We are the pioneers behind a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain that is setting a new global standard for scalability. By re-engineering the most widely adopted execution environments in Web3, we provide decentralized applications with the performance of Web2 combined with the sovereignty of Web3.

We are seeking a highly strategic and operationally adept Chief of Staff to serve as a direct partner to our executive leadership. This role goes far beyond administrative support; you will be a trusted advisor and core team member with broad visibility into our highest strategic priorities. As we enter a pivotal stage of growth, you will be the "operational glue" that drives execution, ensures organizational alignment, and translates high-level vision into measurable outcomes.

This position is based in New York City and requires a strong on-site presence.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Partnership: Work alongside the C-suite to prioritize objectives and act as a force multiplier by translating strategy into actionable project plans.
• Operational Rigor: Design and maintain the organization’s "operating rhythm," including planning cycles, OKR tracking, and executive updates to drive accountability.
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Serve as the central hub for information flow, ensuring departments are coordinated and that decisions are communicated consistently across the team.
• Special Projects: Lead high-impact, high-visibility initiatives from concept to execution with full autonomy and discretion.
• Problem Solving: Identify organizational gaps or process inefficiencies and proactively implement scalable solutions.

Requirements

• Professional Background: Proven experience in operations, strategy, investment banking, management consulting, or a similar high-rigor environment.
• Executive Presence: Prior experience working directly with C-suite executives or founders in a high-growth startup environment.
• Analytical Excellence: Strong capability to navigate complex, ambiguous problems and execute with precision.
• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills; ability to synthesize complex data into clear briefings.
• Operational Mindset: Highly organized and process-oriented with a natural bias toward action and a "get it done" attitude.
• Availability: Comfortable being “always-on” when urgency demands and thriving in a fast-paced, "startup" atmosphere.

Bonus Points:

• Deep passion for or experience in the Crypto, Blockchain, or Web3 ecosystems.
• Experience in investment banking or other detail-intensive analytical roles.

Benefits

• Competitive Salary: $150,000 – $200,000 base salary.
• Performance Bonus: 10% – 15% annual target.
• Token Incentives: Annual token grant equivalent to 10% – 15% of base salary (subject to a standard 4-year vesting schedule).
• Impact: The opportunity to shape the future of decentralized infrastructure at a leading Layer 1 foundation.
• Environment: A collaborative, low-ego, and high-performance culture in the heart of NYC.
