Senior Manager of Total Rewards & People Operations

About this role

Paxos is on a mission to enable the movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. 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.


As a regulated blockchain infrastructure company, we use technology to tokenize, custody, trade, and settle assets for enterprise clients like Mastercard, Visa, Robinhood, and PayPal. Paxos is a top-funded blockchain company, with more than $500 million in total funding from leading investors like OakHC/FT, Founders Fund, PayPal Ventures, and Declaration Partners. Together, we empower today’s financial leaders to build a more open, trusted economy.


We’re looking for a highly analytical, hands-on leader to join our People team as the Senior Manager of Total Rewards and People Operations. In this role, you’ll own global total rewards, including compensation, equity, benefits, job leveling, and board/compensation committee deliverables while also overseeing the design and execution of key People programs. This is a unique opportunity to blend strategic impact with tactical execution, shaping competitive, scalable frameworks while rolling up your sleeves to get things done in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
