1. About the Opportunity ✍️

We are looking for a Lead, Strategy & Corporate Development to work closely with our SVP, Strategy and Investments Development and help drive some of MoonPay’s highest-priority strategic initiatives.

This is a high-impact, highly cross-functional role at the intersection of strategy, business operations, and corporate development. You will act as a force multiplier for the SVP, helping translate strategic priorities into clear plans, driving complex initiatives forward, and ensuring alignment and accountability across teams.

You’ll work across a broad range of topics, from supporting strategic transactions and partnerships to improving operating cadence and tackling high-priority projects that don’t sit neatly within a single team. The ideal candidate combines strong strategic judgment with an operator mindset: someone who can move seamlessly from structuring an ambiguous problem to getting into the details required to deliver an outcome.

2. What you will do

Partner closely with the SVP of Strategy & Investments to translate strategic priorities into clear plans, workstreams, milestones, and measurable outcomes.

Lead high-priority strategic and cross-functional initiatives from definition through execution, bringing structure and momentum to complex or ambiguous problems.

Support corporate development priorities, including strategic transactions, partnerships, investments, and other opportunities that accelerate MoonPay’s growth.

Drive alignment across senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams, identifying dependencies, resolving blockers, and ensuring critical decisions and actions move forward.

Build and continuously improve operating cadences, including prioritisation, planning, decision-making processes, and tracking against key objectives.

Develop high-quality strategic analysis and materials that synthesize complex information, surface key trade-offs, and enable senior leadership to make informed decisions.

3. About You

You spent 4-5+ years in investment banking, ideally in a TMT or FIG coverage group, and have hands-on experience executing an IPO — you can speak to which specific transaction(s) you ran or supported.

You are an exceptional operator who can take ambiguous, complex problems, create structure, establish priorities, and drive work through to measurable outcomes.

You have strong commercial and strategic judgment, with the ability to analyze opportunities, understand trade-offs, and connect individual initiatives to broader company objectives.

You have experience influencing senior stakeholders and coordinating complex work across multiple functions without relying on formal authority.

You thrive in fast-moving, high-accountability environments and are equally comfortable developing a strategic recommendation, diving into the details, and ensuring execution happens.

• Prior exposure to fintech or crypto is a big plus, but not required - the banking/IPO pedigree is the priority.
