Role
Who you are
- We are seeking a crypto-literate, detail-obsessed, and process-driven DDQ & RFI Principal to join Gemini’s Institutional team
- 8-10+ years of experience in RFP/RFI or DDQ ownership roles, ideally within fintech, crypto, traditional financial services, or enterprise software
- Strong understanding of institutional due diligence processes, particularly across custody, trading infrastructure, information security, and compliance
- Proven ability to coordinate complex input across multiple functions and synthesize that into cohesive, client-facing materials
- Exceptional attention to detail and written communication skills; able to edit technical and legal content to ensure clarity and consistency
- Familiarity with regulatory standards relevant to crypto, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, NYDFS, SEC custody rules, and AML/KYC frameworks
- Demonstrated experience evaluating and implementing RFP automation or content management platforms
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, startup-style environment and take proactive ownership of strategic responsibilities
What the job involves
- In Business Development we build relationships, are on the front lines of all critical customer service issues, and help manage the customer lifecycle through pivotal stages in their Gemini journey
- Whether it’s identifying new key Web3 clients or servicing a retail customer’s needs, our goal is the same: deliver for our customers no matter what
- In this role, you will own and operate the complete Due Diligence Questionnaire (DDQ) and, Request for Information (RFI)
- You will be the firm’s front-line resource in ensuring Gemini delivers high-quality, trusted, and timely responses to institutional prospects evaluating our products and services
- This role sits at the center of the Institutional business and will have deep touch-points across Gemini's rapidly growing product suite, including custody, staking, spot and derivatives trading, clearing, and OTC markets
- You will also lead the implementation of new tooling and process infrastructure for managing due diligence at scale — with potential adoption across Gemini’s broader commercial and operational teams in a global team
- Own the end-to-end DDQ, RFI, and onboarding questionnaire process for all institutional prospects, acting as the central coordination point across internal teams
- Collaborate closely with Sales, Legal, Compliance, InfoSec, Risk, Product, Engineering, and Treasury to deliver tailored, accurate, and compliant responses to prospect requests
- Design and install a scalable, searchable DDQ/RFI knowledge base and tooling stack, such as Loopio, RFP360, or equivalent — with cross-team applicability across Gemini
- Build and maintain a centralized content library of approved answers, documentation, and technical details, ensuring the most current and accurate information is used in all responses
- Translate complex security, regulatory, and technical topics into clear, accurate, and institutionally appropriate language
- Support sales cycles by aligning DDQ/RFI submissions with broader sales strategy and highlighting Gemini’s strengths as a secure and compliant digital asset platform
- Identify and drive process improvements to reduce turnaround time, minimize repetition, and improve response quality
- Track metrics and insights across responses to inform product feedback loops, investor conversations, and market positioning
Our take
Gemini is a cryptocurrency exchange platform that's known for offering excellent security as well as being available across the US, including New York - a state not often covered by crypto exchanges.
As a trading platform, Gemini is one of many, but a dedication to innovation and a commitment to working within FCA regulations are what make it stand out from the crowd. After acquiring Blockrize in 2021, the company launched a credit card for US customers that enables them to earn a small percentage of spending back in bitcoin rewards. It also launched the Gemini dollar, a 1:1 USD-backed stablecoin, that combines the price stability of the US dollar with the technological advantages of a cryptocurrency.
The crypto exchange market is crowded with exchange platforms, and Gemini's competitors include giants like Coinbase. However, by operating within regulations and maintaining its status as a registered digital asset service provider in Europe (with plans to expand further in the region very soon), Gemini is in a strong position to face the continued crackdown on unauthorized activity in this market and make a space for itself in the DeFi future.
