Senior Trader

ABOUT PAVE BANK

Pave Bank is the world’s first programmable business bank. Built by the founders behind Monzo and BigPay, we are redefining global business banking by integrating programmable financial infrastructure with world-class client experiences.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Senior Trader at Pave Bank, you'll play a key role in executing multi-asset trading strategies and managing the bank's FX and digital asset exposures, liquidity, and treasury operations across global markets. Working across G20 and emerging-market FX, fixed income, derivatives, and digital assets/stablecoins, you'll help optimise trade execution, manage risk, and strengthen the bank's network of liquidity providers and OTC counterparties.

Beyond day-to-day trading, you'll have the opportunity to build and improve trading and treasury workflows, leveraging AI tools and automation to enhance efficiency, market analysis, and decision-making. This is a hands-on role for someone who combines strong financial market expertise with a proactive, technology-driven mindset and thrives at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

HIGH-IMPACT EXECUTION

• Execute multi-asset trades across FX, digital assets, and fixed income across global corridors with high precision, speed, and strict risk discipline.

• Build and manage the firm's OTC book, actively sourcing the next high-value trading opportunities for the desk.

• Devise and implement execution strategies for the desk to maximise risk-adjusted returns.

TREASURY & RISK MANAGEMENT

• Manage real-time FX and digital asset exposures within defined limits, running smart hedging and inventory positioning across 30+ currencies.

• Own intraday and end-of-day treasury operations across banks, OTC desks, exchanges, and digital wallets — maximising capital efficiency and driving idle funds to capture yield.

PARTNER & COUNTERPARTY STRATEGY

• Help manage and expand our network of liquidity providers and OTC counterparties.

• Onboard partners, benchmark pricing performance, and eliminate single points of failure across active trading corridors.

CROSS-FUNCTIONAL COLLABORATION

• Collaborate directly with Operations, Compliance, Finance, and Commercial teams on settlement flows, transaction monitoring, and business development.

AI, TOOLING & PROCESS INNOVATION

• Champion the use of AI tools and automation to streamline daily desk reporting, market analysis, and treasury forecasts, cutting out manual friction wherever it lives.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in FX, OTC execution, treasury, or liquidity management at a buy-side/sell-side institution, bank, broker, crypto firm, or fintech.

• Platform Mastery: Advanced proficiency using industry-standard trading software and financial data platforms (e.g., Bloomberg Terminal).

• Multi-Asset Knowledge: A solid grasp of global financial markets, including FX (G20 & EM), fixed income products, derivatives, and digital assets. Hands-on experience trading digital assets is a major plus.

• AI Mindset: Active familiarity with AI tools and automation methods to optimise personal workflows, solve complex operational challenges, and scale desk capacity.

• Technical & Quantitative Skills: Highly numerate with advanced Excel capabilities. Experience with SQL, Python, or building custom trading/treasury tools is a major bonus.

• Decisive & Risk-Disciplined: Strong risk fundamentals with the confidence to make quick, well-calibrated decisions in live, fast-moving markets.

• Communicator & Builder: Clear, confident communication style to lead partner discussions. A strong bias toward action, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment where execution speed is critical.

If you read through this description and don't check off every single box, but you have a strong foundation in market dynamics, a passion for digital assets, and a deep appetite to build — apply anyway. We care much more about your drive, your adaptability, and your capacity to learn than a 100% match on a checklist.
