Operations Associate

Valinor Job OpportunityValinor is building a new kind of credit institution — one with the rigor and judgment of a financial firm and the speed and ambition of a technology company. We originate, structure, and distribute institutional-grade credit products natively on blockchain-based rails, with AI-driven operations and in partnership with the broader digital asset ecosystem. We recently raised a $25M seed round and are a small, high-conviction team operating at the frontier of capital markets.This is an exciting seat for someone early in their career, with a potential path to Chief of Staff. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founder every day: managing priorities, running our outsourced providers, keeping documents, trackers, and deadlines in order, and taking whatever lands on your plate and running through walls to get it done. You'll spot what's broken or missing and fix it before anyone asks, turning one-off tasks into repeatable, automated systems. This is a fast-paced startup: no task is too big or too small, you'll get more responsibility than you think you're ready for, and how fast you grow is up to you.What You'll DoFounder & CEO support: work side-by-side with the CEO to manage priorities and scheduling, prep meetings, own follow-ups, and turn messy, half-formed asks into finished output — the training ground for a future Chief of Staff.Vendor management: coordinate with people and outsourced providers (corporate cards, payroll, benefits, insurance, IT, etc.); own the vendor and contract tracker (costs, renewals, contacts).People operations: coordinate basic HR policies, run hiring logistics (interview scheduling, candidate tracking) and employee onboarding and offboarding.Events & media: organize and execute team events, offsites, and investor and partner gatherings; research industry conferences worth attending and track event invites and outreach; provide light support on social and content coordination (helping coordinate posts and materials across the team).Office management: keep the office running day-to-day — order and stock supplies, equipment, and kitchen/snacks; receive and route mail, packages, and shipping; coordinate with building management on facilities, seating, keys/access, and repairs; procure and set up hardware (laptops, monitors) and software/app access; own the in-office and guest/visitor experience (greeting visitors, catering, meeting-room setup)Document, process & systems: maintain the firm's document management structure (SharePoint), naming conventions, and process playbooks; keep checklists and trackers live and accurate; keep Notion data current (company database tagging and hygiene, someday/maybe lists, CRM data).Automation: improve and automate recurring workflows, including the AI-assisted processes we already run; maintain AI-assisted decision logs capturing key meeting decisions, postmortems, and event debriefs.
