About the role

Senior leadership role responsible for designing, implementing and enforcing a firm-wide risk framework across all activities, spanning traditional finance and digital assets, including cross-venue (CeFi/DeFi) risk, data architecture, analytics and real-time risk aggregation.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain a quantitative risk framework grounded in modern risk theory (market, credit, liquidity and systemic risk modelling).
  • Co-design and implement the firm-wide risk management system with the COO and CIO, including data architecture, risk aggregation layers, real-time monitoring and reporting infrastructure across all business lines.
  • Build an integrated risk view across centralized and decentralized venues, covering exchange risk, counterparty risk, smart contract risk, collateral efficiency and liquidity fragmentation.
  • Define and implement advanced risk metrics (VaR, Expected Shortfall, stress scenarios, liquidity-adjusted risk, concentration risk) and ensure their consistent application across trading, treasury and investment activities.
  • Translate traditional financial risk methodologies into crypto-native environments (24/7 markets, fragmented liquidity, on-chain transparency) and address crypto-specific risks (oracle risk, protocol risk).

Qualifications

  • Strong foundation in quantitative risk management (market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk modelling).
  • Experience with tail risk estimation, scenario analysis, stress testing and dependence modelling across asset classes.
  • Experience designing or co-designing firm-wide risk systems with technology (CIO) and operations (COO).
  • Experience operating at the intersection of traditional financial markets and digital assets (CeFi/DeFi).
  • Hands-on knowledge of crypto-specific risks including exchange/custodian risk, smart contract risk, protocol risk and collateral management.
