Job description

D3 is building the world’s first purpose-built blockchain for DomainFi — bringing domain tokenization and DeFi primitives to a massive, rapidly growing $350B+ real-world asset class. We’re revolutionizing how existing and future domain names are owned, traded, and leveraged in the digital economy.

Our elite team is stacked with industry veterans who have spent the last three decades shaping the internet, from pioneering domain name monetization to architecting key internet protocols to launching and running major TLDs like .xyz, .inc, .tv, and .link. With a proven track record of innovation and success, we’re now redefining what’s possible in the domain space.

We recently closed a $25M Series A led by Paradigm - one of the best investors in the industry. This will help fuel our mission to bring domains fully on-chain and unlock new financial possibilities for one of the internet’s most valuable asset classes.

We’re based in Los Angeles, with team members all over the world.

Job Overview:

We’re looking for an Operations Project Manager who thrives on communication, organization, and execution. In this role, you’ll be the hub connecting leadership across US West/East and APAC, ensuring our business operations run smoothly as we enter a critical growth stage. You’ll own coordination for project plans, role call, financial workflows, and cross-functional initiatives — keeping everything (and everyone) on track ahead of major milestones.

If you have a knack for managing moving pieces, and want to be the calm in the storm while working closely with executives, this is the role for you.

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as the central point of coordination across US and APAC teams, ensuring seamless communication and handoffs.
• Manage business operations processes including AP/AR tracking, FTE planning, and resourcing needs.
• Own project plans end-to-end — timelines, risks, contingencies, follow-ups — with clarity and accountability.
• Reduce meeting load by proactively aligning stakeholders, summarizing decisions, and circulating updates.
• Drive operational readiness for major milestones by coordinating priorities and deliverables.
• Maintain documentation and dashboards that give leadership visibility into status, blockers, and next steps.
• Anticip risks and propose contingency plans that keep execution on track.
• Foster a positive, professional, and proactive team environment.

Qualifications:

• 4–5 years of professional experience, with at least 2–3 years in operations, project management, or program management.
• Proven ability to coordinate across multiple time zones (US/APAC preferred).
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — able to push clarity and accountability without friction.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to juggle multiple projects at once.
• Proficient with project management and productivity tools (Jira, Notion, Google Workspace, etc.).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to anticipate risks and manage contingencies.

Nice to haves:

• Background in business operations (finance, HR, vendor management, compliance).
• Experience supporting leadership in fast-moving, high-growth companies.
• Familiarity with tech or blockchain environments.
• Exposure to PMO methodologies (Agile, Lean, Six Sigma, or PMP/PMO training).
