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, Interactive Brokers and Charles Schwab.

About the team

Growth is the team at Paxos that builds and manages partnerships with our largest and most strategic enterprise clients. We work hand-in-hand with Paxos leadership and cross-functional partners to turn big ideas into live products, and to bring them to some of the most influential fintech, payments and financial institutions in the world.
