About Paxos
Paxos is on a mission to enable the movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. Today's financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient, and risky, often 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.
About the Role
The Head of Public Policy will manage the development of Paxos' policy positions and drive engagement with the public, policymakers, and regulators. You will engage with national and global leaders on multiple topics relating to the future of finance, the digital economy, capital markets, blockchain, and cryptocurrencies. This role is critical to ensuring that Paxos remains at the forefront of these conversations.
In this position, you will develop strategic policy positions, serve as a representative to industry associations, and oversee regulatory applications. You will collaborate closely with the Communications team to amplify Paxos' policy perspectives and ensure policymakers are regularly updated on relevant developments. Additionally, you will author white papers, thought pieces, and other materials to articulate well-constructed policy arguments. Success in this role requires deep, hands-on experience with the US legislative process, strong bipartisan contacts among policymakers and regulators, and the ability to align policy work with the overall business strategy.
