and know-how to be great with money—bringing clarity, confidence, and control to every dollar earned, so they can turn hard work into lasting success. We do this by replacing financial guesswork with real visibility, transforming cash flow from a constant source of stress into a clear signal owners can use to run stronger, more resilient businesses. Our mission is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Traditional banking has been a growth limiter rather than a growth enabler for business owners, and we're changing that. Relay is the all-in-one, collaborative money management platform. We're building for employer SMBs and their finance function, and we're focused on delivering a human-centric customer experience. Relay processes millions of dollars in deposits, wires, checks, and card transactions every business day, and 321,000+ small business owners trust us with their money. The Transaction Monitoring team is why that trust is warranted. Every transaction we review is a decision: hold or release, investigate or clear. Positive decisions mean legitimate business owners get their money fast and bad actors get stopped before they succeed. We're looking for someone with real transaction monitoring experience who is curious, decisive, and excited to build with AI, not just work a queue. What You'll Be Doing: Own the risk strategy and operating model for new products, beginning with credit and payroll Build and manage day-to-day risk operations, ensuring reviews and decisions are timely, consistent,
