About Vinyl Equity
We’re building the next generation of capital-markets infrastructure, starting with a modern, digital-native transfer agent designed for today’s public companies. Our platform replaces slow, manual processes with secure, automated workflows — delivering the first API-driven, real-time infrastructure for public companies.
Backed by Index Ventures, Spark Capital, Jump, MUFG, and Infinity Ventures, our team includes veterans from NYSE, Equiniti, Computershare, and AngelList. Our Engineering team is headquartered in Mangaluru.
About the Role
You'll execute the day-to-day operations of a U.S. stock transfer agency — transaction processing, KYC/KYB, shareholder support, and compliance reporting — under our Operations Lead as we build out the India Operations team. This is a builder-of-execution role: precision, escalation judgment, and SOP discipline first; process ownership grows as you do.
Key Responsibilities
Process transfers, issuances, and DTC activity (DWAC, DRS, FAST) under maker-checker controls
Resolve reconciliation and out-of-balance items same-day
Review KYC/KYB documentation and triage false positives against primary sources
Escalate OFAC/sanctions and adverse-media matches immediately
Handle shareholder and issuer support requests via queue, email, and phone
Support SEC compliance reporting (Rules 17Ad-2/17Ad-6/17Ad-17, DTCC CBRS, escheatment)
Support proxy season, paying agency, and corporate actions processing
Support new-issuer onboarding and legacy record ingestion
Flag SOP gaps and procedure drift to the Operations Lead
Role Requirements
3+ years in securities or transfer agency operations
Background at an RTA, global transfer agent, asset manager, or bank securities-services center
Strong data skills: Excel/Sheets, unfamiliar file formats (CSV, fixed-width)
Confident user of Claude or an equivalent AI assistant
Meticulous attention to detail and clear written English
Reliability against hard cutoffs; this role operates on U.S. Eastern Time (ET) hours
High integrity and discretion handling PII and material non-public information
Nice to Haves
Exposure to DTC/DTCC systems (FAST, DWAC, DRS Profile, CBRS) and SEC 17Ad-series rules
Experience with record conversions/deconversions or legacy data migration
Familiarity with Rule 144, medallion guarantees, escheatment, KYC/KYB, or AML
Experience supporting U.S. or cross-border clients from India against U.S.-hours SLAs
Benefits
Competitive compensation based on experience
Equity participation
Comprehensive health insurance (self + family)
Paid leave and wellness benefits
Fully remote (India), working U.S. Eastern Time (ET) hours
