Chief Risk Officer (CRO)

The Company is seeking a Chief Risk Officer to build its risk function from the ground up for a regulated financial institution serving digital asset clients. Responsibilities include translating existing policies into detailed processes and procedures, establishing financial crime and compliance controls, and addressing digital asset risks such as transaction and wallet verification and irreversible on-chain activity. The CRO will work closely with technology teams on the integration and customization of core systems, serve as a primary contact for regulators, and help shape the institution’s risk posture as part of its founding leadership team. Candidates should bring a strong risk management background and experience serving as a primary point of contact for regulators. Financial crime and compliance expertise is valuable, while digital asset risk experience or a strong interest in the field is an advantage. The role calls for someone comfortable moving between strategic leadership and detailed, hands-on execution in a startup environment.
