Risk Officer

This is a full-time role for a Risk Officer in the ADGM for an FSRA authorised digital asset custodian. The individual will be responsible for safeguarding Zodia against emerging risks by establishing and maintaining a robust risk framework, proactively managing incidents, performing risk assessments and overseeing the controls required to meet regulatory standards.

The ideal candidate is an experienced risk professional with existing knowledge of risk frameworks within digital asset regulations along with experience or a strong interest in digital assets.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Enterprise Risk Management: Design and enhance an enterprise-wide risk management framework and conduct comprehensive risk assessments.

  • Risk Culture and Training: Foster risk awareness across the organization and design risk

  • Coordinate the immediate response to incidents, including engagement of relevant stakeholders (Technology, Operations, Legal, Senior Management) and, where applicable, external parties.
  • Ensure incidents are assessed for regulatory notification obligations and that any required notifications to the regulator are made within prescribed timeframes.
  • Maintain an incident log/register capturing root cause, impact assessment, remediation actions, and lessons learned.
  • Escalate material incidents to senior management and the Board in accordance with the entity's escalation thresholds and reporting protocols.

  • Own and maintain the Risk Appetite Statement (RAS), ensuring it remains current, board-approved, and reflective of the entity's risk-taking capacity and strategic objectives.
  • Define and maintain documented escalation thresholds across all material risk categories, ensuring breaches of risk appetite are identified on a timely basis.
  • Establish and maintain breach reporting protocols, ensuring any breach of risk appetite thresholds is reported to senior management and, where material, to the Board, with appropriate detail on cause, impact, and remediation.
  • Operate with independence from business and revenue-generating functions in the exercise of risk oversight responsibilities, free from undue influence in risk assessment, reporting, or escalation.
  • Be subject to conflict-of-interest safeguards, including a requirement to declare any actual or potential conflicts and to recuse from decisions where independence may be compromised.
