Paxos is on a mission to enable the movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. Today’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. 

As a regulated blockchain infrastructure company, we use technology to tokenize, custody, trade, and settle assets for enterprise clients like PayPal, Novi, Bank of America, and Interactive Brokers. Paxos is a top-funded blockchain company, with more than $500 million in total funding from leading investors like OakHC/FT, Founders Fund, PayPal Ventures, and Declaration Partners. Together, we empower today’s financial leaders to build a more open, trusted economy. 

The Paxos Compliance team is looking for an Internal Controls and Governance Manager to help design and deliver an enterprise-wide internal control risk management capability.  This role will also be also responsible for scaling Internal Controls and Governance capabilities in line with Paxos growth objectives and regulatory obligations as we strive to build a “best-in-class” Compliance program.  

As an Internal Controls and Governance Manager, you will: 

  • Be the architect responsible for designing and implementing enterprise-wide internal controls that mitigate risks in line with the firm’s regulatory requirements, operational capabilities and growth objectives. 
  • Leverage your SME expertise in enterprise-wide risk management, governance framework design, third-party risk management, issues management, and internal control operations.
  • Support or lead change management and program management initiatives while balancing efficiency needs with effectiveness requirements.  
  • Build partnerships with stakeholders to ensure that program and controls are fit-for-purpose, agile, and attuned to the needs of a rapidly-growing startup committed to compliance.  
  • Identify opportunities to deliver capabilities in a centralized, consistent and measurable manner across all stakeholder groups and Paxos affiliates. 
  • Work constructively with stakeholders to identify gaps and deliver solutions in line with broader strategic objectives.
  • Embed risk management culture across the firm through your daily work and close collaboration with stakeholders  
  • Immerse yourself in blockchain technology, cryptocurrency for enterprises and investors, our regulation-first approach, and more!

Your experience should include:

  • 5+ years of working at a regulated institution and/or a smaller, agile start-up firm (ideal candidate would have done both) 
  • Experience in the first line (Operations) and second line (Compliance/Risk Management) functions 
  • Subject matter expertise in internal controls risk mitigation, governance, enterprise-wide policy management, third-party risk management, systems access controls, and ethics and conduct programs.  
  • Experience with change management and program management 
  • Fluency with leveraging tools or platforms to deliver efficiencies and automation 
  • Proven track record of driving initiatives in a cross-functional setting
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Data-driven mindset to inform decision making and prioritization

You might also have: 

  • Experience working in the crypto industry from a Compliance, Regulatory, and / or Risk Management perspective
  • A clear understanding of the trends within the crypto / blockchain industry and regulatory landscape
