Digital Asset Operations Specialist

This is a hands-on operations role at a crypto-native hedge fund, where the markets never stop and operational workflows run around the clock. You will be a core part of the team executing the trade lifecycle, digital asset operations, reconciliations, and more, reporting into the COO team and partnering daily with trading, technology, and compliance. The work suits someone who finds disorder genuinely uncomfortable, notices the discrepancy nobody else caught, and takes pride in getting the details right. Beyond keeping records accurate across fund admin, prime broker, and custody partners, you will spot inefficiencies and drive the process improvement and automation that lets operations scale as the firm grows.

What You'll Do

• Execute wallet management workflows across hot, cold, and MPC custody solutions, and monitor and document staking, bridging, and smart contract interactions daily
• Own trade lifecycle processes end to end: trade capture, margin tracking, collateral monitoring, settlements, and daily reconciliation across counterparties and custody partners
• Maintain data accuracy across fund admin, prime broker, and custody partners, and push back when something does not add up or reconcile cleanly against source records
• Own internal dashboards, operational reporting, and procedure documentation, and support operational security processes, escalating issues to the COO team as needed
• Coordinate core business operations, including compliance procedures and vendor coordination, while keeping workflows moving between research, trading, compliance, and technology teams
• Track and report on operational KPIs and process metrics, drive process improvement and automation, and support technology platform implementation and business continuity testing

Core Essentials

• 5-7 years in operations at a hedge fund, proprietary trading firm, or crypto financial services business
• Meticulous attention to detail - you are the person who spots the error in row 847 of a spreadsheet
• Structured thinker who can manage multiple concurrent workstreams without dropping the ball
• Strong communicator who is clear, direct, and proactive across cross-functional teams
• Comfortable operating in high-stakes, 24/7 market environments where things move quickly and priorities shift without notice
• Bachelor's degree required

Bonus Skills

• Direct digital asset operations experience, including custody, settlements, staking, and DeFi workflows
• Exposure to exchange or counterparty operations and post-trade settlement
• Experience liaising with engineering on system monitoring and incident documentation
• A finance, technical, or business education background
