Today’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky - supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it.  As a regulated blockchain infrastructure company, we use technology to tokenize, custody, trade, and settle assets for enterprise clients like PayPal, Novi, Bank of America, and Interactive Brokers. Paxos is a top-funded blockchain company, with more than $500 million in total funding from leading investors like OakHC/FT, Founders Fund, PayPal Ventures, and Declaration Partners. Together, we empower today’s financial leaders to build a more open, trusted economy.  The Paxos Compliance team is looking for a Sr. Program Manager - Third Party Risk Management (Business/Banking Partnerships) to design and deliver an enhanced third party risk framework that supports our “best in class” Compliance program in line with Paxos growth objectives, operational capabilities and regulatory obligations.  This role will focus specifically on overseeing due diligence and ongoing monitoring of Paxos’ business partners.
