Senior Talent Partner & Advisor (Operations)

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 & others. We’re backed by Accel, Lightspeed, NfX and other top-tier investors.

We are hiring a senior talent partner and advisor, dedicated to hiring for the Operations team. The operations team includes compliance operations, payments operations, client success, treasury and finance operations, and adjacent roles. Many of these are senior, specialised searches in a regulated industry, spanning India, the US, UK / Europe and the Middle East. You own every operations search end to end, from intake with the hiring manager to a signed offer, in whichever geography the role sits. This is a hands-on sourcing and closing role, not a generalist or people ops role.
