AddressGXE is the end-to-end platform for Investment Funds, Family Offices and Syndicates.
GXE’s mission is to provide digital infrastructure and services for Trustee Services, Custody and Fund Administration. We provide investors, asset and fund managers with the tools they need to succeed and enable them to focus on their portfolios and investors whilst GXE takes care of everything else.
GXE empowers investors, fund managers and family offices with real-time visibility, efficient workflows, licensing, information security, and more.

We are an early-stage startup, and we offer an opportunity to join the team to help shape GXE’s future.
Please note: This role is remote for now; however, we’d expect you to spend time with clients and the team in person when needed, and when we establish an office in the CBD (in the future), we’d require 2-3 days per week in the office.
