About Copper

Since its founding in 2018, Copper has been building the standard for institutional digital asset infrastructure with a focus on custody, collateral management, and prime services.

Led by Global CEO Amar Kuchinad, the firm offers a comprehensive suite of custody, trading, and settlement solutions that reduce counterparty risk and bring greater capital and operational efficiency to digital asset markets. Copper’s multi-award winning custody system is unique in that it can connect to centralized exchanges, DeFi applications, and staking pools without the assets leaving the custody.

Built on this state‑of‑the‑art custody, ClearLoop is the first market solution that overcomes the growing challenge of counterparty risk with exchanges, enabling customers to trade and settle directly from the safety of their MPC‑secured wallets.

Role Purpose

The Technology Risk Manager is responsible for embedding and overseeing the ICT risk management framework. This role ensures that technology‑related risks—cyber, information security, and third‑party risks—are managed in line with regulatory requirements and Copper’s risk appetite, supporting the resilience, security, and operational integrity of the organisation’s technology environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, implement, and maintain the technology risk management framework to identify, assess, and manage technology‑related risks across the organisation.
• Oversee and report on material technology risks, ensuring effective controls and alignment with regulatory requirements and the company’s risk appetite.
• Conduct risk assessments for cybersecurity, information security, and third‑party technology providers, collaborating with IT and business teams to address vulnerabilities.
• Support the development and execution of technology resilience programmes, including disaster recovery and business continuity planning.
• Advise and influence stakeholders on technology risk matters, promoting a culture of risk awareness and supporting safe innovation and operational integrity.

Your Experience, Skills and Knowledge

• Proven experience in technology risk management, governance, cybersecurity, and business continuity within a regulated financial services or fintech environment.
• Strong understanding of technology and information security processes, controls, systems, and emerging technologies.
• Working knowledge of relevant regulatory frameworks (e.g., FCA, PRA, DORA, GDPR) and industry standards (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST).
• Ability to communicate and influence effectively across technical and non‑technical stakeholders, articulating complex risk issues clearly.
• Professional certifications or experience in technology risk, information security, or business continuity (e.g., CISM, CRISC, CISSP, CBCP).
• Experience working with cloud service providers, infrastructure, and technology architecture.
• Hands‑on involvement in security and resiliency testing of systems and applications.
• Knowledge of the software development lifecycle and associated technology risks.
• Experience in wider operational risk management, including building out risk framework elements.
• Ability to integrate technology risk considerations into business processes and strategic initiatives.
