ABOUT THE COMPANY
Allan & Gill Gray Philanthropy Rwanda (AGGPR) has embarked on a journey to develop responsible entrepreneurs across the African continent in service of the common good. Our Vision is an empowered, prosperous, productively engaged African citizenry thriving in ethical societies with dignity and hope. Our Mission is to attack poverty by investing in, nurturing, and empowering responsible entrepreneurs and leaders who benefit society by helping to accelerate meaningful employment creation, while embodying the values and behaviours of ethical leadership. Our Values are long-term commitment, spirit of humility and significance, excellence, responsible stewardship, and diversity and inclusion.

Participants are funded and guided through a process of team formation, idea generation, business validation and market entry. The program introduces Jasiri Fellows to equally ambitious co-founders, and supports them on an individual, team and business level through seasoned Facilitators and Coaches.

- Shape portfolio construction with a disciplined approach to sector diversification, balancing concentration risk and ensuring the venture mix aligns with Jasiri Capital's broader risk appetite and investment strategy.
3. Accelerator Partner Management

- Manage Accelerator Partner relationships end-to-end, setting clear performance expectations, reviewing delivery quality, holding partners to account on contract compliance, and ensuring matched ventures consistently receive high-value support.
- Establish and chair structured governance checkpoints (monthly and quarterly reviews) to maintain delivery standards across all partner-led cohorts.
4. Investor Network & Relationship Management
- Build and manage Jasiri's investor network and relationships to connect portfolio ventures with the right sources of follow-on capital.
- Champion Jasiri's distinct dual mandate - commercial discipline alongside measurable impact- ensuring this is clearly understood and valued by investors and partners engaging with the portfolio.
5. Portfolio Oversight & Reporting
- Serve as the primary liaison to the Jasiri Capital Investment Committee for venture review and approvals, accelerator performance reporting, and portfolio escalations.
- Oversee portfolio pipeline health across all active cohorts, ensuring ventures are progressing toward investment readiness and follow-on capital milestones.

