Pave Bank is the world’s first programmable business bank. Built by the founders behind Monzo and BigPay, we are redefining global business banking by integrating programmable financial infrastructure with world-class client experiences.
As a Senior Trader at Pave Bank, you'll play a key role in executing multi-asset trading strategies and managing the bank's FX and digital asset exposures, liquidity, and treasury operations across global markets. Working across G20 and emerging-market FX, fixed income, derivatives, and digital assets/stablecoins, you'll help optimise trade execution, manage risk, and strengthen the bank's network of liquidity providers and OTC counterparties.
Beyond day-to-day trading, you'll have the opportunity to build and improve trading and treasury workflows, leveraging AI tools and automation to enhance efficiency, market analysis, and decision-making. This is a hands-on role for someone who combines strong financial market expertise with a proactive, technology-driven mindset and thrives at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets.
