Executive Assistant & Office Manager

Ostium is on a simple mission: make it possible for anyone with a digital wallet to trade stocks, commodities, currencies, and crypto with full transparency. No brokers, no freezes, no hidden spreads. We’re replacing the opaque, offshore brokerage model with a transparent, permissionless trading stack built onchain. Every trade, deposit, and withdrawal is verifiable through open, auditable code. We’ve raised $27.9M+ from General Catalyst, Jump, LocalGlobe, Susquehanna (SIG), GSR, Alliance DAO, Soma Capital, Balaji Srinivasan, Meltem Demirors, and others.

We are looking for an experienced and highly resourceful Executive Assistant & Office Manager to support the executive team. This is a high-trust, high-visibility role at the center of the company — you will be the person the executive team relies on to protect their time, maintain their focus, and ensure the office runs flawlessly.

The right candidate has supported C-suite executives or senior management in a fast-paced, high-standards environment and brings the judgment, discretion, and proactive instincts to operate with minimal oversight. In addition to supporting the executives directly, this person will work closely with Ostium's Operations team.

Executive Support

• Own and manage the executive team's complex calendars, inboxes, and correspondence — prioritizing ruthlessly and closing loops without being asked

• Manage incoming mail and deliveries

• Support employee onboarding, team events, and off-sites

• Manage office budgets, invoices, and service contracts

• Partner with the operations team to ensure seamless day-to-day support across the office

• Proven track record managing complex calendars and travel logistics for senior executives

• Exceptionally organized, detail-oriented, and proactive — you solve problems before they surface

• Polished communicator across all mediums; high EQ and strong relationship-building skills

• Calm under pressure, discreet, and trustworthy with sensitive information

• Genuinely excited to be in the NYC office five days a week

• Proficient in Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, and standard expense management tools; quick to adopt new systems
