About OpenFX

About the role

You will build and lead the entire people function: talent acquisition and people operations, across every geography, from the infrastructure up. This is the senior-most people seat in the company. You report to the COO and work directly with the CEO on org design, executive hiring, workforce planning, and compensation philosophy.

What they're looking for

  • You have designed and run a performance and compensation system, not just administered one someone else built. You can show us the framework, explain the choices behind it, and tell us honestly what you would change
  • You are credible in both talent acquisition and people operations, and can operate hands-on in both until your team exists
  • You operate with high autonomy. We give you a charter, a budget, and access to every leader. We do not give you a playbook
  • You write well. We are distributed across time zones and decisions travel through documents
More about this role

Less than 2.5 years after founding, we process $80B in annualized transaction volume. We are roughly 180 people across San Francisco, New York, Miami, London, Amsterdam, Dubai, Bangalore, and Singapore, with regulated entities and license applications spanning the US, UK, EU, UAE, and beyond. The team comes from J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Visa, Mastercard, Coinbase, Stripe, Rippling, PayPal, Affirm, and Kraken. We are backed by Accel, Atomico, Lightspeed, M13, NFX, and Northzone, amongst several other global tier-one investors.
