About the Role

We are looking for a Programs & Operations Manager to own the execution engine of the foundation. This is a high-ownership, high-trust role for a semi-senior operator who can hold nonprofit governance, mission-driven programs, financial discipline, and Bitcoin ecosystem fluency all at once.
