Risk Manager (Risk and Operations), United States

As a Risk Manager (Risk and Operations) at Crypto.com, you join a fast-growing cryptocurrency platform serving over 150 million customers. You take ownership of real-time risk monitoring, regulatory compliance, and risk enforcement across client futures accounts in equities and digital assets. Working within a multi-asset clearing ecosystem, you exercise swift, decisive judgment to protect the firm and its clients during periods of extreme market volatility.

What you'll do

• Enforce regulatory standards set by the CFTC, NFA, and applicable derivatives clearing organizations (DCOs), compile regulatory risk reporting, support risk attestations, and liaise during regulatory audits
• Monitor real-time and end-of-day risk exposures, client positions, and trading activities across all client futures accounts (equities and digital assets)
• Identify, investigate, document, and escalate risk-limit breaches, abnormal trading activities, or position spikes in a timely manner to senior management
• Evaluate client margin adequacy and enforce initial and maintenance margin requirements, intraday margin calls, and variation margin coverage
• Execute mandated risk escalation protocols, including placing trading restrictions, lowering credit limits, issuing margin calls, and executing partial or full account liquidations when accounts breach critical risk parameters
• Exercise swift, decisive, and authoritative judgment to execute trade halts and liquidations during periods of extreme market volatility
• Track intraday and end-of-day risk metrics across a multi-asset clearing ecosystem as part of daily FCM risk management responsibilities
• Oversee and calibrate pre-trade risk controls, firm-specific position limits, exchange-imposed accountability levels, and reportable position thresholds
• Enforce regulatory and exchange risk standards across client accounts and market-making portfolios
• Evaluate risk implications, collateral requirements, and margin methodologies of new products, trading strategies, or client offerings prior to launch
• Collaborate with trading, operations, technology, and compliance teams to ensure appropriate risk control frameworks and DCO compliance are established
• Perform client onboarding risk assessments and conduct ongoing market, credit, and liquidity risk monitoring

What you bring

• 5 to 10+ years of hands-on experience in risk management, trading, or derivatives operations (experience with an FCM, derivatives clearing firm, prime broker, or broker-dealer is strongly valued)
• A degree or above in a quantitative discipline, with professional qualifications such as CFA and FRM an added advantage
• A strong understanding of equities, commodity products, futures, perpetuals, and other derivatives, including their multi-asset pricing mechanics and funding rates
• Working knowledge of SPAN and portfolio-margining methodologies, and of how intraday and end-of-day margin calls are raised and met; solid understanding of margin concepts, cross-margining efficiencies, and liquidations
• Direct trading experience, personal or professional
• Familiarity with CFTC, NFA, and SEC regulations is strongly valued
• Self-motivation and the internal drive to begin and continue tasks independently without supervision
• A track record of making swift, decisive risk calls under pressure, including trade halts and liquidations during extreme market volatility
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to turn detailed risk metrics into clear summaries for senior leadership, clients, and regulators
