Our only careers site ispaxos.com/careers, and we only recruit via @paxos.comemail. Details below.\n___\nAbout Paxos\nToday’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.\nWe’re on a mission to open the world’s financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we’ve built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world's leading financial institutions, like PayPal, Venmo, Mastercard, Interactive Brokers and Charles Schwab.\nAbout the team\nYou'll be the sole member of our Corporate Development function, working side by side with the executive team on Paxos's fundraising and inorganic growth. You'll partner with executive and product leadership to develop investment theses, and work with teams across the company to make sure deals deliver after they close.\nAbout the role\nThe Corporate Development Lead serves as the driver of Paxos's inorganic growth strategy, identifying, structuring, and executing acquisitions, and owning process management for our fundraising efforts as we scale. You will own the full M&A lifecycle. You will also support the CEO and CFO on end-to-end fundraise processes, helping tell the Paxos story to the right capital partners at the right time.\nWhat you’ll do\nOwn the M&A process end-to-end:\nDevelop Investment and M&A theses by researching and monitoring emerging trends and disruptive companies and deeply understanding Paxos product strategy and overall priorities\n\nSource, evaluate, and execute acquisitions - lead cross-functional diligence, drive structuring, negotiation, and close\n\nBuild and maintain a live pipeline of targets aligned to Paxos’s strategic priorities across infrastructure, distribution, and regulated capabilities\n\nConduct analysis of operating performance, lead market diligence, and prepare investment memos. Develop rigorous financial models and valuation frameworks\n\nOwn fundraising process & investor relations:\nLead end-to-end equity fundraise processes - drive workstreams, prepare investor materials, build and manage data rooms, coordinate diligence, and control the process timeline; serve as the day-to-day owner ensuring nothing falls through the cracks and the CFO and CEO are focused where they matter most\n\nMaintain ongoing relationships with current and prospective investors between raises providing regular investor updates\n\nBe a strategic partner to the executive team:\nBring an informed external view - on competitors, market structure, and emerging opportunities - into our strategic planning process; translate what you’re seeing in the market into clear, actionable recommendations for leadership\n\nContinue to scale Paxos Ventures. To date, Paxos has made over 25 venture investments across the digital asset space\nSource, evaluate and recommend early stage venture investments that further Paxos strategic priorities\n\nPartner cross-functionally across the company to support founders and portfolio companies\n\nHelp build our founder community by planning programs and events that convene portfolio companies, investors, and others in the ecosystem\n\nBuild the corp dev muscle at Paxos: Establish repeatable processes for deal sourcing, evaluation, and integration planning; develop the templates, frameworks, and institutional knowledge that make us faster and sharper with every transaction\n\nAbout you\nWe’re looking for someone who is entrepreneurial, analytical and very comfortable operating in ambiguity. You help bring focus and structure to ambiguous situations to chart a clear path forward. You might come from investing (Banking, PE, VC) or a Corp Dev team at a fast-growing (fin)tech company.\nDemonstrated track record of executing M&A or investment transactions - you have closed deals, not just supported them\n\nStrong financial modeling and valuation skills\n\nYou enjoy building relationships\n\nProven ability to own a fundraising process end-to-end - managing workstreams, materials, and investor relationships with minimal oversight\n\nFamiliarity with the blockchain infrastructure, digital asset, or fintech space is a plus\n\nExcellent communication skills - you can present a nuanced deal thesis to a CFO and explain a term sheet to an engineer\n\nComfort operating as an IC in a fast-moving environment; you don’t need a team to be effective, and you know how to pull in the right internal stakeholders at the right moment\n\nYou default to AI and take pride in your work. You are building agents, vibe-coding apps, and more.\n\nYou likely have 7+ years of work experience\n\nImportant Notice for Paxos Applicants\n Fraudulent accounts sometimes pose as Paxos recruiters on LinkedIn and other platforms, and fake websites sometimes impersonate our careers site.
