  • Collaborate with the Head of Legal & Compliance/MLRO to align risk controls with AML/KYC/KYB, sanctions, and regulatory expectations;
  • Partner with Product and Technology teams to embed risk controls into product design, enabling automation and scalability of monitoring systems;
  • 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.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree or above in Finance, Economics, Risk Management, Accounting, or related disciplines;
  • 8+ years of risk management experience in payments, fintech, or digital assets, with practical exposure to cross-border treasury operations;
  • Strong knowledge of cross-border payment flows, liquidity management, stablecoin and virtual asset risks;
  • Hands-on expertise in fund operations, position management, reconciliation, clearing, and settlement;
  • Familiarity with AML/KYC/KYB, fraud prevention, and transaction monitoring frameworks;
  • Fluent in English and Chinese, with strong cross-cultural communication and leadership skills

Preferred Qualifications

  • Previous leadership experience in cross-border payments, stablecoin wallets, or VASPs;
  • Proven track record of building risk systems, rule engines, or data-driven fraud and liquidity monitoring frameworks;
  • Access to emerging market payment channels or banking networks, with expertise in liquidity and settlement practices;
