• Excellent organizational skills with the ability to scale processes in a fast-moving environment

• Experience in a regulated industry (financial services, fintech, banking, crypto) strongly preferred

• Discretion and professionalism when handling sensitive information

Nice to have, but not mandatory

• Experience supporting teams across the US, LATAM, EU, or APAC

• Familiarity with compensation structures unique to crypto (token grants, vesting schedules)
