About the Opportunity

OKX is undertaking a significant global team buildout, and we are looking for an experienced Manager or Senior Manager to join our Digital Trust & Controls Assurance team. This is a unique opportunity for a subject matter expert in cybersecurity governance, operations, and threat management to execute critical assurance projects that directly impact the security posture and integrity of a leading crypto organization. As a senior individual contributor, you will focus on deep, technical assessments of the company's end-to-end cyber defense program, from strategy and governance to the effectiveness of its defensive teams and tools.

What You’ll Be Doing

Serve as the subject matter expert for auditing the company’s end-to-end cyber defense program, including the enterprise-wide cybersecurity strategy, governance framework, policies, and operational capabilities (e.g., SOC, incident response, threat management) against unique crypto threats.
Leverage your deep expertise in cybersecurity governance and operations to lead strategic, end-to-end audits of our security program and contribute to a wide range of audits across other Digital Trust domains.
Contribute to the annual risk-based audit plan by identifying emerging cybersecurity risks and scoping potential audit projects.
Collaborate effectively with security, technology, and business stakeholders to communicate audit findings, provide value-add recommendations, and monitor remediation plans.
Develop and maintain expert knowledge of the evolving crypto threat landscape and global regulatory requirements to ensure audit approaches remain current and effective.
