  • Ensure timely identification and mitigation of emerging risks.
  • Prepare and present comprehensive risk reports to the Board of Directors, Risk Committee, and external stakeholders as required.
  • Work closely with the Compliance, Legal, and Finance teams to ensure robust alignment between risk management and regulatory compliance objectives.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to promote a culture of proactive risk awareness and risk-informed decision-making.
  • Provide regular training and support in the area of risk management to the organisation.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) on all risk management matters, ensuring effective communication and transparency.
  • Lead regulatory reviews and audits relating to the company's risk management practices.

  • In-depth understanding of Irish and EU regulatory frameworks, including requirements set by the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI).
  • Familiarity with virtual asset service provider (VASP) regulations and risk considerations.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills with experience engaging with Boards and senior stakeholders.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities with attention to detail.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment and manage competing priorities.
  • High integrity, professionalism, and discretion in handling sensitive information.
  • Genuine enthusiasm for fintech and crypto, with a forward-looking mindset.
  • Willingness to travel internationally as needed.
