The Mission
As our Senior PBP, you won't just "support" the business—you will build it. You’ll be the strategic architect for our most valuable asset: our people. You will sit at the table with our CEO and front-office leaders, acting as a high-credibility advisor who understands that in a trading environment, talent is the alpha.

Requirements

• Battle-Tested: You have 7-10 years of HR experience, with a significant chunk spent in the trenches of a trading desk or high-frequency financial environment.
• Crypto-Fluent: You don’t just know what Bitcoin is; you understand the decentralized ethos. Whether you’ve worked in crypto or are a deep-diver who spends your weekends on DeFi protocols, you get the space.
• Radically Authentic: You possess the executive presence to challenge an exec and the empathy to support a junior dev. You are a straight shooter who builds trust through transparency.
• Intellectually Curious: You are a polymath. You want to understand our liquidity pools as much as our compensation pools.
• NYC Resident: You thrive in the energy of the city and are ready to be on the ground where the action happens. This role requires office presence 4 days per week in our beautiful Bryant Park location.

Responsibilities

• Front-Office Whisperer: Build immediate credibility with traders, engineers, and executives. You understand their pace, their pressures, and how to drive performance without slowing them down.
• Entrepreneurial HR: We don’t have a 500-page manual for every scenario. You will design the frameworks, culture touchpoints, and talent strategies that don't exist yet.
• High-Impact Talent Strategy: Move beyond "filling roles." You’ll hunt for the top 1% of talent and build the retention engines that keep them here.
• Navigational Leadership: Guide the organization through the volatile cycles of the crypto market with a steady hand, high emotional intelligence, and a focus on long-term scaling.
• Data as a Language: Use HR analytics not just for reporting, but to predict trends, optimize team structures, and make a business case for every people initiative.

Benefits

• No Red Tape: We value results over bureaucracy. If you have a better way to do something, you have the autonomy to execute it.
• The Intersection: Work at the literal melting point of TradFi and the future of the internet and finance.
• Extreme Ownership: You will see the direct impact of your decisions on our P&L and company culture every single day.
