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 150+ 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. ## ABOUT THE ROLE Aspora is building the next generation of global money movement — spanning fiat, digital assets, and complex cross-border corridors. At the center of this engine sits FX: pricing risk, managing exposure, and ensuring that every transaction is executed efficiently, transparently, and at scale. As the FX or Forex Trader, you will be a core part of Aspora’s currency operations, supporting day-to-day FX execution, exposure tracking, and market monitoring across multiple corridors. This role is designed for someone who wants to build deep, hands-on expertise in how FX markets intersect with real-world payments, liquidity, and treasury operations. You’ll work closely with senior traders and the treasury team to support pricing decisions, monitor market movements, track positions, and ensure clean execution from trade to settlement. Beyond execution support, you’ll contribute to reporting, tooling, and process improvements that help Aspora scale its FX capabilities with discipline and speed. This is a hands-on, market-facing individual contributor role (4–10 years experience) with strong learning exposure and ownership. You’ll sit at the intersection of markets, operations, and technology — where attention to detail, sound judgement, and curiosity about currency dynamics directly shape how Aspora moves money globally ## WHAT YOU’LL OWN - FX Execution Support: Assist in booking and executing daily spot and forward trades. - Exposure Management: Track positions, update exposure reports, and assist in executing derivative strategies and hedging positions. - Market Monitoring: Track currency moves, macro events, and rate shifts across key corridors. - Reporting: Prepare daily trading summaries, rate sheets, and dashboards for internal visibility. - Automation & Tools: Help enhance trade booking and exposure monitoring systems with product/engineering teams. ## WHAT WE NEED - 4-10 years in FX / Trading / Capital Markets, ideally across banks, fintechs, or high-volume cross-border environments. - Hands-on experience with daily FX booking, liquidity positioning, settlements, and fund movements, including T+0/T+1 execution cycles. - Strong grounding in treasury FinOps, reconciliations, cash-flow allocation, and MIS/reporting. - Track record of managing banking and liquidity-provider relationships — negotiating terms, coordinating on operational issues, and ensuring corridor reliability. - Ability to design and operationalise SOPs, controls, reconciliation workflows, and risk frameworks from scratch. - Solid understanding of multi-currency liquidity, cross-border corridors, and emerging instruments like digital assets and stablecoins. Comfortable working with banks, regulators, finance, product, and engineering teams. - Bias for building and automation — you don’t wait for instructions; you design, improve, and scale. - Bonus: exposure to digital FX, on-chain liquidity rails, or DeFi-like primitives. ## WHAT WE NEED - 4+ years of experience in FX Trading / Dealing Room Support. - Solid understanding of FX instruments (spot, forward, swaps) and trade lifecycles. - Proficiency with Bloomberg / Reuters / Treasury systems (or a strong desire to learn). - Comfort with numbers, market volatility, and fast decision-making environments. - Bachelor’s or Master’s in Finance, Economics, or related field. CFA/FRM Level 1 is a plus. ## WHO YOU ARE - You’re curious, analytical, and thrive in fast-moving market environments. - You’re meticulous with details and documentation. - You’re eager to learn from traders, treasury, and risk experts and grow into a market-making role. - You love translating market complexity into clarity and action. WHY JOIN ASPORA? - Step into the heart of global currency operations. - Learn directly from senior treasury and trading professionals. - Work across fiat, digital, and emerging liquidity rails. - Competitive compensation + growth pathways into trading and treasury leadership. ## About Aspora ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Aspora is building a borderless financial operating system for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), enabling cross-border money transfers, savings, bill payments, and investments. - **Entity Type**: Private - **Headquarters**: London, United Kingdom - **Founded**: 2022 - **Founders**: Parth Garg (CEO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Financial Services, Cross-Border Payments, Fintech - **Target customers**: B2C (Non-Resident Indians / Global Indians living in the US, UK, UAE, and EU) - **Mission or purpose statement**: "Building borderless finance for NRIs" — helping global Indians manage money seamlessly while staying connected to the people and places they love. ## Products & Services - **Cross-Border Money Transfers**: Send money to India at "Google Rates" (live mid-market exchange rates) with zero hidden fees. 256-bit encryption and 24/7 support. - **Global Savings Accounts**: Save in global currencies with up to 9% interest. - **Automated EMIs & SIPs**: Automated recurring payments for loans and systematic investment plans. - **Bill Payments**: Stay on top of bills in India from abroad. - **Business Banking (in development)**: A "Founding GTM Specialist (Business Banking)" role is open, indicating an upcoming B2B offering. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed. - **Key Metric**: Over $2 billion securely transferred worldwide; over ₹150 crore saved by users in forex fees. - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not publicly disclosed on the website or LinkedIn.
