Operational Risk & Control Analyst

At Blockrise we believe strong compliance is critical and can power growth, not hinder it. As we scale our services, we’re looking for a disciplined and intelligent Operational Risk and Control Analyst to help embed risk and control procedures deeply into our day-to-day operations.

You will play a key role in maintaining the operational governance infrastructure required by DORA and MiCAR. This includes managing and updating the risk register, maintaining policy and procedural documentation, tracking IT backups, and owning the information register. The work is detailed, structured, and mission-critical—requiring both diligence and the ability to engage assertively with peers and senior stakeholders. You will work closely with compliance, operations, and technology teams to ensure regulatory alignment while supporting our ambitious growth plans. This is an ideal opportunity for someone with a keen eye for risk, control and governance, who wants to grow into a key function within a fast-moving and forward-looking organisation.

• Maintain and update the organisation’s risk register and follow up on control actions
• Own the policy and procedure framework, including version control, annual reviews, and governance logs
• Maintain the information register and ensure it is DORA-compliant
• Track and document IT backups, liaising with technical teams to ensure ongoing compliance
• Ensure risk controls are documented, communicated, and adopted across operational and technical teams
• Support implementation and reporting requirements for MiCAR and DORA compliance
• Collaborate with operations and tech to identify process changes and update associated documentation
• Assist in preparing for audits and regulatory reviews by maintaining audit-ready records
