This is a hands-on, high-impact role that requires experience in risk management, specifically in the fintech and payments industry.

  • Facilitate the development of new key relationships with banks and other essential vendors in both current and future operational jurisdictions.
  • Conduct, document, and routinely evaluate risk assessments across the company to ensure continuous alignment with business objectives.
  • Develop and implement risk management policies, and create analytics to align company metrics with risk policies, including the risk appetite statement.
  • Lead the execution of remediation plans to address critical issues, whether identified internally or externally.
  • Work closely with compliance and legal partners to ensure adherence to regulatory requirements across all jurisdictions in which we operate.


What You Need to Be Successful:

Background:

  • College Degree in Business, Information Technology, Information Security, Economics, Finance, or a related field.
  • A minimum of 3 years of professional experience in risk management & compliance.

  • Confidence when it comes to improving existing processes.
  • Fluent in English with the ability to work well with colleagues across multiple time zones.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills and the ability to provide viable solutions in a time-sensitive environment.
