Head of Trade Operations

About Us OpenFX is on a mission to move money as freely as data, unrestricted by time zones, banking hours, or legacy systems. We are building the infrastructure that will power the next generation of cross-border payment systems for institutions. The team's execution has been exceptional, and we're scaling at a remarkable pace. Our stellar early team comes with experience in companies like J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, FalconX, PayPal, Affirm, Polygon, Kraken, Nium and others. We're backed by Accel, Lightspeed, NfX and other top-tier investors. Role Overview We're hiring a Head of Trade Operations to build and lead the Trade Operations function at OpenFX. Reporting to the Head of Operations, you will own the end-to-end trade and treasury operation and lead the team that keeps OpenFX's cross-border flows settling accurately, on time, and at scale. Trade Operations is the operational backbone of OpenFX's core business. The team executes and controls the full trade lifecycle, manages multi-currency liquidity and treasury, and keeps settlement flawless across time zones and corridors as volume grows. This is a deliberately hands-on leadership role. You set the operating model, build the controls, and stay with the work until trades settle cleanly and the numbers are trustworthy, not stopping at plans or presentations. You will work closely with leaders across Product, Partnerships, Finance, Business Operations, Compliance and Engineering. Trade Operations owns the trade lifecycle, liquidity, and operational risk and controls, while each partner function continues to own its own strategy, specialist decisions and results. Key Responsibilities Lead and scale the Trade Operations function Manage, coach and develop the Trade Operations team across geographies, with clear responsibilities, scorecards and development plans for each team member. Build the operating model, coverage framework and capacity plan needed to run across IST, GMT and US time zones as OpenFX scales. Set
