Senior FX Sales & Trading
Your Mission
As the Senior FX Sales & Trading professional, your mission is to transform Rafiki's FX capabilities into a competitive market offering. You will develop commercial and operational strategies for FX sales and active B2B market-making. You will bridge the gap between complex frontier market liquidity across Africa and Asia and the needs of our institutional B2B clients, ensuring Rafiki provides the best pricing, deepest liquidity, and most reliable execution in the market.
Your Responsibilities
- Drive Rafiki FX Sales: Develop and execute the commercial strategy to sell FX services to B2B clients, ensuring Rafiki is the preferred partner for frontier market liquidity.
- P&L Ownership: Take full responsibility for the FX sales margin. Optimize the spread between our liquidity sources, including banks and parallel markets, and our B2B client pricing.
- Product Evolution: Work closely with Engineering and Product teams to automate Rafiki's pricing engines and trading workflows, ensuring they are robust enough for high-volume B2B traffic.
- Risk & Exposure Management: Design and oversee sophisticated hedging strategies to protect the business against volatility in frontier markets while maintaining competitive client rates.
- Market Intelligence: Act as the internal and external voice of the market, providing deep-dive insights on parallel versus official rates to inform both our product roadmap and our clients' trading decisions.
Must-Have Requirements
- Senior Experience: 7+ years in FX trading or FX sales, with a proven track record in a fast-paced environment.
- Commercial Hunter Mindset: Deep experience in B2B and institutional sales. You know how to package FX liquidity as a product and win over sophisticated, rate-sensitive clients.
- Frontier Market Mastery: Expert-level knowledge of African FX markets, including the nuances of navigating illiquid currencies and parallel market dynamics.
- P&L Management: Experience owning a revenue target and managing the risk and reward balance of a trading book.
- Extreme Ownership: A startup-ready mentality. You do not wait for instructions. You identify market gaps and build the infrastructure to fill them.
Nice-to-Have Requirements
- Deep Network: An existing rolodex of liquidity providers, central bank contacts, and potential B2B clients across Africa and Asia.
- Tech-Forward: Experience with automated trading systems, API-driven FX pricing, or stablecoin and crypto settlement, such as USDC or USDT, as a liquidity tool.
- Advanced Certification: CFA, CAIA, or a Master's degree in a quantitative financial field.
