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 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 procedures and tools.
