Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong SAR China First Digital Full time

First Digital is a digital asset focused trust, custody, financial technology company at the vanguard of the emerging digitalization of assets, where the full value for your worldly assets can finally unite like other digital data. Our best-in-class custodian and near-banking layer enables previously unattainable options for payments, asset management and access to products that can help enhance financial inclusion.

Our infrastructure – including FDUSD, Asia's 1st home grown blockchain-based USD stable-coin – Developed to help economies, institutions and developers gain access to technology breakthroughs and capitalize on the digital evolution of finance, trust, and technology.

About the role:

We are seeking an experienced and proactive Senior Risk Manager to lead and enhance our group-wide risk management framework, with a particular focus on our stablecoin issuance business as well as the broader financial service activities offered by the Group. The primary responsibility of the Senior Risk Manager is to consolidate and formalise our existing risk management practices into a consistent, group-wide framework, ensuring clear oversight, alignment with regulatory expectations, and strong governance across the jurisdictions in which we operate.

The Senior Risk Manager will work closely with departmental teams, ensuring they retain responsibility for the execution of risk management processes and internal controls, while ensuring a central risk function provides oversight, challenge, coordination, and reporting. The candidate will collaborate with senior management, governance committees, and operational teams to support the integration of risk considerations in business decision making and everyday operations.

What you'll do:

  • Update and maintain the risk management framework, covering all relevant risk categories including operational, compliance, financial, counterparty, liquidity, and technology risks.
  • Act as the central coordination point for risk management, working closely with operations teams across the Group to ensure a coordinated approach to risk identification, mitigation and reporting.
  • Support risk assessments for new products, jurisdictions, partnerships, and business lines, ensuring appropriate controls are in place before launch.
  • Support the implementation and maintenance of the risk governance structure, including coordinating risk committees and reporting to operational leaders and the Board, where appropriate.
  • Coordinate regular risk assessments and stress testing exercises, including scenario analysis relevant to stablecoin issuance, financial services, and digital asset operations.
  • Assist in tracking and managing risk incidents, ensuring escalation processes are followed and lessons learned documented.
  • Monitor the external risk environment, including evolving regulatory expectations, emerging risks in digital assets and stablecoin issuance, and changes in counterparties' or service providers' risk profiles.
  • Foster a risk-aware culture across the group by providing training, guidance, and ongoing support to functional teams, helping them proactively identify and manage risks within their own areas.

What we're looking for:

  • 5-10 years' experience in risk management roles within financial services, with preference for candidates with experience in:
    • Digital assets, or regulated stablecoin issuance.
    • Risk oversight in regulated environments (payments institutions, digital asset firms, or licensed financial institutions).
  • Understanding of prudential risk management, including:
    • Capital adequacy and liquidity risk management frameworks.
    • Governance expectations (committee structures, risk oversight at Board level).
    • Operational resilience requirements.
  • Experience maintaining risk frameworks that scale with business growth, in multiple jurisdictions.
  • Previous experience working with regulators is preferable, responding to regulatory requests, and ensuring risk processes align with ongoing licensing conditions.
  • Excellent communication skills, able to engage effectively with senior management, external advisors and with a global team.
  • Fluent in English, with proficiency in additional languages considered a plus.
  • Strong analytical mindset with the ability to translate complex risks into clear business actions.
  • High attention to detail, with a proactive and solutions-oriented approach. Essential to be a self-starter.

Why Join Us?

  • Competitive Compensation – We offer a remuneration package that reflects your expertise and contributions.
  • Transportation Support – A monthly allowance to assist with your commute.
  • Comprehensive Benefits – Life, medical, and dental coverage for your well-being.
  • Professional Development – A US$4,000 education allowance to support your continuous learning.
  • Career Growth – Strong prospects for advancement within a dynamic organization.
