Head of Digital Marketing – Demand Derivatives

Location: Jersey City, NJ (Hybrid)

Department: Marketing & Communications

Reports to: Chief Executive Officer

About Us

Demand Derivatives seeks to become a transformative force in global financial markets. Problems with legacy exchanges, built on 175-year-old contract designs, have been circumvented or patched for decades. In contrast, Demand Derivatives dismantled that business model and is launching a revolutionary futures exchange, swap execution facility, and clearing house — to list key assets across all major asset classes. Our focus on risk control will achieve exceptional protection for market participants.

The first-of-its-kind product lineup includes: guaranteed-stop futures, delayed-strike daily options, realized-volatility indices, and global country benchmarks. These tradable assets will be available in both U.S. dollar and gold-denominated formats, the latter catering to those who seek stability beyond the present fiat-currency regime. Every contract will offer high leverage, limited-risk, full collateralization, and therefore, default-free, guaranteed payments — achievements unmatched by any of today’s exchanges.

We are seeking a bold, visionary Head of Digital Marketing to join our leadership team of committed industry veterans with a passion for reinvention. You will be the driving force shaping the perception and adoption of our image within the derivatives markets ecosystem.
