The Role

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.

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.

• Support the development and launch of innovative new products involving crypto and blockchain technology in a risk-managed way
• Perform proactive and targeted data analysis and risk assessments to identify risks for management.
• Protect Fidelity by demonstrating and furthering standards related to process/risk/control frameworks and risk assessments as they relate to crypto products.

  - Smart Contracts (vulnerabilities, permission structure, interpreting audit reports)
  - Staking (e.g., delegation models)
  - Crypto custody (hot/cold wallets, private key management, and working knowledge of multi-signature vs multi-party computation arrangements)
• Strong interpersonal skills, with a demonstrated ability to partner and influence across the organization and collaborate in an interdisciplinary fashion
