Job Description:
About ColumnFor companies building financial technology and
transforming the financial services space, the biggest bottleneck
to their growth and innovation is often the underlying banks and
infrastructure stack they rely on. We have spent our careers
founding and scaling companies like Plaid, Square, SoFi, Blend, and
Affirm, and have seen this problem firsthand - builders and
developers needing to partner with traditional banks, and creating
API and abstraction layers over the patchwork that is the bank, its
core, and many other vendors. All of this results in a complex (and
often expensive) banking supply chain involving a user, fintech,
BaaS middleware provider, bank, core and the Federal Reserve.At
Column, we set out to simplify and fix this. We are a bank and a
software company built from the ground up, offering builders and
developers technology-forward banking solutions that cut out the
hundreds of vendors, middleware providers, and abstraction layers.
This means a safer, more transparent, and less costly banking
supply chain. Come build with us!The opportunityAs the Head of Risk
Operations, you will play a pivotal role in building Column's
operational and strategic muscle. Acquiring, onboarding and
monitoring our customers is the most critical function at Column -
we're designing and implementing a new standard. We are committed
to going beyond industry and regulatory expectations in our
approach to managing the risk associated with our customer and
partner relationships - we are also committed to thinking
differently, and innovating how we perform critical risk and
compliance activities so that they hum with precision and operate
like a Tesla-level factory.As a result, we are not necessarily
looking for someone who grew up in banking for this position.
Instead, we are looking for someone who will challenge the status
quo, utilizing their highly strategic, operational, and
product-oriented mindset to weave technology and automation into
our Risk Operations. This individual will oversee a team of
operational and risk professionals who execute customer and partner
due diligence, as well as ongoing monitoring and compliance testing
of their programs with Column. The Head of Risk Operations is
responsible for creating a system to ensure that this team's
execution is flawless, and can effectively scale as we hit the
accelerator on customer growth. This individual will help influence
our growth strategy more broadly as a member of the Column
leadership team, and will partner closely with leaders across our
engineering, business, and go-to-market teams to implement our
vision.This position will report to our CEO and Chief Risk Officer.
This role will be based in person in our Presidio-based office in
San Francisco (3-4 days/week), and we will support relocation for
the right candidate.What you'll do
