Senior Executive Assistant to General Partner - Investment Firm

Compensation: $125K - $150K

Location: New York City, USA (Fully Office-Based Required)

We are a premier global investment firm focused on the future of decentralized technology and blockchain ecosystems. Since 2018, we have partnered with over 150 visionary startups, combining deep technical expertise with a hands-on approach to help founders scale transformative projects. As a highly institutionalized fund, we manage relationships with some of the world’s most sophisticated investors, including sovereign wealth funds and global endowments.

We are seeking a senior, high-trust Executive Assistant to work directly with our Founder. This is not a traditional administrative role; it is a high-leverage position designed for a strategic thinker who can operate in ambiguity and act as a true extension of the Founder. You will be responsible for filtering noise, synthesizing complex information, and ensuring that strategic priorities are executed with precision.

As we transition our global operations to a new flagship office in New York City, this role will be central to maintaining the Founder's momentum and organizational clarity.
