Job Description

At Anchorage Digital, we are building the world’s most advanced digital asset platform for institutions to participate in crypto.

Anchorage Digital is a crypto platform that enables institutions to participate in digital assets through custody, staking, trading, governance, settlement, and the industry's leading security infrastructure. Home to Anchorage Digital Bank N.A., the first federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S., Anchorage Digital also serves institutions through Anchorage Digital Singapore, Porto by Anchorage Digital, and other offerings.

The company is funded by leading institutions including Andreessen Horowitz, GIC, Goldman Sachs, KKR, and Visa, with its Series D valuation over $3 billion. Founded in 2017 in San Francisco, California, Anchorage Digital has offices in New York, New York; Porto, Portugal; Singapore; and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Learn more at anchorage.com, on X @Anchorage, and on LinkedIn.

With the evolving landscape of digital threats and an increasing volume of sophisticated attacks by malicious actors, we have a security policy mandating all new hires complete an in-person onboarding process - no exceptions. Security is our foundation and we prioritize physical identity verification and secure IT setup. While our security and IT logistics require physical presence to protect our infrastructure from sophisticated global threats, this move is equally about our Village culture. We believe that a laptop can be shipped, but our culture cannot.

Anchorage Digital is looking for a Quantitative Financial Risk Manager to join Global Risk Management. In this role, you will own the development of quantitative analysis tools that power our risk management capabilities across credit, market, and liquidity risk.
This is a high-impact, hands-on quantitative role where you will build scalable analytics infrastructure, run real-time analysis when the business needs answers fast, and stress test portfolios under a range of scenarios. You will work at the intersection of financial theory, data science, and engineering. If you thrive in ambiguity, are relently curious, and want to shape how a leading digital asset institution manages risk, this role is for you.
People make this organization, and in this role, it is your mission to cultivate and contribute to a culture of risk management, continuous improvement, and strategic innovation. A healthy outcome is a business that is both agile and resilient, capable of navigating the complexities of the crypto market while achieving its strategic goals.

Technical Skills:

Design, build, and maintain quantitative analysis tools for credit, market, and liquidity risk assessment

Build scalable analytics pipelines in Python to automate reporting, data transformation, and real-time risk monitoring

Execute portfolio margin stress tests and scenario analysis under tight timelines, delivering actionable insights to stakeholders

Complexity and Impact of Work:

Lead end-to-end development of quantitative analysis tools from problem definition through production deployment with minimal oversight

Run ad-hoc real-time analysis when the business needs answers fast and deliver under pressure

Navigate ambiguous risk problems by selecting appropriate quantitative methods and articulating trade-offs to stakeholders

Break down large projects into manageable workstreams, accurately estimate scope, and deliver on commitments

Organizational Knowledge:

Collaborate closely with Trading, Sales, Compliance, Treasury, and Operations to ensure risk analysis and tools are embedded in business decisions

Monitor industry trends, regulatory developments, and emerging best practices in quantitative risk management

Sharing insights across teams to ensure broad understanding and adoption

Communication and Influence:

Translate complex quantitative concepts into clear, actionable insights for technical and non-technical audiences

Mentor junior team members on quantitative methods, analytics tooling, and professional development

Build relationships across teams to drive adoption of risk frameworks and influence how the organization thinks about risk

You may be a fit for this role if you have:

8+ years of experience in quantitative finance, financial risk management, or a related quantitative discipline

Advanced degree (Master's or PhD) in a quantitative field

Proven track record of building quantitative analysis tools for risk management (credit, market, liquidity risk)

You ask questions, dig into the data, and proactively explore new angles; you're not satisfied with surface-level answers

Deep expertise in risk monitoring and reporting, including experience building or operating real-time risk dashboards and producing executive-level risk reports

Experience with portfolio stress testing and scenario analysis in a professional setting

Experience working with large datasets and analytical tools to support risk analysis

Experience with regulators and regulatory exams

You drive initiatives independently, proactively identify and solve problems, and take accountability for results

Although not a requirement, bonus points if:

You have experience with digital assets, crypto, or blockchain-related financial products

You have an understanding of operational risk and how it intersects with credit, market, and liquidity risk

You were emotionally moved by the soundtrack to Hamilton, which chronicles the founding of a new financial system. :)
