Define and operationalise the company’s risk appetite framework, ensuring alignment with global regulatory expectations and best practices around safety and soundness.

Lead risk‑related engagement with regulators and external stakeholders across jurisdictions, ensuring consistent and effective communication of MoonPay’s risk posture.

Build, scale, and lead a high‑performing global risk team, including hiring, mentoring, and setting operating cadence.

About You
