As the Head of Risk UK (Crypto), you will build and lead the independent second line risk function for Capital Vault UK (CVUK), the FCA registered crypto-asset business of Capital Vault Group. This is a dual-hat role.

Alongside the CVUK mandate, you will act as deputy to the Group Head of Risk and take primary ownership of building the Group's financial and prudential risk framework  which will be applied across the Group's regulated entities as they are onboarded.

You will report to the Group Head of Risk, set the local risk direction, maintain the risk appetite within Group boundaries, and ensure the business operates within approved limits while it scales.

This position carries regulatory responsibilities and is expected to be subject to FCA fit and proper assessment, with senior management accountability expected to formalise as the UK cryptoasset regime transitions into the FSMA authorisation framework. You will be accountable for risk governance, effective oversight of prudential and market risks, and ensuring growth is matched by strong controls, clear escalation, and Board level visibility.
