Member of Global Risk Management, Financial Risk
Anchorage Digital
Accounting & Finance
Singapore
With the evolving landscape of digital threats and an increasing volume of sophisticated attacks by malicious actors, we have a security policy mandating all new hires complete an in-person onboarding process - no exceptions. Security is our foundation and we prioritize physical identity verification and secure IT setup. While our security and IT logistics require physical presence to protect our infrastructure from sophisticated global threats, this move is equally about our Village culture. We believe that a laptop can be shipped, but our culture cannot.
Technical Skills:
- Drive the development and refinement of risk monitoring frameworks, dashboards, and reporting infrastructure for financial risk.
- Build and maintain quantitative models and analytics to measure market risk, counterparty risk, and liquidity risk across digital asset portfolios.
- Apply expertise in crypto market microstructure to identify emerging risk signals before they materialize into losses.
Complexity and Impact of Work:
- Lead the real-time monitoring of risk exposures across trading and financing with minimal oversight.
- Manage crisis response protocols during systemic risk events, making rapid decisions on risk mitigating actions within established risk appetite.
- Break down complex risk scenarios into actionable intelligence for trading, sales, and senior leadership.
- Capable of providing judgement with limited, imperfect information.
Organizational Knowledge:
- Collaborate closely with Trading, Sales, Compliance, and Operations to ensure risk considerations are embedded in business decisions.
- Deliver daily risk updates to the Financial Risk team and key stakeholders, ensuring transparency and alignment.
- Contribute to the evolution of Anchorage's risk management culture by sharing insights across teams to ensure broad understanding and adoption
Communication and Influence:
- Listen actively to trading and sales requests, applying judgment to balance business needs with risk appetite.
- Contribute clear, actionable risk assessments during high-pressure situations, ensuring stakeholders understand implications and recommended actions.
- Escalate appropriately when situations exceed established thresholds.
You may be a fit for this role if you have:
- 5+ years of experience in financial risk management, market risk, or a related quantitative risk role, ideally with exposure to digital assets or crypto markets.
- Deep expertise in risk monitoring and reporting, including experience building or operating real-time risk dashboards and producing executive-level risk reports.
- Experience navigating market dislocations or crisis events, with demonstrated ability to take decisive risk mitigating actions under pressure.
- Strong understanding of crypto market dynamics, including exchange risk, counterparty risk, liquidity risk, and the unique characteristics of digital asset markets.
- Independent and self-directed work style, with the ability to operate autonomously across time zones while maintaining communication.
- Proficiency in risk modeling tools and data analysis (Python, SQL, or similar).
Although not a requirement, bonus points if:
- You have direct experience at a crypto exchange or crypto-native financial institution.
- You've operated through a major crypto crisis event (e.g., exchange failure, stablecoin depeg, market contagion) and can speak to lessons learned.
- You were emotionally moved by the soundtrack to Hamilton, which chronicles the founding of a new financial system. :)
