This role offers an excellent opportunity for professional growth and development in the field of risk management.
Work Location:
We value in-person connection and have offices in both Palo Alto, CA and Austin, TX. While we prefer candidates located in these hubs for occasional meetings and team collaboration, we are open to remote team members who can travel periodically if needed.

- Monitor the effectiveness of risk controls and recommend enhancements as needed
- Maintain clear documentation of risk assessments, incident responses, and mitigation efforts

- Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
