About Us

Apps on Sei benefit from both the performance of web2 and the decentralization and sovereignty of web3. For more detailed information visit Sei's official website.
About the role
The Sei Development Foundation is seeking a highly strategic Chief Operating Officer. The COO is the operational ED, a seasoned executive who owns the company's day-to-day business operations, translates strategy into execution, and is accountable for the performance of core business functions. Where the ED focuses externally (fundraising, vision, key partnerships), the COO runs the internal engine, leading operations, people, finance, compliance, and is accountable for key results.
Responsibilities
Business Operations Leadership
Own the operational performance of the company, including delivery, finance, operations, compliance, legal, and people operations
Set and hold accountability for OKRs and KPIs across all functions
Build scalable processes as the company moves from early-stage to growth-stage
Team Leadership
Directly manage functional leads across operations, finance, legal/compliance, and potentially product or BD
Drive organizational design decisions in partnership with the ED
Recruit, develop, and retain senior talent across the business
Financial & Compliance Oversight
Own the operating budget and P&L in partnership with finance
Ensure regulatory and compliance requirements are met across all jurisdictions - especially important in a web3 context with evolving regulatory frameworks across the US, EU, Asia, and emerging markets
Oversee relationships with legal counsel and key vendors
Strategy Execution
Partner with ED to translate vision and business objectives into operational roadmaps
Lead post-investment or post-partnership integration efforts
Represent the company externally with institutional partners and regulators where appropriate
Web3-Specific Scope
Oversee tokenomics operations, treasury management, and on-chain governance processes where applicable
Manage exchange listing operations, custodian relationships, and on/off-ramp partnerships
Ensure cross-border payment and settlement operations are compliant and efficient
What You'll Bring
10+ years of experience in operations, with at least 4+ in a senior leadership role
Track record of scaling a startup through a growth inflection point (Series A → B, or equivalent)
Deep familiarity with web3 infrastructure, DeFi, or fintech regulatory environments
Experience managing globally distributed teams, ideally with exposure to EOR structures and multi-jurisdiction compliance
Strong financial acumen; you can read a P&L and challenge a budget
