We are looking for a leader who sets the standard, challenges the business and enforces a strong risk culture, while enabling the firm to scale. ### Role description Quantitative Risk Framework: Develop and maintain a quantitative risk framework grounded in modern risk theory (e.g. market, credit, liquidity and systemic risk modelling), leveraging concepts such as tail risk, extreme value theory, dependence structures and stress testing Firm-wide Risk System Architecture: Co-design and implement the Firm-wide risk management system in close collaboration with the COO and CIO, including data architecture, risk aggregation layers, real-time monitoring capabilities and reporting infrastructure across all business lines.

Is plus: TradFi ↔ Crypto Risk Translation: Translate traditional financial risk methodologies into crypto-native environments, adapting models to account for 24/7 markets, fragmented liquidity, funding dynamics, on-chain transparency and new failure modes (e.g. oracle risk, protocol risk). ### Background and Experience Quantitative Risk Expertise: Strong foundation in quantitative risk management, including hands-on experience with market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk modelling, ideally aligned with frameworks such as those presented in Quantitative Risk Management (McNeil, Frey, Embrechts). Modelling & Analytical Skills: Demonstrated ability to design and implement risk models, including tail risk estimation, scenario analysis, stress testing frameworks and dependence modelling across asset classes. System Design & Cross-Functional Leadership: Proven experience in designing or co-designing firm-wide risk systems, working closely with technology (CIO) and operations (COO) to translate risk requirements into scalable infrastructure. TradFi + Crypto Hybrid Experience: Experience operating at the intersection of traditional financial markets and digital assets (CeFi and/or DeFi), with a strong understanding of differences in market structure, risk transmission and infrastructure. Crypto-Specific Risk Understanding: Practical knowledge of crypto-specific risks, including exchange/custodian risk, smart contract risk, protocol risk, funding/basis dynamics and collateral management in both centralized and decentralized environments. ### Competences and personality * Strong drive and proactivity to continuously strengthen the risk management in a fast-growing financial institution * The candidate reports to the COO but this is not a reporting role, but a quantitative risk management system-building role. ### Our recruitment philosophy We look for self-aware candidates who bring both the core skills required for the role and a deep alignment with our performance principles.

The framework would integrate market, credit, liquidity, operational, counterparty, and technology risks while adapting controls for 24/7 trading and crypto-specific failure modes. How would you apply VaR and Expected Shortfall in fragmented crypto markets? I would use them as complementary measures rather than standalone controls, with careful treatment of liquidity, jumps, fat tails, and changing correlations. I would supplement model outputs with scenario analysis, concentration limits, liquidity-adjusted measures, and frequent back-testing against observed market conditions. What risks are most important when integrating CeFi and DeFi exposures into one risk view? The integrated view should capture exchange and custodian exposure, collateral quality, liquidity fragmentation, smart-contract and oracle failures, protocol governance risk, bridge risk, funding dynamics, and correlated counterparty stress. Aggregation must avoid assuming that on-chain transparency eliminates execution or liquidation risk. How would you work with technology leaders to implement real-time risk monitoring? I would translate risk requirements into clear data contracts, calculation specifications, control thresholds, and auditability requirements. Working iteratively with engineering, I would prioritize reliable position, pricing, collateral, and counterparty data before delivering real-time dashboards, alerts, and automated escalation workflows. How do you maintain independence while enabling commercial growth? Risk should be an informed business partner, not merely a control function. I would make risk appetite explicit, provide timely decision-quality analytics, challenge assumptions constructively, and enforce limits consistently so that growth occurs within transparent and resilient boundaries.
