Remote Web3 Trading Jobs in Illinois

Crypto.com is one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency and financial services platforms, founded in 2016 and serving customers across the globe. In the United States, Crypto.com operates a fully regulated derivatives business through Crypto.com | Derivatives North America (formerly the North American Derivatives Exchange, or Nadex) — a U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)-regulated Designated Contract Market and Derivatives Clearing Organization headquartered in Chicago — together with its affiliated Futures Commission Merchant (FCM), Foris DAX FCM LLC.

This structure gives Crypto.com control over the full U.S. futures stack — exchange, clearing house, and broker — a regulated footprint that is rare among crypto-native firms. It places the business at the forefront of prediction markets: one of the fastest-growing and most closely watched categories in finance today, where customers trade on the outcomes of real-world events across economics, politics, sports, and culture. Customer interest and trading volumes in this space have surged, and Crypto.com is investing heavily to scale its regulated prediction-markets and derivatives business. The Treasury function sits right at the center of that growth — safeguarding customer funds and ensuring the liquidity that keeps these markets running.

Role Overview

Reporting to the Director of Finance and Accounting – Americas, the U.S. Treasurer leads the treasury function for Crypto.com’s U.S. and Canadian derivatives and prediction-markets entities, including the Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) and Nadex. Leading a team of four, the Treasurer owns cash and liquidity management, payments and settlement, banking relationships, custody operations, and treasury controls across multiple legal entities. This is a hands-on leadership role with a clear mandate to modernize the function through process automation and artificial intelligence (AI), operating in a highly regulated, deadline-driven environment where the continuous protection of customer funds and the sufficiency of liquidity are paramount. As one of the fastest-growing businesses in the industry, this is a rare opportunity to build and scale the treasury operations behind a rapidly expanding prediction-markets franchise.

Leadership & Team Management

• Lead, develop, and retain a high-performing U.S. Treasury team of four — setting clear goals, coaching team members, and holding the team to high standards of accuracy and accountability.
• Set clear, measurable expectations and hold team members accountable through performance scorecards — an accountability standard this role both champions and is measured against.
• Drive team performance and build bench strength, ensuring robust backup coverage across all critical treasury functions.
• Serve as a strategic treasury partner to senior business, Product, Trading, and Technology leadership.
• Coordinate with global treasury counterparts on shared priorities, deadlines, and upcoming product launches.

Treasury, Cash & Liquidity Management

• Own daily cash position monitoring across multiple legal entities, tracking balances, liquidity levels, capital requirements, and funding obligations.
• Direct daily treasury funding transfers, ensuring timely execution, confirmed settlement, accurate tracking, and prompt escalation of issues.
• Maintain sufficient liquidity to meet all customer and operational obligations at all times.
• Oversee daily reconciliations across trading systems and bank accounts, ensuring reconciling items, breaks, and exceptions are investigated and resolved promptly.
• Design and adjust flow-of-funds for new products, accounts, and banking arrangements, partnering closely with Product and Technology teams.

Banking Relationships, Settlement & Custody

• Review and approve daily payments, wires, and vendor (accounts payable) disbursements across entities.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for banking partners, and manage bank account opening and closure for U.S. and Canadian entities.
• Administer banking and payment-portal access — entitlements, approval limits and authorities, multi-factor authentication (MFA), periodic access reviews, and segregation of duties.
• Oversee vault operations and custody settlement, including financial operations for trust and custody services (user administration, transaction policies, and token management) and review and approval of related invoices.
• Manage bank-partner due-diligence requests and cross-border foreign exchange (FX) settlement.
• Actively manage and drive down treasury-related costs — including bank account analysis fees — while optimizing interest income and earnings credit rate (ECR) across banking relationships.
• Respond to operational disruptions (e.g., exchange outages) that affect settlement, coordinating across Technology and third-party partners.

Process Automation & AI

• Champion the use of process automation and artificial intelligence (AI) to modernize treasury operations and improve efficiency, accuracy, controls, and scalability.
• Maintain and expand existing automations, including end-of-day reconciliation and reporting send-outs, transaction review and approval tracking, and daily balance reporting by entity.
• Define and execute the treasury automation roadmap, prioritizing high-impact opportunities across cash, settlement, reconciliation, and reporting.

Regulatory, Audit & Compliance (Critical)

This is a deadline-driven function with strict, recurring timelines for regulatory reporting. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Ensure ongoing compliance with customer-funds protection requirements and applicable National Futures Association (NFA) and CFTC obligations, including customer segregated funds (CFTC 1.20, 30.7, 22.2) and residual interest.
• Support regulatory reporting, regulatory examinations, and internal and external audit requests across the FCM, Nadex, and related entities.
• Manage state unclaimed-property reporting and other statutory compliance obligations.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
• 8+ years of progressive treasury, finance, or financial-operations experience, including at least 2–3 years leading and managing teams.
• Proven people-leadership skills, with a track record of building and driving high-performing teams.
• Experience holding team members accountable to performance scorecards or similar structured, metrics-based performance frameworks.
• Hands-on expertise applying process automation and artificial intelligence (AI) to finance or treasury workflows.
• Demonstrated experience driving down treasury-related costs, including reducing bank account analysis fees and improving interest income and earnings credit rate (ECR).
• Strong cash management, liquidity, and funding experience, ideally across multiple legal entities.
• Experience overseeing payments and settlement operations and reconciliation controls.
• Experience managing banking relationships and bank-account administration.
• Experience operating in a regulated financial services environment (e.g., exchange, broker, crypto entity, futures commission merchant, or bank).
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy.
• Demonstrated strong communication skills, with the ability to partner across functions and with senior stakeholders.
• Comfortable working to strict, recurring deadlines, particularly for time-sensitive regulatory reporting.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience at a Financial Institution, Futures Commission Merchant, Designated Contract Market, clearing house, or derivatives clearing organization.
• Working knowledge of customer segregation rules (CFTC 1.20, 30.7, 22.2) and residual interest requirements.
• Certified Treasury Professional (CTP), Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), or Certified Public Accountant (CPA) designation.
• Demonstrated success scaling automation and artificial intelligence (AI) within a finance or treasury function.
• Experience with multi-entity and cross-border (U.S. and Canada) treasury operations.
• Exposure to digital assets, custody operations, crypto markets, or prediction markets.
