  • Experience working with C-level executives and product teams at financial institutions.
  • Familiarity with blockchain, Web3, or digital assets is a plus
  • Excellent negotiation, communication, and relationship-building skills.

  • Understanding of regulatory considerations in fintech, TradFi, and crypto (e.g., KYC/AML, stablecoins, compliance frameworks, digital asset custody).
  • Ability to work in a fast-moving startup environment, iterating quickly based on market feedback.
  • Strong analytical mindset – ability to assess financial institutions' needs and align them with Alchemy’s offerings.
