• Optimise, standardize, and automate for scale: Identify operational bottlenecks and inefficiencies, introducing standardization and automation that enables growth without unnecessary complexity or friction.
• Act as a connective layer across the business: Ensure end-to-end alignment by working closely with Product, Engineering, Compliance, Finance, and Business teams to support operational readiness and delivery.

What's Involved

We are seeking a driven, high-ownership Strategy & Operations Manager to join the Product Team at a moment of hyper growth. This is not a maintenance role, you will be joining a business that is building new products, launching new structures, and scaling in real time.

The role is suited to someone who wants responsibility and is motivated by building things quickly and properly. While we expect strong operational and strategic capability, the single most important attribute we are looking for is drive. The willingness to take ownership, make decisions, and be accountable for outcomes.

This role will work closely with Product, Engineering, Compliance, and the wider business to turn strategy into execution, and execution into scalable, repeatable operations.

What you'll be doing

We are seeking a motivated, diligent and talented Strategy & Operations Manager to join the team.

• Build and scale operational foundations: Design and implement robust, compliant, and scalable operational models to support products, funds, and tokenisation initiatives from launch through growth.
• Drive execution in a fast-moving environment: Own cross-functional initiatives end-to-end, proactively identifying dependencies and blockers and driving delivery across Product, Engineering, Compliance, and Commercial teams.
• Optimise, standardize, and automate for scale: Identify operational bottlenecks and inefficiencies, introducing standardization and automation that enables growth without unnecessary complexity or friction.
• Act as a connective layer across the business: Ensure end-to-end alignment by working closely with Product, Engineering, Compliance, Finance, and Business teams to support operational readiness and delivery.
• Create clarity through documentation and communication: Maintain clear, structured documentation and engage stakeholders with confident, pragmatic communication to align on priorities, timelines, and expectations.

Requirements

Must Haves

• 4+ years’ experience in strategy, operations, product, consulting, or a related role within financial services, or a technology-driven environment.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to turn complex issues into practical solutions.
• Experience building or improving operational processes, particularly in fast-growing or early-stage environments.
• A proven ability to work cross-functionally and drive initiatives forward without needing constant direction.

Nice to Haves

• Exposure to investment funds, alternative assets, capital markets, or fund operations.

Most importantly, you bring:

• High levels of drive, ownership, and accountability.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and under pressure.
• A strong desire to build, improve, and scale systems rather than simply run them.
• The motivation to be part of an ambitious business where the pace is high and expectations are real.

We expect this role to attract experienced operators, but we are equally open to exceptional, less-experienced candidates who demonstrate the right mindset and capability.

Benefits

Join a scaling fintech building the next generation of investment banking. You’ll work at the intersection of capital markets and cutting-edge blockchain technology, helping drive and shape the future of financial infrastructure.
