Senior Manager, Financial Risk
You will act as a critical partner to Ripple's commercial leadership, sitting at the commercial heart of the business rather than in a traditional back-office risk role. You'll co-pilot business growth across RLUSD, Payments, Lending, and Trading, working hand-in-hand with commercial leaders to structure innovative deals and develop new products while safeguarding the firm within its risk appetite. You will design and implement sophisticated risk models, loss forecasting methodologies, reporting tools, and stress testing frameworks fit for the digital asset space, and help build the governance structures and reporting systems that keep senior leadership informed. You'll become the go-to expert for financial risk across the organization, distilling technical topics into clear insights for partners ranging from business development to the C-suite. You will also mitigate counterparty risk by developing a comprehensive view of counterparty health, setting credit limits, and monitoring exposures.
