Our client operates shared financial infrastructure designed to enable businesses and institutional partners to launch and manage branded stablecoins and advanced digital asset issuance stacks. The platform provides fully interoperable, liquid on-chain solutions that grant businesses programmable control over payment ecosystems while meeting the stringent operational demands of regulated financial institutions.

To support rapid growth and expanding institutional partnerships, our client is seeking a sharp, execution-focused Head of Security & Risk. This is a foundational, individual contributor (IC) role at a critical inflection point for the organization. In this position, the Head of Security & Risk will build and own the information security and enterprise risk management functions from the ground up.

Reporting directly to the Deputy Chief Operating Officer, the individual will serve as the organization's primary security authority—establishing the enterprise risk framework, driving information security compliance, leading incident response and security operations, and managing institutional due diligence requests. This role requires close collaboration across engineering, product, legal, business development, and operations teams t
