Founded in 2024 and headquartered in Manhattan, New York, with locations in Paris and Monaco, we provide daily briefs and deep-dive analysis on rare gems, diamonds, and jewellery — making specialist knowledge transparent, readable, and valuable for a wide audience: scientists, gemmologists, art historians, appraisers, traders, collectors, and connoisseurs. Our content is created by passionate professionals through a multidisciplinary approach spanning crystallography, mineralogy, gemmology, craftsmanship, and the history of art.
Jewellery is about joy. Knowledge makes it brighter.
Why This Engagement Exists
Our world — rare gems, fine jewellery, and high-value collectibles — is one of the oldest alternative asset classes, and today it is converging with the newest one. Across our consulting group's footprint in New York, Paris, and Monaco, we work with collectors and trading partners who hold significant wealth in digital assets, and with international counterparties who prefer crypto-denominated settlement for speed and finality. Our corporate treasury increasingly operates across both fiat and digital rails.
To manage this professionally, the group is launching a dedicated digital assets desk — and we are looking for a senior digital asset treasury operations manager to design, build, and run it under a B2B services agreement.
Please note: this is an independent contractor engagement, not an employment offer. You will operate under a services contract, invoice for your work, and retain the flexibility that comes with contractor status.
The Engagement
As our Digital Asset Treasury Operations Manager, you will be the founding operator of the digital assets desk, working directly with the Founder. You will take operational ownership of the company's corporate digital asset activities: exchange relationships, wallet and custody infrastructure, treasury movements, settlements, and reconciliation. Transaction volumes are significant, which is why we are looking for a seasoned professional with a verifiable track record at institutional scale — not a learner.
Scope of Work
• Set up and run the company's corporate accounts on centralized exchanges and OTC venues: onboarding, verification, limits, fee structures, and ongoing operational management.
• Design and maintain the company's wallet infrastructure: hot and cold storage, multisignature schemes, hardware wallets, institutional custody platforms, approval flows, and access controls.
• Execute and oversee treasury operations: transfers between corporate wallets and entities, rebalancing across venues, and liquidity management across crypto and fiat rails.
• Establish a daily reconciliation discipline for all on-chain and off-chain transactions; investigate and document settlement breaks and discrepancies.
• Build the desk's operational backbone from zero: SOPs, internal controls, security policies, audit trails, and regular reporting to leadership.
• Coordinate with external compliance advisors on KYC/AML frameworks, transaction monitoring, and Travel Rule requirements across our jurisdictions.
• Evaluate, select, and onboard venues, custody solutions, and tooling as the desk scales.
• Advise leadership on operational risks in digital assets: counterparty due diligence, address verification, chain upgrades, forks, and network risks.
What You Bring
• 6+ years of professional experience in crypto operations, digital asset treasury, or settlements — at an exchange, custodian, OTC desk, institutional trading firm, or fintech.
• Deep hands-on experience with centralized exchanges at the corporate/institutional level and with professional wallet infrastructure (multisig, cold storage, custody platforms such as Fireblocks, BitGo, or Anchorage).
• A verifiable track record of high-value transactions at institutional scale — be prepared to walk us through real cases: scale, setups, counterparties, controls, and outcomes.
• Strong on-chain fluency: transaction lifecycle, network selection, fee management, address formats, and operational risks across major networks (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, and others).
• Working knowledge of AML/KYC expectations for digital asset operations in the US and internationally.
• Rigorous reconciliation and reporting skills; strong Excel/Google Sheets; treasury or reconciliation tooling is a plus.
• A security-first mindset and uncompromising attention to detail — you verify every address, counterparty, and approval.
• The autonomy of a senior consultant: you define the processes, document your work, escalate early, and own the outcomes.
• Availability for time-critical operational matters outside standard hours when markets require it, to be reflected in the services agreement.
• Fluent professional English; French is a plus.
Nice to Have
• Hands-on experience with Fireblocks, BitGo, Anchorage, Copper, or similar custody infrastructure.
• Familiarity with fiat rails (SWIFT, SEPA, ACH, wires) and fiat on/off-ramp operations.
• Prior treasury or payments experience in traditional finance.
• SQL or basic scripting for reconciliation automation.
• Certifications such as CAMS, or blockchain analytics training (Chainalysis, TRM).
• Interest in luxury goods, collectibles, and alternative asset classes.
Terms & What We Offer
• Independent contractor engagement (B2B services agreement) — you invoice, we pay on Net-15 terms.
• Compensation: $100–$150/hour or a monthly retainer of $14,000–$20,000, depending on agreed scope and availability. Performance-based bonus can be added to the contract after the first quarter.
• Initial 6-month term, with a clear intention to extend into a long-term engagement — or convert to a full-time role by mutual agreement.
• Fully remote within the United States, flexible schedule built around operational needs.
• Founding-level ownership: the desk, its processes, and its security standards will be your design.
• Direct collaboration with the Founder — short decisions, no bureaucracy.
Interview Process
Our process: intro call with our People team → operations deep-dive with the Founder → practical case discussion → reference checks → offer. All interviews are held by video call.
Please note: we will never ask you to make any payment, purchase anything, install software, share private keys or seed phrases, or perform any transaction at any stage of the hiring process.
