Business Lead, HyperFX (Fintech Integrations & Liquidity Partnerships)

About the role

Polytope Labs builds Hyperbridge, a cryptographically secure interoperability protocol, and HyperFX, a decentralized exchange for stablecoin FX where swaps between stablecoins such as USDC, USDT, cNGN and ZARP settle onchain through smart contracts. The Business Lead grows HyperFX by building relationships with liquidity providers who quote on it and with fintechs that settle FX through it, turning partnerships into live volume.

Key responsibilities

• Bring partners' needs back to product and engineering.
• Own the partnerships pipeline and report against liquidity and volume targets.

Required profile

• 5+ years in fintech, liquidity, treasury or FX operations.
• An active network across LPs, market makers, OTC desks or treasury teams that can be brought in from day one.
• A track record of closing partnerships or integrations that moved volume.
• Solid grasp of FX market structure, settlement and treasury flows.
• Experience in emerging-market FX or cross-border payments.
• Comfort working in a small, fast-moving team with a lot of ownership.
