Chief Information Officer (Europe)

At CoinJar, we've made cryptocurrency useful and accessible to clients for over a decade. Established in Australia in 2013, CoinJar has since built a trusted platform where clients benefit from intuitive tools to buy, sell, spend and trade cryptocurrency. Following our successful Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) registration, CoinJar has now launched in Ireland. CoinJar operates through local subsidiaries in Australia, the United Kingdom and Ireland (CoinJar Europe Limited). This entails building relationships with local regulators and obtaining local licenses wherever it operates or aims to operate. Currently CoinJar is seeking a Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCAR) licence and is building out the EU team from Dublin.

This role reports directly to the CEO and requires a deep understanding of information security, data privacy, and IT governance within the context of a regulated financial services environment.

The successful candidate will manage operational resilience and IT risk. This includes conducting risk assessments, developing mitigation strategies, and ensuring business continuity in the event of a breach. You will also serve as the primary contact for cybersecurity and data protection matters.
