Sales Director

p(X) provides aggregated, institutional-grade digital asset liquidity through a curated network of global trading venues. In today's highly fragmented market, counterparties that trade directly with p(X) gain access to deep, diversified liquidity while simplifying execution and settlement. This eliminates the operational burden of establishing and maintaining separate relationships with multiple liquidity providers while at the same time allowing for superior execution quality. p(X) operates as an independent business unit, separate from the Talos Platform business, governed by its own AML, compliance, risk management, and operational frameworks designed to meet the requirements of a regulated trading and liquidity provisioning business. As a distinct legal entity, p(X) maintains its own balance sheet, counterparty onboarding processes, governance structure, and Board of Directors. While p(X) leverages certain shared corporate services — including Legal, Compliance, Finance, and Information Security — it operates independently from Talos, with its own management and staff, in all core commercial and operational activities.
