Chief Operating
Officer (COO)

A strategic leader.
A practical operator.

Arclight Digital Assets is based in Miami, with a focus on digital asset markets, financial technology and the operating systems that support a disciplined business. We are seeking a Chief Operating Officer who can build the processes, accountability and organizational capacity needed for sustainable growth.

This is a hands-on executive role. Working with company leadership, you will connect functions around shared outcomes, translate priorities into practical plans and make performance visible. You should be as comfortable shaping an operating model as you are improving the details that make it work.

The position is full-time and remote within the United States. The final work location and employment arrangements will be confirmed during the hiring process.

What you will own.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

What you bring.

• Financial fluency and the ability to evaluate performance, investment choices and commercial tradeoffs.
