What we’re looking for

Why join

Metal is building an ambitious technology company across Melbourne and San Francisco, with the pace, backing and global aspirations of a leading Silicon Valley startup. Our mission is to help reshape how money moves around the world, and we are assembling an exceptional team to pursue it.

This is a rare opportunity to join at an early and formative stage while the company is growing rapidly. Working directly with the CEO, you will gain a front-row seat to fundraising, strategy, recruitment, partnerships, operations and the day-to-day realities of building a global company.

Compensation: AUD 10,000 per month.
