Velocity
Stablecoin treasury and settlement platform
Velocity is revolutionising the global financial landscape by unifying fiat and digital assets through regulated stablecoin technology. We are tackling some of the most significant inefficiencies in global payments, from the limitations of SWIFT to the cost and delays of cross-border transactions.
Founded by Eric Queathem, with decades of experience scaling and leading payments businesses, Velocity combines deep expertise in regulated financial systems with a fast-growing team across London, Warsaw, New York and Melbourne.
Our platform enables businesses to manage payments, treasury functions, and liquidity in real time, operating 24/7/365. We remove friction in global payouts, cross-border settlements, and treasury operations, seamlessly integrating stablecoin-powered speed with the reliability of traditional finance.
Backed by robust partnerships, including strategic collaborations with Fireblocks and other leading technology providers, we are building trusted infrastructure for scalable global growth.
We recently announced a $38m Series A led by Dragonfly and FirstMark, with participation from QED, Capital One Ventures, Ripple and Coinbase Ventures.
This is a senior, quota-carrying role owning Velocity's largest and most complex opportunities in North America, and one of our early commercial hires in the US.
You will sell regulated stablecoin payment infrastructure into financial institutions, large PSPs and acquirers, global marketplaces, and scaled fintechs. Deals are multi-threaded, multi-quarter, and involve treasury, payments, product, risk, and compliance stakeholders on the other side of the table.
Beyond your own number, you will help set how we sell here: sharpening positioning and pricing for the US market, building the playbook the rest of the team will run, and acting as a senior commercial face for Velocity.
Own a revenue quota against a portfolio of strategic and enterprise accounts, and be accountable for pipeline generation, progression, and closed business.
Source and build your own pipeline through outbound, network, events, and inbound follow-up, with the seniority to open doors at CFO, Treasurer, and Head of Payments level.
Run complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles end to end: discovery, solution design, commercial and legal negotiation, and close, typically spanning several quarters and multiple decision-makers.
Structure and negotiate commercially significant agreements, including pricing, liquidity, and settlement terms, in partnership with Finance and Legal.
Shape Velocity's US go-to-market: refine segmentation, messaging, and pricing based on what you learn in market, and build the repeatable playbook for the team behind you.
Act as a force multiplier for the wider commercial team, setting the standard on deal strategy and supporting more junior sellers on complex opportunities.
Work closely with Product and Engineering to translate enterprise requirements into feasible solutions, and carry the weight to influence roadmap prioritisation.
Partner with Compliance and Legal to navigate onboarding, jurisdictional requirements, and contracting in a regulated environment.
Represent Velocity at senior level at industry conferences and events across the region.
6-10+ years' experience in enterprise sales, business development, or partnerships, the majority of it in a quota-carrying closing role.
Deep payments, fintech, or financial infrastructure experience, with a sophisticated understanding of how money moves cross-border and where cost, float, and friction sit.
A demonstrable track record of consistently hitting or exceeding quota on complex enterprise deals, and the numbers to back it up.
Experience closing large, multi-stakeholder deals with financial institutions, PSPs, acquirers, marketplaces, or scaled fintechs, including navigating procurement, risk, and compliance review.
Genuine hunting ability: comfortable building pipeline from a standing start rather than working an existing book.
A strong, established network across the US payments or fintech ecosystem that you can activate from day one.
Experience selling technical or API-based products to business and institutional buyers, with the credibility to hold a conversation with both a treasurer and an engineer.
Experience operating in a regulated environment, and the judgement to sell honestly within it.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the commercial judgement to know which deals are worth chasing and which are not.
Comfortable working across time zones with a team concentrated in London and Warsaw, and self-directed enough to operate without a large local office around you.
Exposure to stablecoins or digital assets is an advantage, but deep payments experience matters more than prior crypto experience.
Nice to have
Deep experience in one or more of the verticals we sell into:
Issuing: issuer-processors, BIN sponsors, and card programme managers, and the funding and settlement mechanics that sit behind a card programme.
Acquiring: merchant acquirers, payment facilitators, and ISOs, and where scheme settlement timing, prefunding, and merchant payout cycles tie up working capital.
Cross-border and remittance: money transfer operators and remittance providers, correspondent banking relationships, and the cost of holding pre-funded balances across corridors.
Banks and EMIs: treasury, liquidity, and nostro management inside a regulated balance sheet.

Mission-driven environment with purpose: At Velocity, we prioritize security and user empowerment, ensuring our solutions are built with integrity and designed to make a difference.

Shared ownership: Everyone owns a share of the company. One of our values is to act like an owner, and we back that up with real ownership in the business.
Offices: We're a dispersed team but one that likes spending time together. We have offices in London and New York, and we aim to work together in person as much as possible. We also believe in working with the best talent wherever it is in the world.
Equipment: It is important to have the best tools for the job. We will provide you with a MacBook and will update them regularly. We use all the best modern tools, and if you find an even more efficient way of doing something, we'll adopt it.
Health and wellbeing: Paid sick leave, plus medical and dental coverage.
Retirement: 401(k) provision and employer match
Velocity is a London fintech that builds stablecoin treasury and settlement infrastructure for banks, processors, card issuers, acquirers and merchants. It enables the use of regulated stablecoins for 24/7 settlement, liquidity management and treasury operations without requiring changes to existing banking or ERP systems. The platform combines stablecoin rails with local banking, compliance, custody and settlement orchestration, targeting CFOs and treasury teams. Unlike many competitors, Velocity focuses on integrating regulated stablecoins into traditional finance rails rather than replacing existing systems, offering end-to-end custody, compliance and settlement across the cash and crypto workflows. Its goal is to widen access to steady-value digital payments by providing continuous settlement and treasury tooling for institutions and merchants via regulated stablecoins.
