THE WORK:
At Ripple, we are at the forefront of building the Internet of Value, creating a new global standard for how value moves seamlessly today. We are seeking a Manager, Financial Risk, to act as a critical partner to our risk and commercial teams. This isn't a traditional, back-office risk role; you’ll be deeply involved in the business, shaping the strategies that allow us to scale our products and enter new markets prudently. You'll be one of the experts in the room, translating complex financial risks into clear, actionable business insights and strategies that directly enable and protect Ripple's growth!
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
- Be a Strategic Partner to the Business: You won't just assess risk; you'll co-pilot business growth across RLUSD, Payments, Lending, and Trading. You’ll work hand-in-hand with commercial leaders to structure innovative deals and develop new products, providing the expert risk guidance that makes ambitious goals achievable.
- Build the Future of Risk Management: Design and implement sophisticated risk models, loss forecasting methodologies, reporting tools, and stress testing frameworks that are fit-for-purpose in the digital asset space. You will be instrumental in building the robust governance structures and reporting systems that keep senior leadership informed and drive strategic alignment.
- Communicate, Educate, and Influence: Become a go-to expert for financial risk across the organization. A key part of your role will be to distill highly technical topics into concise, easy-to-understand insights for a variety of partners, from business development to the C-suite. Your ability to communicate effectively will shape risk culture and drive informed decision-making across Ripple.
- Empower Ripple’s sustainable growth by identifying strategic opportunities and navigating risks through our forward-thinking Enterprise Risk Management program.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING:
We're looking for a leader who is passionate about building at the intersection of traditional finance and the new world of crypto. You are commercially-minded, agile, and thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
- A proven track record (5+ years) of excellence in risk, financial markets, or trading, with a deep understanding of complex financial products.
- A genuine passion for learning and a deep curiosity about the crypto ecosystem (direct crypto experience is a major plus).
- Fluency in leveraging Artificial Intelligence to boost productivity and accelerate progress.
- Strong operational skills and the ability to multitask in a dynamic, fast paced environment.
- A commercial and strategic mindset. You have a history of working directly with business teams to find creative, risk-aware solutions to complex challenges.
- Exceptional communication skills. You are a master at simplifying complexity and can confidently and concisely articulate risk-related concepts to any audience, from engineers to executives.
- A "team-first" attitude, with a demonstrated ability to collaborate and build strong relationships with cross-functional partners.
- The agility to adapt to shifting priorities, manage multiple high-stakes projects, and perform exceptionally under pressure.
- Success in this role will pave the way for future leadership opportunities, either advancing within the global risk organization or moving into a leadership role within one of the business lines you partner with.
