About the role

By owning the operational backbone of our Engineering team and serving as the key operator for the org, you will remove friction, improve execution speed, and ensure Engineering teams operate at peak performance.
This is an operations and strategy role.

Strategic Advisory: Serve as a strategic advisor to the CTO, Engineering Leadership and Product Leads.
Provide hands-on advisory across internal process design, team organizational op model, data insights and day-to-day operational decision making.
Data-Driven Insights: Deliver analysis that helps inform team performance, productivity metrics, weekly readouts, and key areas of optimization.
Priortization Framework: Build and maintain the frameworks that help Engineering focus capacity on the highest-impact initiatives and make clear, defensible trade-offs when priorities compete.
You will own Linear end-to-end as the org's source of structure for work management.
Process Design & Automation: Identify and close operational gaps across the delivery lifecycle through improved workflows and automation, building scalable processes from the ground up.
Cross-Functional Coordination: Work closely with other Operations leads and act as the operational bridge between Engineering and its cross-functional partners (Product, BD, Finance, Legal, Marketing).
ENG Ops Trainings: Develop and run training sessions for the Engineering team, empowering them with the tools and processes needed to succeed.
With LayerZero's simple, generic messaging protocol, builders will develop cross-chain dApps designed to unify the power of individual blockchains.

5+ years of experience in business operations, engineering operations, or a similar function.
Ideally within a FinTech, high-growth tech startup, or Web3 environment.
Excellent cross-functional communication.
You thrive as the connective tissue between Engineering, BD, Finance, Legal, Product, and Marketing.
Highly organized, proactive, and comfortable operating with a high degree of ownership and ambiguity.
Hands-on familiarity with Linear (or a comparable execution / issue-tracking system) and modern operational tooling.
Experience supporting or partnering closely with executive leadership is a strong plus.

Founded in 2021, LayerZero's vision is to create a community of cross-chain developers, building dApps that are no longer constrained by individual blockchain capabilities.
Oversee and track Engineering OKRs, ensuring alignment with the company's long-term vision and strategy; surface trends, flag risks, and keep priorities on course.
Build and maintain dashboards that make goals, progress, and delivery health visible to leadership and teams.
POKR Management & Tracking: Oversee and track Engineering OKRs, ensuring alignment with the company's long-term vision and strategy
