  • Strengthen operational risk controls across custody, wallets, onboarding, payments, and service operations.
  • Work closely with engineering and cybersecurity teams to protect systems, data, and business continuity.
  • Partner with Legal and Compliance to anticipate and respond to global regulatory developments.
  • Develop advanced risk analytics and reporting (dashboards, scenario planning, stress testing).
  • Act as the senior sponsor for incident response, reviews, and lessons learned.
  • Build and lead a high-performing risk team and foster a strong risk-aware culture across the company.

What We’re Looking For
  • 10+ years in risk management, with 3+ years in a leadership role in fintech, crypto, banking, or financial services.
  • Strong knowledge of blockchain, crypto markets, and regulatory expectations.
  • Experience building and running ERM frameworks.
  • Skilled in working with regulators, auditors, and senior stakeholders.
