Remote · United StatesFull-timeExecutive
A strategic leader.
A practical operator.
Arclight Digital Assets is a Miami-based startup project in preparation, focused on digital-asset research, financial technology and operating design. The planned Chief Operating Officer role will help establish the processes, decision rights and organizational capacity needed for responsible development.
The intended mandate combines strategic judgment with hands-on implementation. As the organization develops, the COO would connect functions around shared outcomes, turn priorities into practical plans and make performance visible. The work begins with establishing an operating foundation rather than assuming that a mature organization already exists.
The planned arrangement is full-time and remote within the United States. Expressions of interest are welcome; there is no confirmed start date. Arclight is not yet incorporated. The employing legal entity, applicable work-state arrangements and final terms must be confirmed in a written offer before work begins.
The intended operating mandate.
Strategy into execution
Translate company priorities into annual operating plans, quarterly commitments and clear ownership. Establish a management rhythm that connects decisions, resources and delivery. Surface tradeoffs early and resolve dependencies across functions.
Operational architecture
Design workflows, policies, documentation and decision rights. Identify manual work and recurring failure points, then introduce appropriate systems and automation. Build repeatable processes that improve speed, accuracy and accountability.
Financial and resource discipline
Partner with finance and leadership on budgets, forecasts, headcount and resource allocation. Establish meaningful operating metrics, review spending against results and bring rigor to procurement and vendor economics.
Risk, controls and resilience
Work with legal, compliance, finance and technology specialists to translate applicable obligations into practical controls. Strengthen approvals, escalation paths, vendor diligence, incident coordination and business continuity.
People and organizational effectiveness
Set clear expectations, develop functional leaders and address capability gaps. Improve collaboration across a distributed organization and create thoughtful approaches to hiring, onboarding, performance management and succession.
Partnerships and strategic delivery
Lead complex initiatives from business case through implementation. Establish disciplined partner selection, negotiation, onboarding and performance reviews. Keep leadership informed of material issues, milestones and outcomes.

Use your introduction and any later conversation to explain the decisions behind your results. A professional profile and a concise account of two relevant operating situations are a useful starting point.
Resource allocation
Explain how you connected a budget or staffing decision to a business priority. Include the tradeoff, the approval process and what you learned after implementation.
Risk and escalation
Discuss a situation where you raised a material concern, coordinated an incident or improved a control. Show how you clarified ownership and supported a defensible decision.
People and change
Share an example of aligning a distributed team, clarifying responsibilities or leading a difficult transition. Distinguish your contribution from the team’s wider work.
Anonymize third-party details and share only materials you are authorized to disclose. References, identity documents and other employment records should be requested separately at the appropriate stage.
