Role Overview The Head of Group Risk Control is responsible for building and leading ABFinance’s group-level risk control framework, covering fraud risk, trading risk, platform risk, and risk control engineering. This role ensures that risk is identified early, measured accurately, and controlled effectively, while enabling business growth in a compliant and sustainable manner.

What We’re Looking For Proven experience in risk control, risk management, or risk governance within fintech, trading, payments, or financial services. Strong understanding of fraud risk, trading/market risk, and platform/system risk. Experience leading multi-functional risk teams and working cross-functionally with tech and business teams. Ability to balance risk control and business enablement, rather than acting as a pure blocker. Clear, structured thinking with strong judgment under pressure. Experience working with risk models, risk engines, or risk-related R&D/engineering teams. Exposure to regulated or multi-jurisdiction environments. Background working closely with senior leadership or founders.
