Global Financial Operations Platform Director

As Director of the Global Financial Operations Platform at OKX, you will define and deliver the architecture that connects our trading, payment, banking, custody, blockchain, wallet and finance systems. This is a senior, hands-on platform leadership role where you establish trusted books and records, automate settlement and reconciliation, create effective exception workflows, and equip Operations and Finance with the tools to maintain accurate client and corporate asset records on a daily and near-real-time basis. You own platform capability and delivery, while Client Asset Operations and Finance retain responsibility for executing, reviewing and signing off the underlying operational and accounting controls.

What you'll do

• Define product strategy and multi-year roadmap for the financial operations platform, establishing the target vision, operating principles and end-to-end funds and asset flows across deposits, withdrawals, trades, fees, transfers, financing, staking and other products
• Own the canonical transaction and financial-event model across fiat and digital assets, ensuring clear lineage from the originating operational event through the subledger and financial reporting environment
• Own client and corporate asset subledgers, balances, positions, journals and transaction histories, managing reversals, corrections, fees, foreign exchange, internal transfers, failed transactions, duplicated events and delayed events
• Own settlement and asset-movement workflows across banks, payment providers, custodians, wallets, blockchains and trading venues, including cut-offs, confirmations, status management, retries and failure handling
• Own multi-way transaction- and balance-level reconciliation across operational sources, internal records and the finance system, building automated matching rules, tolerances, materiality levels and escalation thresholds
• Own exception management, operational dashboards, control evidence, audit trails and management reporting, building operator interfaces that support investigation and resolution without routine dependence on engineering queries or spreadsheets
• Lead build-versus-buy assessments, strategic vendor selection, data migration, parallel runs and legacy-process retirement
• Lead discovery, requirements definition, prioritization, testing, rollout and post-launch improvement, writing clear product requirements, workflow diagrams, data definitions, control requirements and acceptance criteria
• Coordinate operational readiness across Product, Engineering, Operations, Finance, Treasury, Custody, Risk and Compliance, and communicate roadmap priorities, risks, dependencies and measurable outcomes to senior management
• Partner with Architecture and Engineering to define scalable services, APIs, event schemas, data contracts, system boundaries and resilience requirements
• Work with Finance to maintain controlled alignment between operational books and records and the ERP or general ledger

What you bring

• Eight or more years in fintech, financial services, digital assets, brokerage, custody, payments or capital-markets technology
• Five or more years of product management, platform leadership, technical program leadership or comparable engineering experience
• Demonstrated delivery of a ledger, reconciliation platform, settlement system, payments infrastructure, brokerage books-and-records platform or digital asset back office
• Strong understanding of transaction lifecycles, balances, positions, journal entries, reconciliation and financial controls
• Technical fluency with APIs, event-driven systems, data schemas, batch and streaming pipelines, integrations, idempotency and failure handling
• Ability to work directly with transaction-level data; practical SQL proficiency is strongly preferred
• Track record of delivering mission-critical systems in regulated or control-intensive environments
• Strong written communication, structured problem-solving and senior stakeholder-management skills

Nice to have

• Experience with both fiat and digital asset transaction flows
• Knowledge of blockchain transactions, wallets, custodians and on-chain settlement
• Experience integrating with ERP systems such as Oracle, SAP, NetSuite or Microsoft Dynamics
• Familiarity with client asset segregation, safeguarding, books and records or comparable regulatory requirements
• Experience with high-volume, continuously operating financial platforms
• Knowledge of double-entry accounting and financial-close processes
• Experience replacing manual reconciliation with automated platform capabilities
• Experience assessing or implementing platforms such as Crypto or comparable ledger, reconciliation and digital asset accounting solutions
