Vice President of Business Development at Paxos

About Paxos 

Today’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky — supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it.

We’re on a mission to open the world’s financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we’ve built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world’s leading financial institutions, like PayPal, Venmo, Mastercard and Interactive Brokers. 

About the role

Growth is the team at Paxos that builds and manages partnerships with our largest and most strategic clients. The focus of this role is to build a business around a new offering we’re taking to market with payments companies. We see a huge opportunity to integrate stablecoin technology into merchant acceptance, payout and settlement flows, and the market is really starting to take off. You’ll be working hand-in-hand with a cross-functional team across Product, Engineering, Product Marketing and Solutions Engineering to take the product from concept to launch to scale. You’ll have the opportunity to change the way the payments landscape operates at scale. If you’re a builder who likes taking a product from 0 to 1, then this is the role for you.
