Senior People/HR Business Partner

About Paxos

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.

We’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 and Interactive Brokers.

About the team

The People team is on a mission to create more than just a workplace; we're building a hub where exceptional talent thrives. We equip our leaders with innovative tools, frameworks, and tailored coaching, enabling them to excel in making great people decisions. These decisions span across every area of the business, such as recruitment, onboarding, employee recognition, feedback, and compensation. Our goal is to create exceptional experiences that make every day at Paxos not just productive, but also deeply rewarding and fulfilling.
