What You'll Do

• Operate as Founder's technical right hand. You will manage his context, his priorities, and his follow-through. You are available when it matters. You anticipate what he needs before he asks for it.
• Turn chaos into clarity. Parity moves fast. You will work in an environment of competing half-thoughts, ambiguous mandates, and shifting priorities. Your job is to impose structure without killing momentum, and to spot the counterproductive plays before they cause damage.
• Think long. You will not just solve today's problem. You will map the second- and third-order consequences of decisions being made now and make sure the right people are thinking about them.
• Lead cross-functional problem solving. When something falls between departments, you pick it up. You have the technical credibility to engage with engineering leadership and the operational instinct to get things moving.
• Own the leadership rhythm. OKRs, technical reviews, decision-making cadences, you design and run the operating system for Gavin's leadership team.
• Manage up, across, and down. You will work with C-Level and Directors across different Functions of the business. Each is different. You will adapt your communication style to each of them without losing your own voice.

Your Skills

• Technically credible. You have a background in engineering or engineering management. You can hold your own with a CTO, challenge timelines credibly, and evaluate the viability of new technical initiatives. You do not need to be a Blockchain Engineer, but you understand the ecosystem well enough to distinguish substance from hype.
• A sophisticated operator. You have run complex, cross-functional programmes at a senior level, ideally having led a team or founded a company. You know how to create clarity from ambiguity, manage without authority, and drive decisions in organisations that do not move in straight lines. Experience managing leaders, including more junior managers, is a strong signal.
• Exceptional communicator. Not just clear, adaptive. You can shift registers between a demanding Founder, Functions Leads, and a junior team member. You know what each person needs to hear and how they need to hear it.
• A long-term thinker. You are not a damage limitation operator. You think about what the decisions being made today mean in 12 to 24 months. You bring that perspective into rooms where others are only looking at this quarter.
• Believes in Web3. You do not need deep protocol experience. But you need to understand why this technology matters and be genuinely curious about where it is going. Candidates who are indifferent to the mission do not last here.
• Thrives in ambiguity. Parity is not a machine. It is a high-conviction, fast-moving organisation with a demanding founder. You find that energising, not exhausting.
• Academically strong. A high-calibre degree matters. If you have one, lead with it. If you don't, your track record needs to be exceptional.
