The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Strategy & Operations Manager to help build the operating model for structured products on-chain. Demand for yield-bearing products from on-chain pools of capital is growing fast but the range of products available to meet it is limited. Structured products themselves have long settlement cycles, manual issuance processes and calculations that tokenisation and blockchain technology can rebuild.

This is an exciting opportunity to build from the ground up. You’ll own the operating model end-to-end: how a product is originated, issued, subscribed to, settled and then serviced through the lifecycle. You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, Compliance and Commercial teams as well as external partners.

This role is based full-time in our London office reporting into the Chief Product Officer

What you'll be doing

• Own the target operating model. Define how structured products are originated, issued, settled and serviced on-chain, upgrading the steps in the traditional flow.
• Serve as the central point of contact for complex product deals, facilitating the full lifecycle through to final technical deployment.
• Drive cross-functional execution by aligning Engineering, Product, and Commercial teams on complex deal timelines, dependencies, and risk mitigation.
• Design the products and not just the pipes. Work with issuers and partners to understand where the demand is and what payoffs are most appropriate.
• Translate intricate financial requirements into clear technical specifications, ensuring our infrastructure is optimized for high-complexity, high-value asset tokenization.

This role will be a great fit if you:

• Have worked on or around structured products, and can articulate how one is actually manufactured, distributed and serviced.
• Have significant experience in strategy, structuring, product, consulting, or a related role within financial services, or a technology-driven environment.
• Deep understanding of the end-to-end trade lifecycle, from pre-trade execution and settlement to post-trade lifecycle management and reporting.
• Possess Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to turn complex issues into practical solutions and are comfortable operating in ambiguity and under pressure.
• High levels of drive, ownership, and accountability, with a strong desire to build, improve, and scale systems rather than simply run them.
• The motivation to be part of an ambitious business where the pace is high and expectations are real.

How we support you:

• Competitive salaries with regular reviews that reflect your impact, performance, and progression.
• Generous stock options so you directly share in the company’s growth and long-term success.
• Premium private healthcare to support your physical wellbeing.
• 26 days of annual leave, plus your birthday off, and regional bank holidays - with flexible leave so you can take time off when you need it.
• An enhanced parental leave policy to support you and your family at every stage.
• A MacBook, screens, and any additional equipment you need to perform at a high level.
• Access to salary sacrifice schemes covering childcare, groceries, EV cars, tech, pensions, bikes, and subscriptions.
• Modern, centrally located offices in London, Belfast, Dundalk, and Dubai - designed for collaboration and focus.
• An annual learning and personal development budget for training, exams, certifications, and qualifications - whatever helps you move forward.
