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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
