LayerZero The Future is Omnichain. 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.

We are funded by the best investors in the world including: a16z, Sequoia, PayPal, Binance Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Uniswap Labs, Circle Ventures, Delphi Digital, and many more. ABOUT THE ROLE We are looking for a Director of Operations to design and scale the systems that keep LayerZero running at its best. This role blends strategy and execution: you’ll build the internal frameworks, rhythms, and policies that ensure clarity, alignment, and accountability across the company. You’ll partner with leadership to translate priorities into execution, drive decision-making visibility, and support a high-performance, in-person culture as we continue to grow. WHAT YOU’LL DO

Build Systems: Design and implement operational frameworks that enable consistent, repeatable execution across teams. Drive Clarity: Create reporting, dashboards, and decision frameworks that make company-wide goals, progress, and accountability visible. Strategic Project Management (Internal): Lead internal initiatives that cut across multiple functions, ensuring execution and alignment. Cross-functional Alignment: Act as the connective tissue between product, engineering, and go-to-market, ensuring priorities are clear and well-resourced. Culture & Execution Rhythms: Establish policies, cadences, and systems that reinforce a high-performance, in-person culture. Operational Infrastructure: Oversee office operations, vendor relationships, and internal compliance requirements. Leadership Partner: Work closely with our Founders and Exec team to identify bottlenecks, forecast resource needs, and implement scalable solutions.

ABOUT YOU

8+ years in operations, business strategy, or related roles, with at least 4+ years in a leadership position. Track record of building and scaling systems that drive cross-functional alignment and operational excellence. Strong background in strategic project management, with the ability to focus on internal execution vs. tactical task-tracking. Experience designing reporting frameworks, KPIs, and decision-making structures that provide clarity for executives and teams.
