Project Manager, Crypto & DeFi, FinTech

Project Manager — New York (Up to $180K)

My client is looking for a highly motivated Project Manager to help us build, ship, and operate at an early‑stage fintech/crypto startup. This is a hands‑on role for someone who likes wearing multiple hats, moving fast, and working close to the metal with products, markets, and leadership.

• Drive execution across product, ops, and special projects in a fast‑moving, ambiguous environment
• Work hands‑on with crypto and DeFi products, including putting together simple token portfolios for campaigns and analysis
• Gather user feedback, run competitive research, and help iterate quickly on product ideas
• Use lightweight Python scripts (self‑written or AI‑assisted) to automate analyses and workflows
• Write clear, concise emails and docs for investors, partners, and internal stakeholders
• Jump in wherever needed—including unglamorous but critical CEO support—to keep things moving

• 3–5 years of experience at a tech, fintech, or crypto company
• Genuine interest in investing, markets, tokens, and building your own portfolio
• Practical DeFi knowledge and comfort using real crypto products
• Strong written communication and a bias toward action
• Low‑ego, high‑ownership mindset

Background in trading or consumer fintech/crypto products. PM experience is great if you’re hands‑on and crypto‑native.
