Instead, we are seeking a candidate who will challenge the status quo and utilize their highly strategic, operational, and product-oriented mindset to weave technology and automation into our risk operations.

This role will report directly to our Head of Technology Risk, and will partner closely with leaders across our engineering, business, legal, compliance, operations, and go-to-market teams to implement our vision.
