Full job description
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.
- Anchorage Digital is hiring a Market Risk Manager to own the market risk framework and day-to-day oversight for our Global Markets business, including our swap dealer. In this role, you will measure, limit and report the risk from derivatives, financing, spot trading with delayed settlement, and collateral rehypothecation. You will also build tools and systems that measure risk.
- This is a second-line role, independent of trading and sales, and a hands-on one. Half the job is risk judgment: challenging a desk decision, sizing a stress scenario, explaining exposure to management. The other half is engineering: writing production code, owning risk data, and replacing spreadsheets with automated controls. You'll work with Trading, Treasury, Accounting, Operations and Engineering, and help represent the risk function to regulators and auditors.
- 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.
