  • Experience across traditional markets (FX, equities, commodities, fixed income) and/or digital assets
  • Familiarity with institutional onboarding, DDQs, and regulated financial environments
  • Strong communication and negotiation skills with senior institutional counterparts
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with ability to operate in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment

  • Competitive commission-based bonus
  • Long-term incentive in the form of a new hire equity grant
  • Comprehensive health plans
  • 401K with company matching

Salary Range: The base salary for this role is $200,000 in the State of New York. In addition to the base salary, this role is eligible for our competitive bonus commission plan, including a direct percentage commission payout based on revenue generated from covered clients. The base salary is also not inclusive of our equity package. When determining a candidate's compensation, we consider a number of factors including skillset, experience, job scope, and current market data.

In the United States, we offer a hybrid work approach at our hub offices, balancing the benefits of in-person collaboration with the flexibility of remote work. Expectations may vary by location and role, so candidates are encouraged to connect with their recruiter to learn more about the specific policy for the role. Employees who do not live near one of our hubs are part of our remote workforce. All employees, however, are required to onboard in-person at one of our office locations.
