About the Role

Own and run Taptap Send's FX trading function across emerging-market corridors, G10 treasury book, and stablecoin on/off ramps. This role requires deep experience in emerging-market FX, strong relationships with liquidity providers, sharp analytical and execution skills, and the judgment to manage risk and margin under volatile conditions.

Responsibilities

• Own day-to-day FX execution across 40+ actively traded currencies, setting the standard for execution quality, pricing, and risk discipline.
• Take full accountability for trading margin, managing the spread between sourcing cost and required rates corridor by corridor, and reporting performance with clear attribution.
• Build and manage the liquidity provider panel, onboarding, benchmarking, and renegotiating to secure competitive pricing.
• Manage liquidity concentration so no corridor depends on a single counterparty.
• Optimize how the desk funds each corridor, including stablecoin sourcing where it is cheaper and faster than fiat rails.
• Work closely with Treasury on pre-funding and working capital, recognizing that execution timing moves the funding requirement.
• Partner with Ops and Compliance on counterparty risk and settlement flows.
• Translate FX dynamics into clear decisions for senior stakeholders.
• Lead and develop the existing trading team, raising capability and driving automation so the desk scales without scaling headcount one-for-one.

Requirements

• Proven track record running FX execution in emerging markets.
• Direct ownership of a margin or P&L target under volatile conditions.
• Experience managing liquidity providers.
• Experience leading a specialist trading team.
• High ownership and a data-led bias to action.
• Direct communication style and sound judgment under pressure with incomplete information.
