BUSINESS SEGMENT AND ROLE OVERVIEW

Goldman Sachs is growing its Digital Assets business in London and is actively looking for a dynamic candidate at Vice President level. This is a unique opportunity to take a senior role in driving our crypto strategy, as we have high ambitions to deliver the breadth and depth of the global Digital Assets offering to the firm’s clients.

The Digital Assets team is part of our Global Banking and Markets Public division but has a firmwide and cross-divisional mandate focused on defining and executing Goldman Sachs’ blockchain and cryptocurrency efforts.

On a day-to-day basis we perform a number of functions across our commercial areas of focus, which includes: capital markets activity using blockchain technology, crypto-linked trading products and content, using blockchain technology for the firm’s collateral mobility, and utilizing digital money solutions across transactions, amongst others.
