Fidelity is not providing immigration sponsorship for this position.

The Manager, Asset Management Risk (Crypto) is responsible for delivering operational risk oversight for Fidelity Digital Asset Management and its related businesses. In this role, you will work across business, technology, product, legal, compliance, and operations to assess operational readiness for launching innovative crypto and blockchain products. You will evaluate, communicate, and manage operational risks associated with digital-asset initiatives and emerging regulatory developments, while developing tools and analytics to monitor operational risks across Fidelity’s digital‑assets ecosystem.

The ideal candidate brings experience shaping end‑to‑end product operating models, identifying control gaps early, and partnering closely with product teams to embed strong risk and control practices throughout the product lifecycle.

We are seeking a strategic problem solver with a consulting mindset, creativity, analytical rigor, outstanding organizational skills, and meticulous attention to detail.

The candidate should also demonstrate an entrepreneurial mindset—proactively seeking answers, driving resolution in ambiguous environments, and navigating novel blockchain‑related risk concepts with confidence. They must be comfortable operating amid uncertainty, independently exploring solutions, and shaping frameworks where established guidance may not yet exist.
