Risk Manager (Risk and Operations), United States

As a Risk Manager (Risk and Operations) at Crypto.com, you manage real-time risk exposures, enforce regulatory compliance, and execute critical risk protocols across a multi-asset derivatives clearing ecosystem. You work with futures accounts spanning equities and digital assets, making swift decisions under pressure to protect the firm and its clients.

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, identifying and escalating risk-limit breaches, abnormal trading activities, or position spikes to senior management.
• Evaluate client margin adequacy, enforcing initial and maintenance margin requirements, intraday margin calls, and variation margin coverage.
• Execute 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 judgment to execute trade halts and liquidations during periods of extreme market volatility.
• Oversee and calibrate pre-trade risk controls, firm-specific position limits, exchange-imposed accountability levels, and reportable position thresholds.
• Evaluate risk implications, collateral requirements, and margin methodologies of new products, trading strategies, or client offerings prior to launch, collaborating with trading, operations, technology, and compliance teams.
• Perform client onboarding risk assessments and conduct ongoing market, credit, and liquidity risk monitoring.

What you bring

• A degree or above in a quantitative discipline.
• 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, liquidations, and direct trading experience (personal or professional).
• 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.
