Director of Public Policy

Paxos is looking for a Director of Public Policy to manage the development of our policy positions and how we engage with the public, policymakers and regulators on these topics. We engage with national and global leaders on multiple topics relating to the future of finance, the digital economy, capital markets, blockchain and cryptocurrencies, and this role will be critical to ensuring that Paxos is at the forefront of these conversations. Ideal candidates will have deep, hands-on experience and understanding of the legislative process in the US, strong bipartisan contacts amongst policymakers, regulators and agencies, and a passion for clearly defining and articulating well-constructed policy. 

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 - 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.
