About the Role
Ondo is looking to take its Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework, a structured Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) program, and a centralized policy library to the next level of maturity. As our product suite expands and the number of third-party relationships grows — spanning technology vendors, custodians, and distribution partners — we need a foundational team member who knows how to scale these workstreams in a meaningful regulatory, operational, and institutional way.
We are looking for a Risk & Governance Manager to build upon the foundational risk and policy infrastructure. This role sits at the intersection of risk, policy, and audit readiness — three deeply interdependent areas are targeting dedicated ownership.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement an Enterprise Risk Management framework, including a risk register, risk appetite statement, and reporting cadence for senior leadership and the board.
- Build and operate a Third Party Risk Management program covering all critical vendors — including vendor tiering, due diligence workflows, and ongoing monitoring against defined risk thresholds.
- Own and maintain the company's complete policy framework — including creation, review, approval, version control, and communication of all compliance and risk policies.
- Lead regulatory examination and institutional audit readiness, including documentation management, mock exam preparation, and response coordination.
- Provide governance support to senior leadership and the board, including risk reporting, escalation frameworks, and committee materials.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in risk management, compliance, or governance within financial services or fintech
- Demonstrated experience building or managing an ERM framework, including risk registers and risk appetite statements
- Experience designing and operating Third-Party Risk Management programs, including vendor due diligence and ongoing monitoring
- Track record of owning and maintaining enterprise-wide policy libraries in a regulated environment
- Strong familiarity with regulatory examination processes and audit readiness requirements
- Exceptional written communication and documentation skills; able to produce board-ready materials
Nice to Haves
- Experience in digital assets, blockchain, or crypto-native financial services
- Familiarity with governance frameworks such as COSO ERM, ISO 31000, or SOC 2
- Background supporting institutional investors or regulated fund structures

Ondo Finance
View Company ProfileOndo Finance (operating under ondo.finance, legally Ondo Finance, Inc.) is the premier, enterprise-grade institutional real-world asset (RWA) tokenization pioneer, decentralized investment banking platform, and cross-chain liquidity orchestration powerhouse engineered to act as the definitive, high-velocity bridge transforming traditional financial instruments into highly composable, on-chain digital assets for global investors. Founded in 2021 by former Goldman Sachs digital asset technologists Nathan Allman and Pinku Surana, the enterprise completely eliminates the severe systemic friction of traditional finance and legacy capital markets—characterized by fragmented international settlement systems, geographic market silos, and restricted 9-to-5 banking operating rails—by deploying institutional-grade compliance wrappers around public blockchain smart contracts. Moving far beyond speculative or purely synthetic DeFi primitives, Ondo Finance natively unifies multi-chain tokenized US Treasuries (such as OUSG), yield-bearing alternative stablecoin notes (USDY), and 24/7 cross-border tokenized public equities or ETFs via its advanced Ondo Global Markets framework into a single high-availability capital ecosystem. Commanding a dominant share of the global on-chain treasury market with over $3 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL) across its product suite, the platform is backed by deep strategic alliances with institutional infrastructure heavyweights, utilizing BlackRock's tokenized BUIDL fund for instantaneous liquidity backstops, alongside multi-bank ledger tests coordinated with J.P. Morgan's Kinexys, Mastercard, and Ripple. The high-growth institutional platform has secured more than $24 million in tier-one venture funding led by Founders Fund, Tiger Global Management, and Pantera Capital, alongside foundational acquisitions like Oasis Pro and Strangelove to integrate SEC-aligned broker-dealer, Alternative Trading System (ATS), and native Cosmos interoperability architectures. Under the hood, its technology framework utilizes advanced cross-chain asset bridges, KYC/AML embedded multi-signature smart contracts, daily cryptographic proof-of-reserves reporting, and strict compliance structures aligned with the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940 to guarantee absolute transactional correctness and deterministic processing state. Following a planned executive transition under President and CEO Ian De Bode, the firm continues its rapid global footprint expansion via dual hubs in New York and Hong Kong. What sets Ondo Finance apart is its uncompromising dedication to replacing volatile, low-yield native crypto speculation with regulatory-compliant, low-risk sovereign and corporate yield instruments; by bridging the gap between multi-trillion-dollar relational Wall Street book-entry systems and decentralized programmable liquidity pools, the corporation remains the definitive institutional cornerstone of modern on-chain asset management and worldwide real-world asset transformation.
