Tether
Tether Capital is the corporate venture capital and strategic investment platform of Tether. We invest across two primary themes: Finance, including payments, remittances, wallets, exchanges, banking and financial infrastructure; and EVO, encompassing AI, robotics, compute, digital infrastructure and other frontier technologies that we believe will shape the future global economy.
We are seeking a senior investment professional to lead our Fintech investment vertical, with a particular focus on early-stage opportunities. The role is responsible for originating, evaluating, executing and stewarding investments that can deliver both attractive financial returns and strategic value to the broader Tether ecosystem.
This is a senior, full-cycle investing role. You will own transactions end-to-end - from sourcing and investment thesis development through diligence, negotiation, execution, portfolio management and value creation. You will serve as a trusted partner to founders, represent Tether on boards and within portfolio companies, and help shape the evolution of Tether Capital's investment strategy and platform.
Success in this role will be measured not only by investment performance, but also by the strategic outcomes generated for Tether through ecosystem development, commercial partnerships, product adoption and long-term value creation.

Responsibilities
Origination & Sourcing
Contribute to Tether Capital's fintech investment thesis: map the landscape, identify whitespace aligned to Tether's strategic priorities, and translate it into a proactive, thesis-led sourcing agenda.
Establish Tether Capital market position and brand across the global fintech ecosystem through market insight, ecosystem development and proactive engagement with founders, operators and other investors.
Build and convert a proprietary, high-conviction pipeline through your network of founders, operators, advisers, and co-investors - and establish Tether Capital as the partner of choice in competitive fintech rounds.
Represent Tether Capital externally - in the founder community, with co-investors, and at sector forums - building the brand and deal flow that compounds over time.
Diligence & Execution
Lead end-to-end diligence - commercial, financial, technical, and regulatory - directing external counsel and advisers and synthesising findings into a clear investment memorandum.
Structure, price, and negotiate transactions: term sheets, valuations, governance and information rights, pro-rata and reserves - protecting Tether Capital's position while staying founder-friendly.
Build and lead syndicates with top-tier financial and strategic co-investors, and own the relationship through to close.
Author and present investment recommendations to the Investment Committee, owning the case from first conviction to approval.
Strategic Value Creation
Engineer commercial synergies between portfolio companies and Tether's business units - distribution, partnerships, product integration, licences, data, and market access - and make them trackable and quantifiable.
Serve as the strategic interface between portfolio companies and the broader Tether ecosystem, identifying and driving opportunities for commercial collaboration, distribution and long-term value creation.
Discuss your view on market dynamics, emerging trends and threats, and acquisition optionality back into Tether's strategy, corporate development, and M&A agenda.
Portfolio & Governance
Serve as board director or observer on portfolio companies, providing governance, strategic counsel, and hands-on support on hiring, GTM, fundraising, and scaling.
Own portfolio outcomes: lead follow-on decisions, manage dilution and reserves, and drive paths to liquidity (M&A, secondaries, IPO readiness).
Monitor and report portfolio performance and strategic-value realisation to Tether's leadership.
Team & Platform
Mentor and develop junior investment team members, and contribute to Tether Capital's investment process, standards, and culture.
