VP, Enterprise Risk & Compliance
About this role
The Vice President of Enterprise Risk and Compliance will own the day-to-day interface between enterprise risk management and second-line functions while building and operationalizing the Enterprise Risk Assessment process. Operating within the Finance team, this leader acts as the founding owner of the Global ERM and Compliance function at CoreWeave, designing governance structures that enable proactive risk management at scale. Responsibilities include serving as the primary point of contact for the Board and Audit Committee, establishing a three-lines-of-defense model, and maintaining a centralized inventory of compliance requirements across all business units.
This role exists to guide one of the fastest-growing companies in the AI infrastructure space through complex global expansion, large balance sheet exposures, and operational scaling. A successful candidate brings deep enterprise risk leadership experience from high-growth technology or cloud environments, with a strong executive presence for presenting to C-suite leadership and boards. Individuals who thrive in ambiguous settings and possess a proven ability to construct risk programs from inception will find themselves well-aligned with the needs of this organization.
