Requirements

A security professional with solid GRC and risk grounding, ideally from a regulated industry — TradFi (bank, broker-dealer, payments) or regulated crypto is a strong plus, though direct crypto experience isn't required.

Happy to work as part of a lean team and within an outsourcing model to central Group affiliates.

Direct exposure to NYDFS, SEC, FinCEN or similar regulators.

Digital assets or crypto industry familiarity.

Compensation & Benefits

L&D programs and Education subsidy for employees' growth and development

Various team building programs and company events

Wellness and meal allowances

Comprehensive healthcare schemes for employees and dependants [

Responsibilities

It's for someone who can move between both worlds: fluent enough in the technical detail to challenge the Engineers or spot a gap in an architecture review, but credible enough in governance to own a regulatory conversation or a board pack.

Leading on audit defence, risk assessments, and technical architecture reviews across the Americas estate — this is a working role, not an oversight one.

Own the Americas security risk and compliance programme: policy, controls, risk register, regulatory engagement, and reporting.

Manage the US GRC lead directly, and work closely with the US SecOps team lead on operational risk and incident response.

Build relationships with Legal, Compliance, Risk and Internal Audit, and represent security in Americas leadership forums.

Prepare for and take an increasing share of regulator and licensing engagement, building toward owning it outright.
