It’s rare that a new asset class is born. Nevertheless, we’re witnessing exactly that with the rise of crypto. Over just the last few years, crypto has evolved from an embryonic $50B market to a growing $3T+ juggernaut. At Bitwise, we believe that crypto has reached a turning point, and is headed north of $10T over the next few years.
This is an exciting moment for Bitwise as a firm. For more than seven years, we have established a track record of excellence managing a broad suite of index and active solutions across ETFs, separately managed accounts, private funds, staking solutions, and hedge fund strategies. This year, we crossed $12B in client assets and are growing quickly. Thousands of financial advisors, family offices, and institutional investors partner with Bitwise to understand and access the opportunities in crypto. We are known for providing unparalleled client support through expert research and commentary, a nationwide client team of crypto specialists, and deep access to the crypto ecosystem.
Currently, Bitwise is a close-knit team of 90+ professionals. Think of us as a mix of an asset manager and a tech start-up. We’re backed by some of the most accomplished investors in venture capital and veterans of the financial services world. We love working together, we love what we do, and we’re excited about what’s ahead.
We’re looking for an exceptional individual to join our team and take on important responsibilities to help Bitwise scale. Reporting to the President, the Executive Assistant will be a utility player and source of support to help the President lead the company and get leverage in his day-to-day. There will be a lot to learn, a huge impact to be had, and some life-long relationships to be built along the way.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Serve as a strategic partner to the President, managing the flow of information, correspondence, and daily operations to maximize focus on core business growth and strategy.
- Own and proactively optimize the President's complex calendar across multiple time zones, protecting focus time and ensuring all scheduling aligns with strategic priorities.
- Expertly manage all domestic and international travel logistics, including flight, hotel, and client-facing reservations.
- Serve as the central point of contact for the President's Team by coordinating meetings and communications, facilitating high-level coordination and keeping all members connected and informed of critical firm and departmental updates.
- Ensure sensitive and effective communication with internal teammates and external partners while proactively contributing to a high-energy, inclusive company culture.
- Proactively anticipate needs and identify opportunities to support the President’s efficiency and impact.
- Drive the execution of ad-hoc tasks and projects directly supporting the President's priorities.
- Handle sensitive information with the utmost confidentiality, professionalism, and integrity at all times.
Role Requirements:
- Ability to reliably commute to the NYC office 3x a week (Tuesday - Thursday) and flexibility to be onsite as business needs require.
- 5+ years of experience directly supporting a C-level Executive (President, CEO, COO) in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. Prior experience in Financial Services, Asset Management, Fintech, or a venture-backed startup is strongly preferred.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience supporting senior leadership.
- Exceptional attention to detail and proven ability to proactively anticipate needs, manage logistics independently, and solve complex problems before they escalate. Demonstrated commitment to taking ownership and driving issues to resolution without executive oversight.
- Exceptional verbal and written communication skills delivered with a professional, friendly, and welcoming approach. Serve as an extension of the President, handling all time-sensitive internal and external communications and calendar coordination with care and sensitivity.
- Advanced proficiency in Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Sheets, Slides). Proven ability and interest in quickly mastering new tools and technology (e.g., Salesforce, Asana, Slack, expense management software).
- High degree of adaptability, flexibility, and responsiveness required to expertly manage a dynamic and rapidly changing executive calendar, including complex meeting and travel coordination.
- Willingness and flexibility to be available outside of normal business hours to support the President's complex and ever-changing schedule.
- Your style is like ours: high-energy, positive, caring, deliberate, self-aware, curious and open minded, inclined to take ownership to get the best outcome but happy to transfer or share ownership with others. You’re proactive in pursuing what you want, you take pride in your ability to communicate and connect with others, and you’re always looking to improve.
