MoonPay is hiring a Chief Control Officer to build and lead a first-line risk and control framework across the organization. The company operates as a financial services and digital assets platform, serving 30M+ customers and 500+ ecosystem partners with offerings in fund, tokenize, trade, and spend. Licensed in the US and regulated across the UK, EU, Canada, and Australia.
In this role, you will own the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of the first-line risk and control framework across MoonPay's activities. Key responsibilities include building risk and control assessments, establishing control standards and documentation, implementing governance structures, managing issues, and monitoring control effectiveness. You will embed effective controls into business processes by translating regulatory requirements and supervisory expectations into practical, sustainable controls with clear ownership.
You will establish a robust control monitoring and testing program to identify weaknesses, assess impact, drive remediation, and provide clear reporting on control environment effectiveness. A particular focus will be on fiduciary, custody, and regulated financial services activities, requiring you to develop comprehensive frameworks supporting these functions with appropriate governance, processes, and monitoring.
You will partner across the three lines of defence, collaborating with business leaders and independent Risk, Compliance, Legal, and Internal Audit teams to establish clear roles, effective challenge, timely remediation, and strong first-line ownership. You will build scalable procedures, governance structures, reporting mechanisms, and operating cadences to maintain a robust control environment as the company evolves.
The ideal candidate brings 15+ years of experience in US banking or regulated financial services, with significant leadership experience in first-line risk, business controls, or operational risk. You should have a proven track record as a builder and operator with hands-on experience designing and implementing control frameworks. Deep knowledge of US banking regulation, supervisory expectations, and experience supporting fiduciary, trust, custody, or transaction services is essential. You are comfortable in high-ambiguity, fast-scaling environments, combining strong technical judgment with the ability to influence senior stakeholders.
