Group Details
Tradeweb is building digital asset capable platforms to support the next phase of institutional markets, where traditional and digitally native assets trade side by side. As distributed ledger technology progresses across our tokenised and digital securities initiatives, we are looking for an individual to own both go-live within regulated regimes and the operation of these platforms once they are running.

This is a senior, hands-on role that spans delivery, operations and governance. In the run-up to launch you will own readiness across our digital asset work streams, coordinating the testing, dependencies and external parties that stand between a working platform and a live one. At go-live you become the operational owner, standing up the day-to-day procedures, first-line support and incident management that keep the platform reliable and its participants confident.

You will work across product, technology, legal, compliance and client-facing teams internally, and with banks, custodians, market infrastructure providers and technology partners externally.

The role includes appointment as a daily policymaker (dagelijks beleidsbepaler) of Tradeweb EU B.V., with responsibility for its digital asset activities. Alongside delivery and operational ownership, you will contribute to the entity's policy decisions, governance and oversight. Appointment to, and commencement of, the policymaker responsibilities are subject to a positive outcome of the AFM's suitability and reliability assessment.
