Job of the Day
The Company
Swan is a leading Bitcoin-only financial services company supporting individuals and companies throughout their Bitcoin journey. We hire passionate Bitcoiners who want to work with a self-motivated and fully distributed startup team.
The Role
Last year, Swan announced its intent to launch a Bitcoin-only trust company. We are working toward building a pipeline of highly qualified individuals to help us lead this company.
The trust company will embark on the mission of onboarding the world's Bitcoin-only clients ranging from wealth managers, family offices, institutions, and beyond while innovating in Bitcoin-only custody initiatives such as multi-institutional custody and other new forms of collaborative and conditional custody enabled by Bitcoin native technology.
The company will maintain complete legal separation from Swan and have its own management structure separate from Swan while having access to Swan's broader resources (with more than 170 employees overall).
We are seeking an experienced Chief Operating Officer (COO) (or Director of Operations, depending on experience) to lead the trust company's operational aspects.
This early hire will play a pivotal role in building, developing, overseeing, and optimizing the trust company's operations. This leadership position requires a seasoned operation professional with a deep understanding of fiduciary services, regulatory compliance, and a proven track record of driving operational excellence.
This is a startup-phase tech company role that must balance the fast-paced needs of a startup with the regulatory and risk needs of a trusted company managing billions of dollars in AUC.
The ideal candidate will have experience in rapidly changing high-growth environments, be comfortable wearing many hats, and rapidly jump levels from a hands-on review of new initiatives to vendor selection to conversations with management and regulators.
