The job description notes that the right candidate will have "an avid interest in all things digital, a proven track record in finance and innovation and with a deep knowledge of Jersey financial services market."

The position will include travel to speak at conferences and events in a bid to raise Jersey's profile as a FinTech jurisdiction.

The recruitment drive comes as Jersey's government plans a £4million cash boost for Digital Jersey over the next four years to help attract more start-up businesses, create new jobs, subject to approval of the Government Plan.

However, Digital Jersey's CEO Tony Moretta said it might not be enough to reach all the organisation's ambitions.
