JD – Chief Information and Security Officer

This is a senior leadership role focused on Information Security, Risk Management, and Compliance. We are seeking a dedicated and visionary Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to join our dynamic leadership team. As the CISO, you will be responsible for owning and driving the enterprise-wide security strategy, ensuring resilience, compliance, and trust across our global payments infrastructure.

Security is crucial to the success of our company, so your role will be instrumental in protecting our systems, partners, and customers, while enabling secure scale across multiple jurisdictions. We are looking for someone with deep expertise in cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, and a strong understanding of the Payments, FinTech, and Web3 industries in which our company operates.

TransFi operates in both B2B and B2B2C models, so familiarity with global financial ecosystems, banking partners, and regulatory regimes is highly advantageous. You should have a sharp awareness of data protection, fraud prevention, and AML/KYC/KYT compliance requirements, and be enthusiastic about staying ahead of evolving cyber risks and regulatory frameworks.

Adaptability is key in this role, as both Web3 technologies and regulatory landscapes are constantly evolving. You must be open to innovation, continuous learning, and collaborating with diverse teams across geographies. What you are focused on today may evolve rapidly tomorrow, so flexibility, foresight, and a growth mindset are essential qualities for success in this position.
