# Chief of Staff > Valinor · New York, United States (Hybrid) · Full-time · Posted 2026-04-06 **Workplace:** hybrid ## Description ### About Valinor Valinor is building a new kind of credit institution — one with the rigor and judgment of a financial firm and the speed and ambition of a technology company. We originate, structure, and distribute institutional-grade credit products natively on blockchain-based rails, with AI-driven operations and in partnership with the broader digital asset ecosystem. We recently raised a $25M seed round and are a small, high-conviction team operating at the frontier of capital markets. ### The Role We are hiring a **Chief of Staff** to serve as the right hand to Valinor's founders, supporting key strategic and operational initiatives. You will support high-priority initiatives across business development, new product identification, and strategic planning. You will help design and maintain the internal operating infrastructure that keeps a growing, multi-domain business coordinated. And you will handle the day-to-day execution that keeps the founders and team on track. We are a small team with no silos. You will work closely with the investment team, the technology and product team, and the operations team, and with outside investors & partners. The role offers unusual breadth - across credit investing, digital assets, stablecoin infrastructure, and venture - and close proximity to how the founders think and operate. ### What You'll Do **Strategic Initiatives** _(supporting the CEO)_ - Help organize and execute on strategic initiatives across business development, fundraising, partnership development, and new product identification. - Prepare materials and analysis to support strategic planning and decision-making. - Take the lead on special projects as they emerge — recruiting pushes, vendor evaluations, market analyses, partnership diligence — and drive them to completion. **Internal Operating System** _(supporting the CBO and Product Lead)_ - Help design and implement an agentic operating system across business development, underwriting, and distribution. - Stand up and maintain the internal coordination infrastructure for a growing team: meeting rhythms, decision tracking, and project management. - Identify processes that are broken, manual, or nonexistent — and ways to build or automate them. - Research and experiment with AI-native workflows, applications, and best practices **Operational Execution** - Serve as connective tissue across internal teams, business lines, and external partners — ensuring information flows, decisions do not stall, and new product and partnership initiatives stay coordinated across functions. - Help manage external communications across investors, counterparties, and strategic partners. - Prepare agendas, materials, and follow-ups for board meetings, investor updates, and internal leadership discussions. - Help the founders manage and prioritize their time and competing demands — including optimizing personal operating systems, with an eye toward automating routine coordination over time. ### Why Valinor - **Early-stage and high momentum.** $25M seed, active deal pipeline, partnerships with tier-1 counterparties, and a clear thesis on where credit markets are going. - **Cross-domain exposure.** Valinor operates across credit, crypto, fintech, and venture capital. You will work with people across all of these worlds and develop fluency across them. - **Build the playbook.** There is no inherited operating manual. You will help design digitally-native systems, processes, and rhythms that define how Valinor runs. - **Exceptional team.** Small team with deep institutional credit and technology backgrounds. We move fast, think rigorously, and hold each other to a high bar. ## Requirements - **Sharp and organized.** 2–4 years of experience in product, investment banking, consulting, startup operations, or a prior chief of staff role. Demonstrated ability to manage multiple workstreams and deliver independently. - **Disciplined on follow-through.** Tracks every open item and closes every loop. Nothing falls through the cracks. - **Strong written and verbal communicator.** Able to draft an investor update, prepare a board memo, and deliver a clear internal briefing. - **Comfortable with ambiguity.** Energized by undefined problems; able to walk into a new area of the business and help determine what needs to happen. - **Excited about designing high-performance systems.** Genuinely interested in using AI tools to systematize operations and build repeatable, scalable workflows. Prior experience is not required — intellectual curiosity and willingness to build are. - **Low ego, high standards.** Willing to do whatever needs doing and holds themselves to a high bar across all of it. ### Nice to Have - Background in engineering, finance, or credit - Experience building operational infrastructure from scratch: templates, dashboards, internal tools, lightweight automation - Familiarity with crypto, DeFi, or digital assets - Experience with agentic workflows ## Benefits - Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision) - Retirement Plan (401k, IRA) - Stock Option Plan ## Apply [Apply at Valinor](https://apply.workable.com/valinor/j/450C1B4310/apply) --- Powered by [Workable](https://www.workable.com)
