  • Lead contingency planning for stablecoin de-peg, settlement disruptions, and channel failures, including stress testing and scenario analysis;
  • Provide periodic risk reports and recommendations to senior management and the Board, offering data-driven insights for strategic decisions;
  • Build and scale a risk management team across treasury risk, transaction monitoring, fraud prevention, and operational risk as the company grows.
