📋 Description

• Lead the design and build of the company’s enterprise control framework across key business and operational processes • Assess existing workflows and identify control gaps, failure points, manual dependencies, and areas of elevated operational risk • Map end-to-end processes and translate them into clear, scalable control points and operating procedures • Design preventive, detective, and monitoring controls that are practical, auditable, and aligned with business realities • Develop and formalize SOPs, control documentation, ownership structures, escalation paths, and remediation processes • Partner across Risk, Product, Operations, Finance, Compliance, Technology, and Data teams to embed controls into daily operations and system workflows • Drive control implementation from concept through rollout, including stakeholder alignment, documentation, training, and follow-up • Establish governance around control execution, issue tracking, remediation, and evidence retention • Bring structure and discipline to how control failures are identified, escalated, root-caused, remediated, and closed • Apply a strong understanding of risk and control principles, including COSO-based thinking, to create a coherent and scalable controls environment • Operate independently with high ownership in an environment that is still building maturity, process discipline, and organizational muscle • Support management readiness for internal audit, external review, board-level discussions, or broader control maturity initiatives as needed

🎯 Requirements

• 6–10+ years of experience in enterprise controls, operational risk, internal controls, internal audit, process excellence, or a related field • Strong experience building or significantly upgrading controls in a high-growth company, fintech, startup, or similarly dynamic environment • Deep expertise in process mapping, SOP development, controls design, remediation tracking, and operating model improvement • Strong understanding of internal control frameworks such as COSO • Demonstrated ability to independently lead complex, cross-functional initiatives with limited structure • Proven ability to influence without direct authority and drive action across business, product, and technical teams • Comfortable being both strategic and hands-on: this is a builder role, not a purely advisory role • Strong judgment in balancing rigor and practicality; able to create effective controls without slowing down the business unnecessarily • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complexity into clear actions and documentation • Experience in regulated environments, lending, fintech, payments, or financial services is strongly preferred • Experience in startup scaling, operational excellence, or transformation work is a strong plus
