THE WORK:

As Head of Managed Services at Ripple Treasury, you own the delivery, performance, and growth of our Hedge Accounting managed services practice, spanning both FX and Interest Rate Risk management. You lead a team of Derivative Accountants who deliver technical excellence to our client portfolio, and you’re accountable for the practice’s operational health end to end: client satisfaction, delivery quality, staffing, and the workflows that let the team execute quarter after quarter.

You are responsible for running the Hedge Accounting practice: forecasting capacity against a growing client portfolio, making staffing calls, tracking delivery KPIs, resolving client escalations, and building the processes that let the team scale. When something technically challenging comes up — a contested de-designation, a novel structuring question, an auditor pushing back — you’re the final point of resolution, setting the direction the practice follows going forward.

This is a role for someone who can manage and lead a service organization day-to-day, and who has the technical depth in hedge accounting to support the team, when they need it.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

Practice Management & Operations

• Design and manage the day-to-day operating model for how the practice delivers — from trade capture through close, disclosure, and audit response — across both FX and Interest Rate programs.
• Lead Hedge Accounting Managers and Derivative Accountants who bring technical excellence to every client engagement.
• Drive resource planning and capacity forecasting — including client-level staffing and organizational planning.
• Set, track, and hold the team accountable for the KPIs that define what great delivery looks like, and step in personally when you see signs of trouble.
• Identify and introduce technology that makes the team faster and more accurate in service delivery.
• Own hiring, organizational design, and workforce planning as the practice grows under you.
• Define and own the practice’s overarching strategy and methodology for how we advise clients on FX and Interest Rate hedge programs — setting the standards, frameworks, and technical positions the team operates within — and serve as the final escalation point for issues, discrepancies, or contested positions Managers unable to resolve.
