We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up. We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company’s hardest problems.

Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there’s no better place to be.

• Define and monitor KRIs related to Operational Resiliency.

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements): 

• 2+ years in development and management of operational resiliency oversight for large companies, including policies and procedures development and monitoring day-to-day activities.
• 2+ years building out, or managing a team.
• Good understanding of how the various functions of a regulated financial services business operate (e.g. Compliance, Finance, Risk, Treasury, Audit, Outsourcing).
