Front Office Risk Manager - Crypto Derivatives (F / MD)

Flowdesk's mission is to build a global financial institution for digital assets, one designed from the ground up for market integrity and efficiency.

To achieve this in a rapidly evolving market, we apply a disciplined, first-principles approach to everything we do. This approach is embedded in our core services, from institutional liquidity provision, trading solutions, OTC execution to our comprehensive treasury management offerings. This is how we cut through the noise and build robust and scalable systems across all our business lines.

Therefore, we seek individuals who are driven by this systematic approach. Joining Flowdesk means you will be a key contributor in building and scaling a more transparent and efficient financial markets infrastructure.

We are seeking a skilled and experienced Front Office Risk Manager to join our newly formed Risk Management team, led by a seasoned Chief Risk Officer with experience building some of the most respected risk functions in the digital assets space. This role is central to Flowdesk’s global growth — you will lead the design, implementation, and oversight of our counterparty credit and operational risk management frameworks, contributing directly to the development of a robust and scalable risk infrastructure.

You will work closely with our Trading, Treasury, Operations, Compliance, and Technology teams to monitor exposures, enhance controls, and ensure that Flowdesk’s risk profile remains aligned with our strategic objectives and within the approved appetite. Your work will directly shape Flowdesk’s governance and risk culture, supporting market integrity, operational excellence, and sustainable growth across all business lines.
