The ideal candidate will have a solid foundation in enterprise and product risk management, with exposure to crypto risk, market/trading risks, and emerging technology risk. You will collaborate cross-functionally across Compliance, Legal, Product, Engineering, Finance, and Security to embed a consistent and scalable approach to risk-informed product design and delivery. This role reports to OKX' Group Head of Product Risk.

- Partner with cross-functional teams (Product, Engineering, Compliance, Legal, Finance, Security) to review new product initiatives and minor/major changes to existing products, ensuring comprehensive risk identification and mitigation planning.
- Drive the implementation of a scalable Product Governance Framework, embedding risk management principles into key decision-making and development processes across business units.
- Maintain robust risk documentation within the enterprise GRC system (Workiva), including risk registers, control assessments, action plans, and ownership tracking.
- Support the preparation of regular and ad-hoc standardized and visually compelling product risk reports from risk committees, boards and other relevant stakeholders.
- Monitor external events (e.g., regulatory changes, cyber threats, market shifts) and evaluate their implications on current and upcoming product offerings.
- Lead or contribute to strategic risk initiatives and cross-functional projects aimed at enhancing risk culture, resilience, and accountability across the product portfolio.
- Promote awareness and adoption of risk management practices across all levels of the organization through training, stakeholder engagement, and process improvement initiatives.
What We Look For In You
- 5+ years of experience in product risk management, with at least 2 years focused on cryptocurrency or digital asset risk.
- Proven experience in conducting product risk assessments, including risk identification, analysis, and mitigation strategies.
- Strong understanding of digital platforms, product development cycles, and associated risks (e.g., technology, market, operational, and compliance risks).
- Proven experience with risk frameworks, stress testing, and scenario analysis in the context of digital assets.
- Understanding of regulatory environments and compliance requirements related to crypto assets.
- Exceptional communication, collaboration, and influence skills with the ability to drive alignment across diverse stakeholders.
Nice to Haves
