THE WORK:
We believe solving complex financial challenges demands more than cutting-edge technology — it requires bold thinkers who can act decisively, move fast, and guide clients through transformation with confidence and creativity.
As a Risk Implementation Consultant, you won't just configure software. You will partner with treasury, accounting, and finance teams to understand their most pressing operational challenges, architect scalable solutions, and lead successful implementations across:
Debt & Investments
Derivatives — FX (Forwards, Swaps, Options) & Interest Rate (IRS, Caps, Floors, Collars)
Hedge Accounting (ASC 815 / IFRS 9)
Accounting Workflows & Financial Reporting
Cash Flow & Balance Sheet Hedging
The ideal candidate is a powerhouse: creative, energetic, relentlessly solutions-focused, and capable of managing multiple high-stakes priorities without losing momentum.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
Lead Discovery & Strategic Consulting
Drive high-impact discovery workshops with energy and precision. Uncover client pain points, map business processes, surface accounting requirements, and design the path forward — all while building the trusted relationships that make transformations stick.
Architect Bold Solutions
Design and document future-state solution architectures that align Ripple Treasury's capabilities with each client's unique business objectives and regulatory requirements. Bring creative problem-solving and technical depth to every engagement — no two clients are the same, and you'll thrive on that challenge.
