Trade & Treasury Operations Manager at a cross-border payments platform built on stablecoin rails.

Trade and Treasury Operations Manager reporting to the Head of Operations. The role runs the firm's FX-and-stablecoin conversion ladder end to end, alongside on-chain settlement workflows, custody arrangements and counterparty exposure across the payment corridors.

About the firm

Anonymised by default.

A cross-border payments platform built on stablecoin rails. The firm holds EU and US licensing. Around 70 staff. The firm processes B2B payment flows for fintech and platform customers.

We name a client on the mandate page only where the firm has approved publication. Where not named, the description above is intended to be enough for a senior candidate to recognise whether their pattern fits the brief.

The brief

What this seat exists to do.

Trade and Treasury Operations Manager reporting to the Head of Operations. The seat owns the firm's treasury rails end-to-end.

Day-to-day responsibility for the firm's FX-and-stablecoin conversion ladder, banking-partner liquidity management, and counterparty settlement across the firm's customer book.

Works closely with engineering on automation of the treasury workflow and with finance on the daily reconciliation cycle.

London-based, office-first three days per week. Limited travel.

What we are assessing for

  • Current or recent treasury operations experience at a regulated payments or e-money firm — the seat is operational, not strategic.
  • Comfort with stablecoin-rail mechanics: on-chain settlement, gas management, and the operational quirks of running treasury across multiple chains and stablecoin issuers.
  • Strong systems instinct. The firm has invested heavily in tooling; the seat is the user and partner of that tooling, not its operator-of-last-resort.
  • Patterns: a treasury operations lead from a peer EU-licensed payments firm; a settlements lead from a stablecoin issuer; an FX operations manager from a tier-one bank with crypto exposure.
The firm's read

Spectrum's read on this search.

The role runs the firm's FX-and-stablecoin conversion ladder end to end, alongside on-chain settlement workflows, custody arrangements and counterparty exposure across the payment corridors. The ladder is sized to live corridor volumes from day one, with settlement-break cover from week one. Two operating halves sit inside the role. One half is an FX ladder carried at a payments business. The other is on-chain settlement and stablecoin mechanics worked in production. The work calls for both halves to be carried in the same role, not split across an FX lead and a crypto-settlement lead.

— Craig Oliver, Founder & CEO
