About The Position

Ostium is on a simple mission: make it possible for anyone with a digital wallet to trade stocks, commodities, currencies, and crypto with full transparency. No brokers, no freezes, no hidden spreads. We’re replacing the opaque, offshore brokerage model with a transparent, permissionless trading stack built onchain. Every trade, deposit, and withdrawal is verifiable through open, auditable code. We’ve raised $27.9M+ from General Catalyst, Jump, LocalGlobe, Susquehanna (SIG), GSR, Alliance DAO, Soma Capital, Balaji Srinivasan, Meltem Demirors, and others. You'll work directly with our COO and Strategic Initiatives lead across finance, exchange and market data vendors, fundraising, legal coordination, and institutional relationships.

Requirements

• 3+ years in investment banking, consulting, or a high-growth startup
• Strong modeling and spreadsheet skills
• Clear communicator with counsel, banks, accountants, and institutions
• Comfortable owning problems end to end without a playbook
• You use AI tools in your daily work
• You love markets.

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

• Own our vendor relationships with some of the largest TradFi exchanges in the world, and market data providers

• Own financial operations across entities and jurisdictions
• Craft and execute appropriate incentives to manage capital with partner entities
• Run the operational side of fundraising: data rooms, diligence requests, investor updates, closing mechanics, legal and documentation review
• Work with outside counsel on contracts, entity admin, and compliance
