Requirements

15+ years of experience in enterprise risk management or a closely related function
Prior experience in a VP or equivalent enterprise risk leadership role
Demonstrated track record of building ERM programs from inception, not just inheriting mature programs
Experience at high-growth technology or cloud infrastructure companies strongly preferred, especially companies that have: large balance sheet exposures including inventory / fixed assets and debt, notable international presence, and complex arrangements with customer / vendors / joint venture partners
Strong executive presence with demonstrated experience presenting to boards, audit committees, and C-suite leadership
Comfortable operating with ambiguity and building process in fast-moving environments
You love to build enterprise risk and compliance programs from the ground up, creating the structure, governance, and operating rhythms that help a fast-growing company scale responsibly.
You’re curious about how technology, operational complexity, and global growth create new risks—and how data, technology, and cross-functional partnership can improve risk visibility and decision-making.
You’re an expert at translating executive and Board priorities into practical risk appetite, meaningful KRIs, clear accountability, and action-oriented reporting.
You thrive in ambiguity and know how to bring clarity, influence, and momentum across Finance, Security, Legal, IT, and Operations.
