Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

6 transfer filings in the last year, covering 6 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • This is a builder's role in an environment where the risk profile is still taking shape.
  • Success requires an independent, proactive leader who can quantify exposure credibly, challenge the first line without stalling it, and translate financial risk into decisions the business will act on.

Responsibilities

  • Build and Own the Financial Risk Framework
  • Build the financial risk appetite statement, limit framework, and supporting policies from the ground up.
  • Establish and lead the financial risk forum, with clear decision rights and limit breach escalation that has teeth.
  • Own financial risk reporting to the Global Risk Committee and the Board.
  • Own the Margin Program
  • Build the enterprise margin policy, including decision authority, exception management, and supporting KRIs.
  • Establish margin portfolio stress testing and scenario design, and put it into practice through exposure limits and loss budgets.
  • Partner with Treasury on the liquidity risk framework covering intraday funding, clearing and settlement obligations, and stress scenarios including partner-driven withdrawal and redemption surges.
  • Own second-line oversight of market access and pre-trade risk controls, including credit and capital thresholds, order and position limits, and kill switch governance across partner integrations.
  • Partner with Finance and Regulatory Reporting to build objective, data-driven views of net capital, capital adequacy, and clearing fund and NSCC/DTCC exposure that drive action rather than readouts.

Requirements

  • Practical fluency with agentic AI applied to risk work, with real examples of what you have built or deployed.
  • For US-based roles: Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis without the need for current or future visa sponsorship.
  • Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. DriveWealth does not sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time.

Compensation

  • $200,000 - $215,000 USD
  • To support that work, we provide competitive compensation, equity, and a 401(k) match.
  • Pay is generally based on the level, complexity, responsibility, location, and job duties/requirements of the specific position.

Benefits

  • We also offer Medical insurance, Dental insurance, Vision insurance, Disability insurance, and Paid Parental Leave, along with a wellness reimbursement, a company-provided phone, and a personal development allowance.
  • Finally, we value the time you spend away from the office with generous Paid Time Off (PTO) and observed holidays.
  • We then source candidates with the requisite skills, expertise, education, training, and experience.
