Job Description

About the Company

We are building the rails to bring Wall Street into the 21st century. Backed by $40M from leading crypto and fintech investors, we are bringing together the best minds from Ethereum and Wall Street to rebuild the infrastructure that underpins the financial system — faster, safer, fully on-chain.

About the Role

Are you the person who can't sit in a room full of loose ideas and half-made decisions without walking out owning the plan? We're looking for a Chief of Staff to turn client and market context into product decisions, plans, and commitments across Product & Engineering.

Our Chief of Staff will sit at the centre of it all, working with our CTO to turn a sea of client and market context into detailed product decisions, launch plans, and company commitments. The right person in this role will evolve into a pseudo-founder, working across every facet of the organisation.

Key Responsibilities

- Be the right hand to our CTO across every room they're in — absorbing critical context, brainstorming decisions together, and taking the lead on turning those decisions into direct action plans

- Turn the roadmap into an operating rhythm: break initiatives into workstreams, milestones, and owners; track the critical path across engineering, product, design, and all specialist functions (security, privacy, legal, BD, marketing)

- Own how the team uses its project management tooling

- Take point on the ambiguous stuff — scope and drive high-priority needs that don't belong to anyone yet, with research, synthesis, and sharp first-pass thinking on new areas

Requirements

- A high-agency operator with real reps running the engine of a fast-moving team — as a Chief of Staff, Operations Leader, Founder's Associate, or de facto COO of a startup. You don't just capture someone else's plan, you absorb enough context to make the plan yourself.

- Program and project management in your bones: you've turned strategy into executable plans, milestones, and owners before

- High-EQ connective tissue: you read clients, markets, and rooms on instinct. You catch what goes unsaid in a client meeting and hold together the human threads that keep an exceptional leader and team in sync.

- Low-ego and high-initiative: energised by making the team win and comfortable being behind the scenes, while ambitious enough that people often peg you as a future founder

- Unrattled by chaos and speed: deeply organised but able to hold shifting, sometimes-conflicting inputs from multiple leaders and clients without dropping anything

- Based in or willing to relocate to Austin, TX

Nice to Have

- Product experience, fintech, financial markets, or blockchain exposure

Benefits

- Medical, dental, and vision healthcare

- 401(k)

- Generous PTO
