Member of Global Risk Management, Financial Risk

At Anchorage Digital, we are building the world’s most advanced digital asset platform for institutions to participate in crypto.   Anchorage Digital is a crypto platform that enables institutions to participate in digital assets through custody, staking, trading, governance, settlement, and the industry's leading security infrastructure. Home to Anchorage Digital Bank N.A., the first federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S., Anchorage Digital also serves institutions through Anchorage Digital Singapore, Porto by Anchorage Digital, and other offerings.   The company is funded by leading institutions including Andreessen Horowitz, GIC, Goldman Sachs, KKR, and Visa, with its Series D valuation over $3 billion. Founded in 2017 in San Francisco, California, Anchorage Digital has offices in New York, New York; Porto, Portugal; Singapore; and Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

With the evolving landscape of digital threats and an increasing volume of sophisticated attacks by malicious actors, we have a security policy mandating all new hires complete an in-person onboarding process - no exceptions. Security is our foundation and we prioritize physical identity verification and secure IT setup. While our security and IT logistics require physical presence to protect our infrastructure from sophisticated global threats, this move is equally about our Village culture. We believe that a laptop can be shipped, but our culture cannot.

As a Member of Global Risk Management, Financial Risk, you will be at the frontline of protecting our firm and clients from market, credit, liquidity, and operational risks in one of the most dynamic financial ecosystems in the world.   Based in Singapore, you will serve as a critical member of our Financial Risk team, responsible for real-time risk monitoring and reporting. You'll be the first line of defense during market dislocations, from crypto exchange failures to black swan events, making time-sensitive decisions that protect the firm's assets and reputation. This role demands independence, vigilance, and the judgment to know when to act and when to escalate.   People make this organization, and in this role, it is your mission to cultivate and contribute to a culture of risk management, continuous improvement, and strategic innovation. A healthy outcome is a business that is both agile and resilient, capable of navigating the complexities of the crypto market while achieving its strategic goals.

Technical Skills:

Drive the development and refinement of risk monitoring frameworks, dashboards, and reporting infrastructure for financial risk.

Build and maintain quantitative models and analytics to measure market risk, counterparty risk, and liquidity risk across digital asset portfolios.

Apply expertise in crypto market microstructure to identify emerging risk signals before they materialize into losses.

Complexity and Impact of Work:

Lead the real-time monitoring of risk exposures across trading and financing with minimal oversight.

Manage crisis response protocols during systemic risk events, making rapid decisions on risk mitigating actions within established risk appetite.

Break down complex risk scenarios into actionable intelligence for trading, sales, and senior leadership.

Capable of providing judgement with limited, imperfect information.

Organizational Knowledge:

Collaborate closely with Trading, Sales, Compliance, and Operations to ensure risk considerations are embedded in business decisions.

Deliver daily risk updates to the Financial Risk team and key stakeholders, ensuring transparency and alignment.

Contribute to the evolution of Anchorage's risk management culture by sharing insights across teams to ensure broad understanding and adoption

Communication and Influence:

Listen actively to trading and sales requests, applying judgment to balance business needs with risk appetite.

Contribute clear, actionable risk assessments during high-pressure situations, ensuring stakeholders understand implications and recommended actions.

Escalate appropriately when situations exceed established thresholds.

You may be a fit for this role if you have:

5+ years of experience in financial risk management, market risk, or a related quantitative risk role, ideally with exposure to digital assets or crypto markets.

Deep expertise in risk monitoring and reporting, including experience building or operating real-time risk dashboards and producing executive-level risk reports.

Experience navigating market dislocations or crisis events, with demonstrated ability to take decisive risk mitigating actions under pressure.

Strong understanding of crypto market dynamics, including exchange risk, counterparty risk, liquidity risk, and the unique characteristics of digital asset markets.

Independent and self-directed work style, with the ability to operate autonomously across time zones while maintaining communication.

Proficiency in risk modeling tools and data analysis (Python, SQL, or similar).

Although not a requirement, bonus points if:

You have direct experience at a crypto exchange or crypto-native financial institution.

You've operated through a major crypto crisis event (e.g., exchange failure, stablecoin depeg, market contagion) and can speak to lessons learned.

You were emotionally moved by the soundtrack to Hamilton, which chronicles the founding of a new financial system. :)
