About The Position

Augustus is building America's first stablecoin-native clearing bank, approved by the OCC. We are seeking an Enterprise Risk Manager to establish and own the end-to-end ERM program. This role involves defining risk identification, assessment, measurement, monitoring, reporting, issue remediation, and escalation processes. You will also own Model Risk Management (MRM) and Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM), including building governance for model coverage, inventory, validation, and vendor due diligence. The goal is to create a unified risk operating model where inventories, assessments, and controls are connected for clear visibility to leadership. This is a unique opportunity to build a critical function from the ground up in a rapidly growing, innovative financial institution.

Requirements

8+ years in risk management.
At least 5 years leading enterprise-level risk, including direct ownership of ERM frameworks, risk taxonomy, assessment methodology, and issues escalation.
Hands-on experience building or redesigning an ERM program from the ground up (policy authorship alone does not count).
Direct ownership of Model Risk Management or Third-Party Risk Management, including inventory management, risk tiering, governance cadence, issue tracking, and integration into enterprise reporting.
Comfortable acting as an independent second line of defense.
Located in Dallas, New York City or ready to relocate.

Nice To Haves

You'd rather be in the room when a risk decision is being made than reviewing it after the fact.
You've been waiting for a role where you can build ERM from 0 to 1, not inherit a brittle framework.
You enjoy turning ambiguity into structure.
You care about how decisions actually get made, and you want risk to be part of that moment.
You want to design programs (ERM, MRM, TPRM) that are operational and used daily, not frameworks that only come out for audits.

Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end ERM program: risk identification, assessment, measurement, monitoring, reporting, issue remediation, and escalation.
Own Model Risk Management (MRM), including standing up governance for model coverage, inventory, risk classification, validation standards, ongoing monitoring, change control, and issue management.
Own Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM), including building and operating the system for intake, due diligence, periodic oversight, issues management, and reporting across vendor and partner relationships.
Own committee reporting, dashboards, and escalation pathways to make risk visible and tied to decision-making.
Develop a single, coherent risk operating model with connected inventories, assessments, and controls.
Embed ERM into planning, product launches, model use, and vendor decisions.
Challenge the first line of defense and make judgment calls, defending them to executives, auditors, and regulators.
