Description

We believe Ethereum has the potential to solve some of humanity’s most crucial coordination issues. Since our initial inception as a research group, we have sought to scale both its technology and values.

At present, the most pressing bottleneck to the growth of Ethereum is its performance and scalability. We are building the most elegant solution to this problem. We do this in the open (under an MIT open source license) because we believe in open source innovation and its ability to accelerate growth.

OP Labs is building Optimism mainnet, and by extension, the infrastructure that powers all OP-Stack chains. We are improving Ethereum’s performance by orders of magnitude and donating the profits from doing so to funding Ethereum public goods. By operating as a Public Benefit Corporation, OP Labs can align its incentives with the public good and take positive-sum steps toward a sustainable future for the internet.

 

The VP Business Operations & Strategy will play a vital role in driving Optimism’s growth, efficiency, and profitability within the organization by developing and executing strategies that align with the Collective’s goals and objectives. This person will help shape the overall direction and performance of the Optimism Collective.

What are the role responsibilities?

  • Develop and refine Optimism’s long-term strategic plan by analyzing market trends, identifying growth opportunities, and setting goals and objectives to drive the Collective forward.
  • Oversee the day-to-day operations of the business, ensuring that processes are efficient and aligned with the company's strategic goals by optimizing workflows, implementing new technologies, and ensuring overall productivity.
  • Develop budgets, forecast financial performance, and track key financial metrics; responsible for monitoring the company's performance against key metrics and benchmarks, and providing regular reports to senior management and stakeholders.
  • Oversee revenue planning and goaling while developing accurate revenue forecasts to help identify and size existing and new business opportunities.
  • Lead efforts to identify and pursue new business opportunities, which could include expanding into new markets, forming strategic partnerships, or launching new product lines.
  • Provide key performance metrics to the executive leadership team as well as GTM concerning account performance, pipeline management, opportunities/risks, and brand/product performance.
  • Collaborate with other departments such as DevRel, Marketing and Product to ensure alignment and coordination across the organization.
  • Develop a deep understanding of our peer and competitor positioning as well as the emerging crypto landscape to inform your recommendations.
  • Leverage advanced business intelligence tools to provide insights, forecast trends, and drive decision-making.

What skills do you bring?

  • 10+ years of experience in a business-strategy role (management consulting, investment banking, strategy at a hedge fund, operations at a start-up, etc.).
  • Exceptional analytical skills that help make data-driven decisions and recommendations amongst ambiguity; demonstrated ability to adapt quickly to shifting priorities, and make decisive decisions.
  • Demonstrated success working in a revenue operations leadership function that has created material growth amidst a rapidly changing industry.
  • Excellent cross-functional collaborator who is able to move quickly and drive results in a matrixed environment; proven experience building buy-in for recommendations across all departments and levels of the organization.
  • Strong understanding of blockchain, protocols, Defi, NFTs, DAOs, and other crypto-native technologies and communities.
  • Proven ability to collaborate with and ideally lead supporting functions (e.g., DevRel, Data, Finance) to further accelerate growth.
  • Natural curiosity to understand and solve complex business problems.
  • Superior communication (written/verbal) skills.

What will you like about us?

Operations Assistant

Full time
Remote
About the Role
We're looking for an Operations Assistant to work closely with our VP of Operations and help keep the company organized and running smoothly.
A big part of this role is taking things off the team's plate. You'll be working on documents, organizing files, keeping information up to date, writing and maintaining internal documentation, doing research, following up on tasks, and helping with whatever operational work needs to get done.
We're a lean team, so this is not a role where you'll be given one task and wait for the next one. There will be a lot of different things coming your way. Some will be routine, some will be completely new. We need someone who can figure things out, stay organized, and follow through without needing to be managed every step of the way.
We're also still in the process of bringing in investors, so we're keeping the team lean and being thoughtful about hiring. We're looking for someone who can be genuinely useful across different areas of the business and grow with the company.
Responsibilities
Work directly with the VP of Operations on day-to-day operational tasks
Create, organize, update, and maintain company documents and files
Keep Google Drive and other company folders clean, organized, and easy to navigate
Write and maintain SOPs, process documents, internal guides, and other documentation
Take information from meetings, chats, notes, and conversations and turn it into clear documentation
Maintain spreadsheets, trackers, reports, and other internal records
Help keep tasks, deadlines, and follow-ups organized
Research different topics and put together useful summaries and information
Help coordinate with team members and follow up on things that need to get done
Help improve the way we organize information and run internal processes
Assist with onboarding materials and other internal resources
Take on one-off projects and administrative tasks as needed
Handle confidential company information responsibly
Requirements
1+ years of experience in operations, administration, executive assistance, project coordination, or a similar role
Very organized and detail-oriented
Strong written English and comfortable writing clear documentation
Comfortable working with Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, and similar tools
Good at organizing large amounts of information and files
Able to manage multiple tasks without losing track of details
Comfortable working independently and figuring things out
Reliable and good at following through
Comfortable in a remote and fast-moving environment
Willing to do whatever needs to be done to keep things moving
Nice to Have
Experience working directly with a founder, executive, or operations team
Experience writing SOPs or internal documentation
Familiarity with Notion, Slack, ClickUp, Asana, Airtable, or similar tools
Good spreadsheet skills
Experience at a startup or small company
Comfortable using AI tools to help with research, writing, organization, and repetitive work
Experience in crypto, Web3, fintech, trading, or financial services
Who This Is For
This role is a good fit if you're naturally organized and like getting things done.
If someone sends you 20 files and says "please organize these," you should be able to figure out a sensible system and get it done.
If a process keeps coming up but nobody has documented it, you should be comfortable writing it down.
If you notice something is missing or could be done better, we want you to speak up and fix it.
We're looking for someone dependable, practical, and easy to work with. You don't need to know everything coming in. You just need to be willing to learn, take ownership, and get the work done.
