About First Digital and Finance District

First Digital is a Hong Kong-headquartered fintech and digital assets group, increasingly focused on the emerging AI and agentic economy. Our businesses include digital asset custody and trust services through First Digital Trust Limited, the FDUSD stablecoin issued by First Digital Labs, and Finance District — our Web3-native financial ecosystem at fd.xyz.

With over $2 trillion in cumulative transaction volume across the broader FDUSD network and integration across six major blockchains, Finance District sits at the intersection of stablecoin infrastructure, AI agents, and the next-generation digital economy.

Role Purpose

The Finance District Lead owns the Finance District vertical end to end. You are the commercial, strategic, and operational leader for the business — accountable for moving Finance District from investment phase to a sustainable profit centre, while building a category-defining brand in agentic payments and the on-chain economy.

You will own the P&L, set the strategy, build the team, represent Finance District publicly, and drive cross-functional execution across product, growth, partnerships, token, and community.
