Treasury & Trading Manager

People on the move deserve a bank that moves with them. Since 2022, Aspora has been building a borderless financial operating system that makes money as mobile and transparent as its users.

Backed by influential venture capitalists like Sequoia Capital, Greylock Partners, Hummingbird Ventures, Y Combinator & Global Founders Capital. We're a team of 75+ across India, the UK, the UAE, EU and the US, working with extreme ownership, radical candour, and an obsession with customer impact.

We celebrate builders who question assumptions, ship fast, and turn regulatory complexity into elegant solutions. If you're driven to redefine what global banking can be, we'd love to build the future with you.

Aspora is building the next generation of global money movement - across fiat, digital assets, and complex cross-border corridors. At the center of this engine sits Treasury and FX: deciding where capital sits, how fast it moves, what it costs, and how risk is managed at scale.

As the Treasury & FX Trading Lead, you will own the end-to-end flow of money across Aspora's ecosystem - from collections and prefunding to FX execution, settlement, and liquidity optimization across currencies and corridors.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role. You will actively execute FX, manage real-time liquidity, design exposure frameworks, and build the operating backbone that keeps Aspora capital efficient, resilient, and settlement reliable under pressure.

You'll work closely with founders, product, engineering, finance, and external banking and liquidity partners to ensure Aspora can scale volumes without scaling trapped cash, operational risk, or FX leakage.

This role blends market judgement, balance sheet thinking, and operational excellence - and is ideal for someone who has lived through T+0 pressure, understands corridor economics deeply, and wants to build a world class treasury engine from the ground up.
