About Mesh

At Mesh, our mission is to enable consumers to pay and be paid with any asset. Today, trillions of dollars in tokenized assets exist but remain largely unusable for everyday commerce.

Backed by leading investors like SBI, Money Forward, Paradigm, Dragonfly, Galaxy, and PayPal Ventures, we are building the infrastructure for the next era of the global economy. Join us!

Overview

Mesh is building the financial operating system that connects exchanges, wallets, and payment flows across the digital asset ecosystem. As we scale, we're looking for a Chief of Staff to be the CEO's closest strategic partner and the executive who makes the company run.

Reporting directly to our Founder and CEO, you'll own how Mesh operates. You'll set the operating rhythm, drive the company's highest-priority initiatives, and oversee the Business Operations function.

• Lead board and investor readiness, including quarterly board updates, exec summaries, and company performance reporting built on a single source of truth for key metrics
• Oversee the Business Operations function, partnering with the Biz Ops lead to set priorities, remove blockers, and raise the bar for how cross-functional work is scoped, run, and measured
• Drive CEO special projects end to end, from new markets and strategic partnerships (exchanges, wallets, on/off-ramp partners) to pricing and unit economics
• Hold the executive team accountable to company goals, surface risks early, and resolve the cross-functional issues that sit between teams
• Partner with People on org design, executive hiring, internal communications, and culture
• Build the systems, dashboards, and AI-powered workflows that make company performance easy to see and let Mesh scale efficiently

• A proven people leader who has managed teams and overseen multiple functions
• Has owned (not just supported) a company operating cadence: planning, OKRs, exec reviews, and board preparation at a scaling startup
• Executive presence and sound ju

In-Office Expectations

Employees based in our San Francisco, New York, and Bangalore hubs are expected to work from the office at least 40% of the time (approximately two days per week). This expectation may vary slightly depending on role, team, and business needs. Certain roles that require closer cross-functional collaboration or operational support may have additional in-office requirements, which will be discussed during the interview process. Our hybrid approach is designed to balance meaningful in-person collaboration, team building, and real-time decision-making with the flexibility to work remotely. We believe this structure supports strong execution while preserving autonomy and focus time.

We believe great work happens when people feel valued and supported. That starts with competitive salary and equity that grows as you and the company grow, plus comprehensive health coverage for you and your family. We offer unlimited PTO—and we mean it. Take the time you need to recharge and show up at your best.

We're invested in your growth with a dedicated budget for courses, conferences, and certifications. Work from wherever you're most productive with our remote-friendly approach, and count on having the top-tier tools and equipment you need to do exceptional work.
