Director of Crypto Operations

Webull is a leading digital brokerage platform built on next generation global infrastructure. At Webull, we believe that everyone should have an equal opportunity to control their own financial future. Our vision has always been to empower individual investors with the tools and resources they need to succeed financially. This commitment remains at the heart of everything we do. From low-fee trading and robust market data to advanced analytical tools, we are committed to providing a seamless, top-tier trading experience.

About The Role & Team

Webull Pay is the digital asset/crypto arm of Webull Group, empowering users to buy, sell, transfer, and manage cryptocurrencies through a secure and intuitive platform. As part of the broader Webull ecosystem, we are committed to building trust in the digital asset economy through operational excellence, transparency, and customer-first innovation.

We are seeking an exceptionally driven and visionary Director of Crypto Operations to spearhead the comprehensive operational scaling, development and product evolution of our cryptocurrency ecosystem. This is a high impact, "builder" role designed for a leader who thrives on owning the full vertical, from high-level strategy to the granular mechanics of US operations.

We are looking for a rare "full stack" executive: someone who possesses the deep operational discipline to manage the books and records and with a creative vision to conceptualize a product. You will be the primary architect of our US crypto operational infrastructure, ensuring that our digital asset solutions are robust, compliant, and seamlessly integrated.

In This Role, You Will

• Manage all US operations, ensuring that every trade and movement of assets is accounted for with precision.
• Serve as the central link between the engineering, legal, and finance teams. You must be able to translate complex operational needs into technical requirements and vice versa.
• Lead projects globally to scale Webull’s crypto footprint, ensuring that US operations align with our international expansion efforts, including those in Canada, Brazil and beyond.
• Have comfortability with software development and able to communicate as such. You will be deeply involved with the technology teams to ensure the product architecture supports scalable operations.
• Establish robust risk management protocols and ensure all products adhere to the highest standards of regulatory compliance and security.
• Own the entire product journey from "napkin sketch" to post-trade settlement. This includes ideation, technical scoping, and overseeing the build in constant collaboration with the technology teams.
• Manage the "back-end" of the product launch, ensuring that settlements, reconciliations, and books and records are architected correctly from day one.
• Work in lockstep with the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) and Product Teams to help ship meaningful products quickly while maintaining institutional-grade operational integrity.
• Possess a deep understanding of blockchain fundamentals, smart contracts, and decentralized ecosystems (DeFi/DAOs). Must demonstrate a strategic grasp of cryptographic security and the architectural transition from centralized platforms to decentralized, transparent models.

The Skills You Bring

• 7-10+ years of experience in Operations or Product Leadership within FinTech, Crypto, or Trading.
• Strong ability to communicate with engineering teams regarding APIs, database structures, and blockchain integrations.
• Deep experience in back-office functions, specifically reconciliations and financial reporting for digital assets.
• Examples of products you have launched from initial concept through operational maturity.
• Comfortable in fast-paced, "builder" environment where you are expected to be both a strategist and an individual contributor when necessary.

What Makes You Stand Out

• "Black belt" in financial operations. You understand the flow of funds, the intricacies of ledger systems, and the necessity of airtight books and records.
• You have a deep understanding of the crypto space, retail-facing products, Web3, and the specific technological hurdles of digital asset markets.
• You can bridge the gap between the C-suite, technical team, and regulatory bodies without losing anything in translation.
• Possessing a "General Contractor" mindset. You can envision the "house" (Product idea), and participate in drawing blueprints (Scoping), overseeing the construction (Building/Tech), and handling the keys and accounting (Settlements/Reconciliation).
