- Lead relationships with exchanges, OTC desks, custodians, and liquidity providers; negotiate terms and ensure best execution.
- Monitor market conditions and proactively adjust positions within policy to optimise risk/reward.
2) Treasury operations & settlements
- Define custody architecture, signatory matrix, and secure transaction workflows.
- Oversee crypto-to-fiat conversions to ensure liquidity while minimising execution costs and slippage.
- Coordinate with Finance Ops & Data to run reconciliations, settlements, and ledger updates on time and without breaks.
- Ensure all systems and tools (TMS, APIs, dashboards) are configured for accurate, timely data flows.
3) Counterparty & risk management
- Build and maintain a counterparty framework covering limits, onboarding, ongoing monitoring, and stress testing.
- Track and report on concentrations; escalate breaches with remediation plans.
- Develop and maintain the Digital Asset Treasury Policy covering instruments, venues, approvals, and emergency procedures.
- Enforce operational controls including segregation of duties, maker/checker workflows, and multi-signature authorisations.
4) Reporting & strategic enablement
- Deliver concise, decision-ready reports and KPIs for leadership and the Board.
- Provide market and liquidity insights that influence capital allocation and risk appetite.
- Partner with corporate treasury on liquidity, FX, and funding strategies.
- Contribute to scaling processes and controls to align with public-company standards.
