About the Operations Team

The Operations team owns defining, refining, and executing processes that will allow E&N to scale our organization while continuing to ship products, software, and protocols at the high level of quality that our community has come to love us for.

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for a motivated self-starter and driven individual who can thrive in a dynamic and sometimes undefined environment, and who doesn’t mind taking an iterative approach to improvement:

• Natural communicator: You are effective at presenting your ideas, getting alignment across stakeholders, and driving execution in a cross-functional environment. You have excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal skills.
• Proven track record: You have improved and executed processes in financial, legal, and corporate ops through the stages of ideation, design, configuration, usage, and validation. You are comfortable using a variety of tools to achieve operational excellence.
• Pragmatic: Although you are an independent and creative thinker, you are also action-oriented. You know that the best process is the one that people can easily understand and adopt.
• Dedication to craft: You see an organization as a living system whose processes can be continuously refined and iterated upon. Others may specialize in certain subject matter, but your craft is operations.
• Organized: you are borderline obsessive when it comes to organization. Others may think you make it look effortless, but you know that the “secret” is a combination of detail orientation, excellent task management, and creative problem solving.
• Team player: Your personal integrity results in an honest and open working >
• Database oriented: We build many company workflows and house many documents inside Notion. A familiarity with database principles (whether from a past in software engineering, data analysis, or data entry) is a huge plus.
• Web3 oriented: You may already have “fallen down the blockchain rabbit hole” and have some familiarity with how blockchains, smart contracts, and decentralized applications play together. You either have deep interest in how The Graph fits into this technical stack or are eager to learn.
