Job description
We are an early-stage B2B cross-border payments platform bridging the gap between traditional finance and digital assets. By utilizing crypto rails, we enable businesses to pay, convert, and earn yield across Crypto, Stablecoins, and Fiat within a regulated framework.
As we scale our digital financial infrastructure, we are looking for a Board & Operations Infrastructure Lead to serve as the "operational integrator" for our leadership team. This is a high-impact role designed to install the systems, structure, and execution discipline required to run a high-growth regulated business.
This is not a traditional Executive Assistant or Compliance role. You will be the architect of our internal workflows, working directly with the Board and Founders to reduce operational noise and ensure that every strategic commitment is tracked, owned, and executed.
What You'll Do
- Operational Infrastructure: Design, install, and manage a company-wide Project Management (PM) system to streamline cross-functional work.
- Board Governance: Manage the cadence of board meetings, including the preparation of board packs, action logs, and tracking deliverables.
- Execution Discipline: Build and maintain structured Gantt charts and workstreams, ensuring senior stakeholders meet deadlines and commitments.
- Process Optimization: Audit and restructure document repositories and internal reporting cadences to create a "single source of truth."
- Regulatory Support: Support the documentation process for regulatory and banking applications, maintaining live trackers for licensing milestones.
- Founder Support: Measurably reduce the operational tracking burden on founders by building operational health dashboards and escalation protocols.
The 180-Day Roadmap
We believe in clarity from day one. Your initial focus will be:
- Days 1-30 (Audit): Map active workstreams, identify structural gaps, and propose a company-wide PM system.
- Days 30-90 (Build): Implement the PM system, build a 12-month master Gantt, and standardize board reporting.
- Days 90-180 (Scale): Automate reporting, install escalation protocols, and measurably reduce the founder's operational burden.
- Final Outcome: A high-accountability environment where "hidden deadlines" don't exist.
Requirements
Do you have experience in Ruby on Rails?, * Experience: 3-7 years of professional experience, ideally within a fast-scaling startup or a structured corporate environment.
- Systems Expertise: Proven track record of implementing operational systems or PM tools (e.g., Asana, Monday.com, ClickUp) across a business.
- Mindset: You think in terms of structure, ownership, and timelines. You are obsessively organized and thrive in high-accountability environments.
- Interpersonal Strength: You are comfortable-and effective-at chasing senior stakeholders to ensure follow-through.
- Agency: You are a practical, execution-focused individual who enjoys building order from complexity.
- Bonus: Experience in regulated environments (Fintech, Crypto, or Banking) is helpful but not required. An execution-first mindset is essential.
Benefits & conditions
- Salary: £50,000 - £75,000 (Dependent on Experience).
- Flexibility: Remote-first culture with a weekly touchpoint in London to maintain team cohesion.
- Exposure: Direct access to Board-level operations and senior leadership in the crypto/fintech space.
- Growth: A clear 180-day roadmap with the autonomy to design the operational blueprint of the company
