Head of Operations / Chief Operating Officer Company: Alias Network Location: Remote, Global Salary: $180,000 rising to $360,000 post-strategic round, plus significant token allocation and performance bonuses Stage: Pre-launch / Pre-TGE

This is a serious role for a serious operator. The founding team has built the product, assembled the plan, and lined up the launch. What we need now is the person who makes it all run. If you have taken an early-stage company from chaos to shipped, on time and on budget, and you are looking for the right vehicle, this might be it.

What Alias is
Alias is a Web3 identity and reputation protocol. We are building infrastructure the space has needed for years and does not yet have at scale. We are pre-launch, the product works, and we are approaching our token launch window. That is all we are sharing publicly. If you are the right candidate you will want to know more, and we will tell you everything at first interview under NDA.

What this job actually is
You are the operator. While others build the product and run the campaign, you run the company. You own execution, delivery, and the operating cadence. You turn a plan into shipped milestones and a distributed team into a machine that hits them. You manage the budget, the burn, the contracts, and the vendors. You hire, you coordinate, you hold people accountable, and you see around corners before things slip. You are the person the founders hand something to and stop worrying about. The strategy exists. The vision exists. Your job is to make it happen, on time, on budget, without drama.

What you own
Execution and delivery across the whole company. Team operations: hiring, onboarding, coordination, performance. Budget and cash discipline: burn, contracts, vendor and agency management, financial operations. Systems and process: the operational backbone that lets a lean team punch far above its weight. Cross-functional alignment across engineering, marketing, growth, and compliance. Coordination with counsel and advisors as the corporate and regulatory structure is built out. You keep commitments from slipping and you keep the machine moving.

What we are looking for
You have run operations for an early-stage or high-growth company, ideally through a period of intense scaling. You have owned delivery, managed teams, and held a budget. You are financially disciplined and detail-obsessed. You are comfortable with ambiguity, speed, and a tight runway, and you make order out of it rather than needing it handed to you. You do not need to have been a COO before. You need to have done this job before, at whatever title, and be ready to do it again at a bigger scale. Crypto or Web3 experience is a strong plus. Experience taking a product or token through launch is a major plus.

What we are not looking for
A strategist, a marketer, or a salesperson looking for an operations title. We have enormous respect for those careers. This is a different skill set. This role is for someone whose track record is execution and delivery, not narrative and positioning. If your instinct in a crisis is to run the plan rather than reframe it, you are who we want.

The compensation
We are paying to attract the best operator, not to test the market. You receive a founding-team-level package: significant salary scaling with the strategic round, a significant token allocation with C-suite vesting terms, and a performance structure in tokens and cash tied to execution and growth milestones. Full detail shared at first interview. This is a founding-team-level engagement and you will be treated and compensated accordingly.