Our Global Ops Team ⭐️
At Monzo, our customers should receive great service regardless of where it is delivered. Turning our partner estate direction into successful outcomes requires clear programme design, coordinated delivery and strong ownership across teams and partners.
The
Partner Strategy and Delivery Manager
exists to determine how agreed priorities will be tackled. You will turn a strategic focus area or business outcome into a clear programme approach, define what needs to happen and lead the work through delivery, stabilisation and handover.
Delivery is expected at every level within the pillar. In this role, most of your time will be spent designing how an agreed priority will be tackled and leading the resulting project or programme.
You will contribute evidence and recommendations that can influence future priorities, and you will remain sufficiently close to the detailed delivery to ensure the approach works in practice.
🔑 You’ll play a key role by...
Programme design and definition
Programme strategy & scoping:
Translate strategic objectives into clear, actionable delivery roadmaps—defining scope, workstreams, sequencing, success metrics, and required analytical inputs for complex initiatives.
Integrated planning & governance:
Establish end-to-end plans, milestones, and proportionate governance models to manage dependencies, guide cross-functional inputs, and maintain clear stakeholder visibility.
Agile adaptability & BAU transition:
Design implementation, stabilisation, and handover strategies from kickoff, dynamically adapting programme parameters as business conditions evolve to ensure seamless transition to BAU.
Analysis, recommendations and business cases
Problem structuring & root cause analysis:
Deconstruct ambiguous strategic issues into clear workstreams, synthesising operational data, partner insights, and team findings to isolate systemic estate themes from domain-specific matters.
Holistic solution design:
Evaluate estate-wide processes, services, and locations to build practical, evidence-based options that clearly articulate trade-offs, operational impacts, and strategic pathways forward.
Business case ownership:
Own the development of robust business cases, thoroughly detailing customer value, financial costs, operational benefits, dependencies, risks, and counterfactual impacts.
Product & Tech integration:
Partner with Product and Technology leads to design system and process optimisations that maximise operational efficiency, customer experience, and commercial return.
Executive decision support:
Author high-impact program proposals, decision papers, and leadership presentations to drive clarity and enable informed executive decision-making.
Programme delivery
End-to-end delivery & cross-functional coordination:
Lead complex programmes from kickoff through to realised outcomes, serving as the primary point of contact coordinating workstreams, dependencies, and key decisions across Global Ops, GCOO, and partner organisations.
Partner alignment & hands-on leadership:
Direct partner working sessions to set delivery expectations, maintaining active hands-on involvement in critical path tasks while constructively challenging delays and ownership gaps.
Governance, risk & benefit tracking:
Embed customer, risk, regulatory, and resilience standards throughout programme design, continuously tracking performance against target metrics and adjusting execution to guarantee benefit realisation.
Stabilisation, BAU transfer & post-implementation review:
Oversee implementation and stabilisation through to formal BAU handover—ensuring documented ownership and metrics—and conduct post-delivery reviews to capture strategic learnings for future initiatives.
Team and portfolio contribution
Matrix leadership & coaching:
Guide more junior colleagues across program workstreams, providing clear strategic context, quality assurance, and constructive coaching while empowering autonomous delivery.
Pillar standards & strategic insight:
Share emerging risks, dependencies, and themes with the Strategy Lead while contributing to consistent, pillar-wide governance, business case, and benefit-tracking frameworks.
Cross-operational execution & mobility:
Lead ad-hoc cross-functional initiatives across teams and partners, traveling periodically across UK and international locations to support discovery, sourcing, mobilisation, and stabilisation.
🤩 We’d love to hear from you if…
Significant experience designing and delivering complex projects or programmes across multiple teams, stakeholders and external partners.
Essential experience working with outsourced operations, suppliers or third party partners.
Ability to travel within the UK and internationally when required.
We currently have sites in India, Romania and South Africa, with plans underway for the EU.
Proven ability to take an agreed strategic priority or ambiguous problem and turn it into a clear programme approach and route to delivery.
Strong programme design and delivery skills, including scope definition, workstream design, planning, governance, risk management, dependency management, success measures and handover.
Experience setting meaningful programme outcomes, measures and expected benefits and monitoring delivery against them.
Strong analytical and problem solving skills, with the ability to bring together quantitative and qualitative evidence and turn it into a clear recommendation.
Experience developing or owning high quality business cases, proposals and decision materials.
Sound commercial and operational judgement, with the ability to balance customer outcomes, quality, risk, resilience, flexibility, cost and long term value.
Proven ability to influence leaders, operational teams and external partners across organisational boundaries.
Strong stakeholder leadership skills, with the ability to create clarity, resolve ambiguity and maintain momentum across a complex programme.
Confidence leading partner conversations and constructively challenging missed commitments or weak outcomes.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to structure complex information into clear proposals, papers and presentations.
The ability to coordinate and challenge the work of others while coaching and supporting less experienced colleagues.
Strong organisation and prioritisation skills, with the ability to manage changing priorities and several dependencies without losing focus on the intended outcome.
Experience working in a regulated or customer sensitive environment, with sound judgement on customer impact, governance and control.
A collaborative and challenging approach, with the confidence to question assumptions, address difficult issues and bring stakeholders together around a clear outcome.
Experience within financial services, global operations, partner estate planning, mobilisation, transition or Product and Technology enabled operational change
would be particularly valuable.

