    Default job background
    Description
    DeFi Recruitment has partnered with an algorithmic principal trading firm based in London.

    We are looking for an individual to support their rapidly expanding business in the role of Head of Finance & Operations.

    The Head of Finance & Operations will direct and control all organisational operations in accordance with the Company strategy agreed by the Founders to ensure that organisational goals and objectives are met.
