• Advise sales, trading, and clients on Goldman Sachs’ digital assets product offering
• Drive conversations with clients, develop and execute trading strategies, and cultivate strong relationships
• Drive regional initiatives, advocacy and expansion efforts in EMEA for the Digital Assets team
• Represent the firm in internal forums and external industry conversations
• Work with different arms of the firm in AMERICAS, EMEA and APAC across the private and public side
• Navigate the firm efficiently and interact with sales desks, traders, legal, compliance, and government affairs
• Develop a deep understanding of various digital assets markets and technologies to identify new strategies and opportunity areas

• At least 5-8 years experience in financial services, with sales / trading experience preferred
• Self-starter with an entrepreneurial orientation, high intellectual curiosity and a passion for innovation in financial markets
• Strong understanding of financial products and derivatives
• Strong understanding of Digital Assets market structure
• Strong interpersonal, leadership and communication skills (both written and verbal) are essential
• A high level of accuracy and attention to detail is essential
