Role overview

Pave Bank, founded by the team behind Monzo and BigPay, is building the world’s first programmable business bank. As a Senior Trader, you will execute multi-asset trading strategies and manage the bank’s foreign exchange, digital asset exposures, liquidity, and treasury operations across global markets. This is a hands-on position that combines traditional financial market expertise with a technology-driven approach.

Key responsibilities

Execute multi-asset trades across foreign exchange, digital assets, and fixed income markets across global corridors with precision and strict risk discipline.
Build and manage the firm’s over-the-counter book by actively sourcing high-value trading opportunities for the desk.
Manage real-time foreign exchange and digital asset exposures within defined limits, implementing smart hedging and inventory positioning across 30 or more currencies.
Own intraday and end-of-day treasury operations across banks, OTC desks, exchanges, and digital wallets to maximise capital efficiency and capture yield opportunities.
Manage and expand the network of liquidity providers and OTC counterparties, including onboarding partners and benchmarking their pricing performance.
Collaborate with Operations, Compliance, Finance, and Commercial teams on settlement flows, transaction monitoring, and business development.
Champion the use of artificial intelligence tools and automation to streamline desk reporting, market analysis, and treasury forecasts.

Requirements

At least five years of hands-on experience in foreign exchange, OTC execution, treasury, or liquidity management at a buy-side or sell-side institution, bank, broker, cryptocurrency firm, or fintech company.
Advanced proficiency with industry-standard trading software and financial data platforms such as Bloomberg Terminal.
Solid understanding of global financial markets, including G20 and emerging-market foreign exchange, fixed income products, derivatives, and digital assets, with hands-on digital asset trading experience being highly valued.
Active familiarity with artificial intelligence tools and automation methods to optimise workflows and solve operational challenges.
Highly numerate with advanced Excel capabilities; experience with SQL, Python, or building custom trading and treasury tools is a significant advantage.
Strong risk fundamentals with the confidence to make quick, well-calibrated decisions in fast-moving markets.
Clear communication skills to lead partner discussions and a strong bias toward action with comfort navigating ambiguity in a fast-paced environment.

What makes this role worth considering

You will work at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets at a company reimagining global business banking through programmable financial infrastructure. This role offers genuine opportunity to build and improve trading workflows using cutting-edge technology, rather than simply executing within existing systems.
