Chief of Staff

Ellipsis Labs is a profitable, venture-backed New York-based startup building differentiated products and infrastructure in decentralized finance.

The company developed Phoenix, the leading order book spot exchange on the Solana blockchain, and a top 10 DEX (decentralized exchange) with >$50B in volume since inception in 2023.

Ellipsis Labs is building Atlas, a blockchain for verifiable finance. Verifiable finance enables financial applications to combine the performance of traditional finance with DeFi's transparency.

All roles are in the Ellipsis Labs office in New York City.

The Opportunity

The Chief of Staff position is an ideal role for someone who hopes to play a key role in a profitable, expanding company, with a clear path for professional growth.

This person will act as a key executive thought partner to the founders, Eugene and Jarry. Day to day tasks will vary widely, from office management, event planning, and operations; to strategic and product discussions, internal communications, and payroll.

The ideal person for this role knows that no two days will look quite the same, and embraces the ambiguity that often arises in an early-stage startup. They’re equally comfortable stocking the fridge and researching desirable happy hour locations for Ellipsis’s next event, then hopping on an investor call to discuss company financials 10 minutes later.
