About the role

At Ripple, we’re building a world where value moves like information does today. It’s big, it’s bold, and we’re already doing it. Through our crypto solutions for financial institutions, businesses, governments and developers, we are improving the global financial system and creating greater economic fairness and opportunity for more people, in more places around the world. And we get to do the best work of our career and grow our skills surrounded by colleagues who have our backs. If you’re ready to see your impact and unlock incredible career growth opportunities, join us, and build real world value. THE WORK: As Head of Managed Services at Ripple Treasury, you own the delivery, performance, and growth of our Hedge Accounting managed services practice, spanning both FX and Interest Rate Risk management. You lead a team of Derivative Accountants who deliver technical excellence to our client portfolio, and you’re accountable for the practice’s operational health end to end: client satisfaction, delivery quality, staffing, and the workflows that let the team execute quarter after quarter. You are responsible for running the Hedge Accounting practice: forecasting capacity against a growing client portfolio, making staffing calls, tracking delivery KPIs, resolving client escalations, and building the processes that let the team scale. When something technically challenging comes up — a contested de-designation, a novel structuring question, an auditor pushing back — you’re the final point of resolution, setting the direction the practice follows going forward. This is a role for someone who can manage and lead a service organization day-to-day, and who has the technical depth in hedge accounting to support the team, when they need it.

Team Leadership & Development • Set clear performance expectations for Managers and team members, and provide ongoing coaching and feedback that develops both technical depth and delivery discipline. • Build a team culture grounded in accountability, technical rigor, and continuous improvement. • Develop each Manager’s technical and people leadership capability, so routine delivery decisions get made confidently without you. Technical Expertise & Escalation • Own the practice’s technical position on ASC 815 and IFRS 9 across FX and Interest Rate risk management — the standards and precedents the Managers and team apply day-to-day. • Act as the escalation point when a Manager or team member surfaces a hedge accoun
