About Paxos

Today’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky — supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it.

We’re on a mission to open the world’s financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we’ve built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world’s leading financial institutions, like Mastercard, Visa, Robinhood, and PayPal.

About the team

The Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Team is responsible for establishing and maintaining a strong framework to manage organizational governance, cybersecurity risks, regulatory requirements, and compliance obligations. The team works closely with business units, technology teams, and stakeholders to identify risks, implement controls, monitor compliance, and support continuous improvement of security and operational processes.

About the role

The GRC Analyst supports the development, implementation, and maintenance of governance, risk management, and compliance programs within the organization.

What you’ll do
