Your Core Responsibilities

• You don't just understand law; you understand smart contracts, liquidity pools, and the unique legal challenges of non-custodial investment strategies.

We are a fast-growing decentralized infrastructure provider sitting at the heart of the Web3 evolution. As we transition from a lean engineering-heavy team to a global powerhouse, we need a Chief Operating Officer to build the engine that powers our growth.

Your Core Responsibilities

• Design and implement the operational frameworks required to transition the company through significant growth phases and support a rapidly expanding global team.

• Oversee financial planning, budgeting, and Web3-specific treasury management, balancing fiat and digital asset stability.

• Navigate the complex global regulatory landscape of decentralized infrastructure, managing external counsel to ensure long-term institutional stability.

• Build a world-class HR function that attracts top-tier Web3 talent while maintaining a high-performance, remote-first culture.

• Translate the CEO’s vision into actionable operational roadmaps, ensuring key milestones are met across all non-engineering departments.

Who You Are

• You have a proven track record of leading a startup through high-growth periods and maturing the organizational structure.

• You understand the unique operational and legal hurdles of the decentralized world, from DAO structures to node provider requirements.

• You are comfortable pivoting from high-level financial strategy to granular discussions on international employment law.

• You prioritize automated, scalable workflows over manual processes to ensure efficiency as the company grows.

Requirements

• 7+ years of senior leadership experience (COO, VP Ops, or similar) in a high-growth technology environment.

• Direct experience in the Web3/Crypto industry is highly preferred.

• Proven success in managing diverse functions across Finance, Legal, and HR.
