This is a high-visibility, cross-functional leadership role reporting into executive leadership. You will own zerohash’s end-to-end digital asset liquidity and exchange services operations and strategy, across our Central Limit Order Book (“CLOB”) and Request-for-Quote (“RFQ”) trading systems. This includes relationships with leading market makers / liquidity providers, stablecoin issuers, and the execution of a robust strategy for the firm’s market-leading liquidity services. You'll work closely with Settlement & Trading Operations, Finance, Compliance, Product, Engineering, and Commercial teams, and will regularly present findings and recommendations to the executive team.

Candidates must be located within a 1-hour driving radius of one of our main office hubs (Chicago, NYC, UK/Amsterdam for EMEA).

Responsibilities

• Liquidity Strategy Development: Design and implement strategies to attract and maintain deep global liquidity across both the CLOB and RFQ, including identifying key trading pair, developing incentive structures, and scaling liquidity services globally.
• Liquidity Partner / Market Maker Relationships: Build and maintain strong relationships with high-volume liquidity partners, negotiating terms and ensuring they actively contribute to liquidity across various trading pairs, venues, and jurisdictions.
• Liquidity Services Operations: Lead the operational setup and enhancements of liquidity strategy globally, including settlement optimization across venues and jurisdictions.
• OTC Operations: manage end-to-end operations and execution of OTC trading, where applicable.

• Stablecoin Markets: Help develop deep markets for zerohash-issued stablecoins and/or tokenized assets, including end-to-end relationships with distribution partners.
• New Asset Configuration and Listing: Manage the complete catalogue of assets listed for liquidity within zerohash liquidity systems, while managing the listing process and coordinating with Legal and Compliance, Operations, Product, and Finance teams.
• Liquidity Monitoring and Analysis / Reporting: Continuously monitor market depth, order book quality, LP uptime, asset support, and trading volume across all venues. Develop recurring reporting (internal and external) to provide visibility to executive management and Platform partners.
• Risk Management: Identify and mitigate potential liquidity risks associated with market volatility, large order executions, and potential LP system outages.
• Data Analysis and Reporting: Analyze market data to identify trends and opportunities, generate reports on liquidity metrics, and present findings to senior management.
