Job description

Driving the next generation of wealth. Digital assets are redefining how wealth is created, used, and transferred. Since 2018 at Nexo, we have been building the future model of financial wealth - dynamic, accessible, and designed for a new generation of forward-thinking investors. But technology alone doesn’t drive progress. People do. We are a team of builders, strategists, analysts, creatives, and operators united by a shared mindset: advancement. We move fast, think long term, and take ownership. We challenge ideas, not people. We value clarity over noise and impact over optics. What makes Nexo different? We shape industry trends. We rethink how wealth works and build solutions that reflect that belief. That requires a certain kind of person. You will thrive here when you think independently and act decisively, take ownership without waiting for permission, and care deeply about quality, long-term value, and disciplined execution.
