We are building institutions, which means the work outlasts the people who do it.
The Exchange runs clearing, custody, surveillance and settlement across corridors that did not have them. That work is operational before it is strategic: sessions open on time or they do not, margin is called or it is not, a certificate is signed or a consignment waits.
People join us from central banks, exchanges, clearing houses, mining operations, audit and engineering. What they have in common is a tolerance for being precisely accountable, and an interest in problems that take years.

How We Work
Operations first
Everyone, including the executive, spends time on the operating floor. You cannot write a rule you have never had to apply at 06:00 on a session that is already running late.
Decisions are written down
Rulebook changes, admission decisions and incident findings are documented and attributed. It makes the institution auditable, and it makes it possible to disagree with a decision on the record rather than in a corridor.
Close to the market
Our offices sit near the corridors we operate, not only in financial capitals. Colleagues in Accra, Kigali, Lubumbashi and Dar es Salaam are the ones the market speaks to first, and they carry real authority.
Slow hiring, long tenure
We hire against a written role definition and a defined bar, and we take longer than most to do it. In exchange we invest heavily in people once they are here, and we promote from inside wherever the capability exists.
What We Offer
Ownership of a real surface
Roles are scoped to something that exists — a corridor, a contract, a panel, a control. You will be the person the Exchange asks about it.
Structured development
Every colleague has a development plan reviewed twice a year, funded study leave for accredited qualifications, and a named sponsor outside their reporting line.
Terms that reflect the work
Competitive local-market compensation, medical cover for colleagues and dependants, retirement contributions, and paid leave that people are expected to take.
Working Across the Continent
Where roles are based
Roles are based in the office nearest the work. Corridor and custody roles sit at origin; clearing, risk and surveillance roles sit at the operating centres; technology and data roles are distributed with a required overlap with corridor sessions.
Mobility
Colleagues who have completed eighteen months in role may apply for cross-office assignments of six to twenty-four months. Assignments are posted internally before they are posted anywhere else.
Language
The Exchange operates in English, French and Portuguese. Language study is funded for colleagues whose corridors require a language they do not yet work in.
