Operations Associate
£28k-£32k
Responsibilities
• Run daily operational tasks for a range of digital asset entities, ensuring timely and accurate execution.
• Plan and track deliverables across client engagements, keeping internal and external stakeholders informed.
• Manage compliance obligations alongside legal teams and directors: counterparty onboarding, regulatory filings, and periodic reviews.
• Keep records accurate, well-structured, and audit-ready across all engagements, from compliance files to onboarding documentation.
• Spot inefficiencies in operational workflows and implement technology to optimise workstreams.
• Maintain and develop the operational playbook, keeping processes documented and current.
What we are looking for
• Experience in operations or project management, ideally in a fast-paced, technology-driven environment.
• A STEM background is highly desirable; we value analytical rigour and structured problem-solving.
• Meticulous record-keeping and organisational skills, with the ability to manage competing deadlines without compromising quality.
• An understanding of finance and accounting concepts (reporting, reconciliations, audit requirements); enough to grasp what clients need and why, without owning those workflows.
• Familiarity with KYB/AML and wallet screening tools such as Sumsub and blockchain analytics platforms; hands-on experience is a plus, but you should understand what these tools do and why they matter.
• Strong interest in crypto and blockchain; direct experience is a plus, not a requirement.
• A clear communicator, comfortable with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.
Benefits
• Dress for your diary.
• A technology enabled firm.
• A Family environment, fantastic retention, hiring due to exceptional growth and internal promotions.
• A Fixed profit-sharing bonus scheme payable to all staff.
• Brand new central London office.
• Plenty of socialising opportunities. xwzovoh
