Professional Services Consultant, Risk

Ripple Ripple · Fintech · Chicago, IL +1 · Service & Delivery

This role is for a Professional Services Consultant focused on Risk implementation at Ripple. The consultant will partner with treasury, accounting, and finance teams to understand challenges, architect solutions, and lead implementations related to debt, derivatives (FX and interest rate), hedge accounting, accounting workflows, and financial reporting. The role involves leading discovery workshops, designing solution architectures, delivering implementations across key risk disciplines, and acting as a client-facing expert. It requires a deep understanding of treasury and financial risk management, with a focus on configuring and deploying Ripple Treasury solutions.

What you'd actually do

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Streamline debt lifecycle management, interest accruals, investment accounting, and exposure reporting. Help clients gain crystal-clear visibility into their funding and investment positions.
  4. Lead the implementation of comprehensive derivative management solutions that give clients real-time command over their risk exposures. You will serve as a subject matter expert across both foreign exchange and interest rate derivative instruments — helping clients design, automate, and govern their derivative programs with precision and confidence.
  5. Guide clients through complex hedge accounting requirements under ASC 815 and IFRS. Own designation, effectiveness testing, documentation, and valuation — while helping organizations slash manual processes and stay audit-ready.
