About Raiku Raiku is building the next-generation infrastructure layer on Solana, enabling a fundamentally new level of transaction reliability, design freedom, and scalability for developers. We are a technical-first, high-velocity team reshaping how onchain systems operate.
Role Overview: As Operations Manager, you will be responsible for making sure the internal engine of Raiku runs at full precision. You will work directly with the CEO to plan, coordinate, and track projects across engineering, product, growth, legal, and finance functions. You will design and maintain the systems that keep Raiku moving efficiently: project and task management, workflow automation, internal coordination, and risk tracking. You will hold team leads accountable to goals, deadlines, and deliverables — and you will flag risks and misalignments early. You will also liaise directly with external partners such as legal counsel and finance providers across jurisdictions, ensuring that Raiku's operational foundation is robust and scalable. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in high-autonomy environments, loves solving coordination problems, and wants to operate at the heart of a fast-moving infrastructure company.
Key Responsibilities:
- Project & Task Management: Build and maintain clear project plans and internal trackers across teams; ensure all functions (engineering, legal, growth, finance) are aligned on priorities and deadlines.
- Accountability Partner: Work closely with the CEO to track team lead progress, proactively identify risks, and surface bottlenecks.
- Systems Building: Design and continuously improve internal workflows, project management systems (e.g., Notion, Linear, Asana), and automations where applicable.
- Risk Management: Implement a lightweight but effective framework for identifying and mitigating risks across engineering, operations, legal, and BD.
- Legal Coordination: Serve as point-of-contact for Raiku’s external legal counsel across multiple jurisdictions (corporate, regulatory, IP).
- Financial Planning Support: Assist CEO and finance leads with forecasting, operational budgeting, and financial tracking.
- Operational Scaling: Help prepare Raiku to scale smoothly by ensuring internal processes are pragmatic, efficient, and documented.
Who You Are:
- 4–8+ years of experience in management consulting, startup operations, internal strategy, or project/program management roles.
- Strong project management skills: you can drive clarity from ambiguity and keep multiple workstreams moving.
- Highly structured thinker and communicator; strong written reporting skills.
- Deeply organized with high attention to detail.
- Process-oriented and systems-minded: you enjoy building clean, efficient internal processes.
- Comfortable working directly with senior leadership and managing external counterparties (law firms, accountants, vendors).
- Self-starter mentality with a strong sense of ownership.
Nice to Have:
- Experience in crypto, fintech, infrastructure, or other regulated environments.
- Familiarity with financial modeling or startup finance basics.
- Previous experience setting up legal entity structures, token foundations, or international corporate operations.