BUILDING THE FUTURE OF OPEN FINANCE
Payward - the parent company behind Kraken, NinjaTrader, Breakout, xStocks, Payward Services and CF Benchmarks - has spent the last 15 years building one of the most modern and globally accessible financial infrastructure platforms in the industry, built to advance an open, global financial system.
THE TEAM
Founded in 2011, Kraken is one of the world's longest-standing crypto platforms, trusted by over 10 million individuals and institutions across the globe. It offers spot trading, margin, futures, staking, and OTC services, with products built for both individual investors and institutional clients.
As Director, US Operations, you will lead operations for Payward’s US equities business: our registered broker-dealer, Kraken Securities LLC, and the operations behind traditional stocks as well as xStocks, our tokenized equities product. You will own the trade operating model, the end-to-end order and settlement flow, cash flows, corporate actions, reconciliations, and regulatory readiness across the business.
This is a hands-on leadership role in a regulated entity. You will be a registered principal of Kraken Securities LLC, named on Form BD, and accountable for the operational side of the firm’s regulatory obligations. It extends well beyond day-to-day management and requires genuine fluency in both traditional market plumbing and the operational realities of a digital-asset business.
You will stay close to company strategy and cross-functional initiatives so the global executive team’s goals translate into clear operating priorities. As a trusted partner, you will work across Compliance, Legal, Finance, Product, Engineering, and Marketing to drive key initiatives forward, and build the team that scales the business as the firm grows.
The opportunity
- Own the end-to-end order flow for US equities, from inception through clearing and settlement, including reconciliation, corporate actions, and exception management
- Own xStocks operations: token issuance and redemption, inventory and liquidity management, movement of client and firm assets, and settlement across exchange, custodian, and on-chain venues
- Serve as a named principal of Kraken Securities LLC and act as an operational control point — including dual-approval (“four eyes”) sign-off on transactions and asset movements, with coverage across time zones
- Design and implement the operating model for Kraken Securities and xStocks, aligned to strategic goals
- Build and run the operating systems for the business — policies, written supervisory procedures, controls, books and records, business continuity, and KPIs — and translate C-suite goals into clear targets for each business unit
- Own launch readiness for new products and markets: prepare systems, policies and procedures, and test them end to end with our clearing firm, custodians, exchange partners and R&D teams to ensure compliance with US regulations
- Partner with Finance on financial controls around bank payments, customer funds and reserve requirements
- Ensure desk coverage and settlement/ reconciliation controls and man power in place to support 24X5 and transitioning to 24x7
- Own vendor and partner operations — clearing, custody, market data, liquidity providers and technology vendors — including onboarding, SLAs and ongoing oversight
- Own severity-1 operational escalation and incident response for the US entities, including root-cause review and remediation
- Set performance targets, monitor progress, and report KPIs and costs transparently to leadership
- Hire and develop a high-performing operations team, build the licensing bench and succession plan, and build the organizational structure to scale
- Partner with functional leaders across Marketing, Compliance, Product, Engineering, and Operations to keep initiatives aligned and moving
- Contribute to strategy and growth planning to help build a sustainable business
- Support functions such as HR and IT in building procedures that link to corporate strategy
What you bring
- 12+ years of experience in brokerage or fintech operations, and/or at an operations consulting firm, including time inside a FINRA-registered broker-dealer
- Experience in crypto, brokerage, advisory, fintech, or another highly regulated industry
- In-depth knowledge of traditional financial markets — execution, clearing, settlement, custody, margin, securities lending, and corporate actions
- Working understanding of digital assets and tokenized securities, including custody models, on-chain settlement, and the operational controls they demand
- Direct experience operating under SEC and FINRA rules — books and records, supervisory procedures, trade reporting, and examination response
- Experience standing up or scaling operations for a new regulated product or entity, including launch readiness and regulatory approval processes
- A proven record of defining structured approaches to solve complex challenges
- End-to-end understanding of company value drivers and a strong working understanding of business analytics
- Experience hiring, managing, and developing operations teams
- Exceptional judgment and the executive presence to work comfortably with C-suite leaders, regulators, and external partners
- Required at hire, or within an agreed window from start date: FINRA Series 7 (General Securities Representative), Series 99 (Operations Professional) and Series 24 (General Securities Principal)
- Preferred: Series 27 or 28 (Financial and Operations Principal)
- Also valued: Series 57 (Securities Trader) and Series 4 (options principal), or willingness to obtain them — these strengthen our principal coverage across trading and options
- Must be eligible for registration and disclosure on Form BD, and comfortable carrying named-principal responsibility in a regulated entity
- Series 63 / 65 / 66 as required by state registration
Unless a specific application deadline is stated in the job posting, applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.
