Director of Enterprise Risk Management

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a rapidly growing fintech organisation at a pivotal stage of its growth.

This is not a traditional Enterprise Risk Management role. We’re looking for a highly technical, hands-on risk professional who understands modern AI technologies and can build scalable risk frameworks for an AI-driven business.

You’ll work directly with senior leadership and the Board to reshape the existing ERM framework, introducing smarter processes, stronger governance and AI-enabled controls across the organisation.

This is a highly visible hire with significant executive sponsorship.

What you’ll be doing:
* Redesign and mature the Enterprise Risk Management framework
* Build and improve risk governance, controls and enterprise-wide risk registers
* Lead operational, technology and AI-related risk assessments
* Develop governance around AI agents, automation and emerging technologies
* Assess AI tooling, understand how AI agents are configured, governed and audited
* Partner closely with Engineering, Product, Security, Compliance and executive leadership
* Drive continuous improvement using automation and AI
* Support regulatory readiness and upcoming audits
* Present risk insights and recommendations to senior leadership and the Board

We’re looking for someone with:
* 7-10+ years’ experience in Enterprise Risk Management, Operational Risk, Internal Audit or Technology Risk
* Strong engineering or technical background with the ability to engage credibly with senior technical stakeholders
* Hands-on experience working with AI tools, AI governance or agentic AI workflows
* Understanding of how AI agents are designed, monitored, controlled and audited
* Experience within cryptocurrency, digital assets or fintech (crypto experience strongly preferred)
* Strong understanding of NYDFS and regulated financial environments
* Experience designing and rebuilding enterprise risk frameworks
* COSO framework experience would be highly advantageous
* Comfortable operating as an individual contributor within a lean, high-performing team
* Excellent stakeholder management skills with experience presenting to executive leadership and Board-level stakeholders
