Job description

About Bitstack

It all started with an idea in 2021. Initially built to democratize Bitcoin in France, Bitstack has gone from a simple product that invests spare change in bitcoin, to a crypto-native bank bringing a better way to save, spend, and grow money to our 300K+ users. We want to rebuild finance from the ground up to empower people to achieve financial freedom by participating in a more open and inclusive financial system. We’re a small, ambitious team of operators. We believe in moving fast, sweating the details, and creating products people truly love. At Bitstack, you’ll have the opportunity to shape not just our products, but the culture and practices of our entire organization. Bitstack is backed by YC, leading VCs like 13books Capital, Stillmark, Serena, and many more. We are building a product our users love and we are just getting started!

• Prepare and manage recurring investor and board reports (financial metrics, KPIs, product updates, and hiring progress).

• Maintain and update the investor CRM; ensure timely communication and follow‑ups.

• Support preparation and coordination of board meetings, investor updates, and leadership offsites.

• Lead or support cross‑departmental projects that enhance growth, operations or internal processes.

• Partner with Marketing and Product teams to help execute growth and user engagement initiatives.

• Manage project timelines, documentation, and follow‑ups for strategic and operational priorities.
