Our only careers site ispaxos.com/careers, and we only recruit via @paxos.comemail. Details below.\n___\nAbout Paxos\nToday’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky - supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it.\nWe’re on a mission to open the world’s financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we’ve built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world's leading financial institutions, like PayPal, Venmo, Mastercard, Interactive Brokers and Charles Schwab.\nAbout the team\nThe Operational Risk team is part of Paxos Risk Management. We set and run the framework Paxos uses to identify, assess and monitor operational risk across a business supervised by financial regulators in the US and abroad. We work with product, engineering, compliance and operations teams on new products, vendors and blockchain integrations, and we support the firm’s audits and regulatory exams.\nAbout the role\nAs an Operational Risk, Senior Associate, you’ll own core parts of our risk and control framework: running Risk and Control Self-Assessments, keeping the risk register current and helping teams close control gaps.

Identify control gaps, document them with owners and remediation dates, and track them to closure\n\nAssess operational risk in new products, vendors, blockchains and regulatory changes before they reach production\n\nPrepare evidence for internal audits, external audits and regulatory exams, and respond to examiner requests\n\nDesign and run independent monitoring and testing of key controls\n\nReport risk themes and key risk indicators to senior leadership and risk committees\n\nAbout you\n5-7 years in operational risk at a financial services institution, a financially regulated company, or a consultancy or regulator that built or enforced operational risk requirements\n\nHands-on experience running Risk and Control Self-Assessments, maintaining a risk register and rating risks with a defined severity and likelihood methodology\n\nWorking knowledge of OCC expectations, Basel operational risk principles, SOC 2 and third-party risk guidance\n\nExperience preparing audit and regulatory exam evidence and answering examiner questions directly\n\nClear, concise writing and a track record of getting business and engineering owners to agree on ratings and remediation plans\n\nComfort using AI tools to speed up research, drafting and analysis\n\nBonus: experience building independent monitoring and testing programs, building process, risk and control inventories, or working in blockchain or crypto\n\nImportant Notice for Paxos Applicants\n Fraudulent accounts sometimes pose as Paxos recruiters on LinkedIn and other platforms, and fake websites sometimes impersonate our careers site.
