The Opportunity
An exciting opportunity has arisen to help lead the development of Bank of America’s Digital Asset Transformation capability within the International and Global Enterprise Strategy & Platform groups.
Digital assets are reshaping financial markets, payments, custody, settlement, collateral, and client solutions. As the ecosystem develops beyond cryptocurrency into broader financial market infrastructure, the firm is strengthening its capability to identify and prioritise commercial opportunities, respond to regulatory developments, and deliver scalable business outcomes.
We are seeking a commercially-minded Digital Asset Transformation Managing Director to shape the firm’s digital asset agenda and lead strategic initiatives within a global regulated banking environment. The role will identify and prioritise opportunities across tokenisation, digital securities, stablecoins, digital collateral, custody, settlement, and market infrastructure, translating them into clear investment recommendations, business cases, governance frameworks, operating models, and implementation strategies.
This is a senior leadership role extending beyond traditional programme management. The successful candidate will bring deep digital asset expertise, strong commercial and strategic judgement, a practical understanding of distributed ledger technology, and the ability to influence investment and execution decisions across a complex global organisation. The role also offers opportunities to apply this expertise across broader enterprise-wide and international initiatives.
Acting as a trusted adviser to senior business leadership, the Managing Director will set strategic direction and lead initiatives from opportunity assessment through governance, approval, and help coordinate enterprise execution. They will build alignment across business, product, technology, operations, legal, compliance, risk, finance, and regulatory affairs to determine where the firm should invest, establish scalable approaches, and deliver measurable business outcomes.
