Senior Operations Specialist
Apex Crypto, a fast-growing startup, is looking for a senior operational manager to define and implement the operational strategy necessary to support the next phase of the business. As the business grows the need for further standardization of processes, the evaluation and evolution of controls, and ultimately increased operational capacity could not be greater. Apex Crypto is a cryptocurrency retail brokerage firm, servicing the customers of our sister company, Apex Clearing. As a key member of the Apex Crypto team, you will work closely with business leaders across both Apex Crypto and Apex Clearing as well as with customers to define the future of what cryptocurrency ought to be.
The skills you’ll need to succeed:
- Investment industry experience, preferably in operational capacities with proven abilities to define and implement operational strategy.
- Managerial experience
- Knowledge of cryptocurrency, a plus
- Think strategically, but also roll up your sleeves, to solve problems
- Strong ability to multitask and prioritize while maintaining a high attention to detail and customer satisfaction.
- An analytical mind, willing to continually dig deeper on everything put in front of you
- An ability to quantify business needs
- Respond well to tight deadlines
- General knowledge of contracts/vendor agreements
- Good financial acumen – no need for an accounting degree, just a good sense of numbers
- Enjoys creating and implementing processes
- Experience working closely with internal and external clients.
- Excellent informal and formal written, verbal, and presentation communication skills
- Proven competency with Microsoft Excel, Word and PowerPoint
What you’ll do all day:
- Execute on initiatives and key milestones. This is a startup and there are a number of ways to grow the business. You will collaborate with the team to prioritize those initiatives and ensure delivery against agreed upon milestones.
- Build operational capacity. Work across all firm functions and levels to identify and implement efficiency improvements in order to increase capacity for the next initiative.
- Collaborate with other functions. From Finance to Compliance to Sales and Marketing, there is a need for operational input and assistance. As the business grows, liaising with these teams will become a larger part of your day.
- Drive Progress. At a growing company, you must continually anticipate needs and get ahead of roadblocks to ensure forward progress.
