With the evolving landscape of digital threats and an increasing volume of sophisticated attacks by malicious actors, we have a security policy mandating all new hires complete an in-person onboarding process - no exceptions. Security is our foundation and we prioritize physical identity verification and secure IT setup. While our security and IT logistics require physical presence to protect our infrastructure from sophisticated global threats, this move is equally about our Village culture. We believe that a laptop can be shipped, but our culture cannot.
As the Director of Government Solutions GTM & Operations, you will be the primary engine driving growth and operational excellence for our public sector business. Reporting directly to the Head of Government Solutions, you will serve as a strategic advisor to public sector clients. You will bridge the gap between complex digital asset infrastructure and the mission-critical needs of law enforcement, national security and regulatory agencies. This is a high-visibility role where you will not only lead client delivery and GTM operational excellence but also act as the face of our brand.
This role demands fluency in both government operations and digital asset infrastructure. You must be able to execute independently, influence across teams without formal authority, and operate in high-performance, ambiguous environments. You’ll be responsible for leading solution design, working alongside Legal, Product, Engineering, and other teams. You’ll know when to involve other business lines (e.g. trading, staking, etc.) to offer clients the full strength of our platform.
You’ll partner closely with our Head of Government Solutions, who owns strategic public sector relationships and market expansion efforts. Together, you’ll create a one-two punch of government success, strategy and deployment in seamless coordination.
