About the role

This opportunity is to own and shape the Global ERM and Compliance function at one of the fastest-growing companies in the AI infrastructure space.

This role will sit within the Finance team.

• Build and lead the Enterprise Risk team, including hiring, developing, and managing a lean team of risk professionals as the function scales
• Serve as the primary point of contact for the Board and Audit Committee on enterprise risk matters
• Build and operationalize the Enterprise Risk Assessment (ERA) process, including risk identification, assessment, prioritization, and a centralized risk register
• Design and implement a Key Risk Indicator (KRI) framework to enable proactive risk monitoring and escalation
• Develop the enterprise risk appetite and tolerance framework, translating leadership risk vision into documented, actionable thresholds
• Design and facilitate risk management programs, from executive Risk Council to Risk Champion network

Preferred

• 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
