About the role
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 Business Operations to lead and scale the BizOps function at OpenFX. This is a builder-operator role, not a maintenance role. Today we run business operations through a lean team and a set of individual contributors who kickstarted our core operational areas. As we scale across the US, UK, UAE, EU and India, we need a senior leader who can take that foundation, turn it into a durable operating system, and personally own the highest-stakes cross-functional problems. You would lead the Business Operations team and set the operating cadence that connects trade operations, finance, revenue operations, legal/regulatory operations and strategy. You would be the connective tissue of the company — translating high-level strategy into plans, KPIs and rituals the rest of the organization can actually run on. This is a step up from our Business Operations Manager roles: where they execute within a domain, you own the whole function, manage the people in it, and are accountable for outcomes at the company level. You would report to the Head of Operations and work closely with every functional leader in the company. Over time, and depending on your strengths and the shape of the business, this role may expand to include ownership of the Partnerships function — banking and liquidity partner relationships are central to how OpenFX operates, and we want a leader who can eventually hold that as well. We're being direct about that scope: partnerships is a likely expansion area, not a day-one guarantee. We've learned that ambiguity about scope doesn't serve anyone. If you're looking for a narrow analyst-adjacent role, this isn't it. If you've built and led business operations at scale in fintech and you're excited to do it again at a company moving quickly through regulated markets, keep reading. Mission Build and lead OpenFX's Business Operations function into the operating backbone of the company — turning strategy into a disciplined, measurable operating system across trade, revenue, finance and regulatory operations in every geography, so the business scales from ~80 to 250+ people without the wheels coming off. Be the senior operator the company relies on to make cross-functional execution predictable, and grow into ownership of partnerships over time. Key
