Junior Operations Associate (Part-Time)

About The Company

Our client is building a next-generation protocol for decentralized event markets where real-world outcomes are tradable as onchain tokens. By combining continuous pricing, objective settlement, and modular market mechanics, the protocol enables traders to express conviction, hedge scenarios, and engage with events in real time. This is a fast-moving, high-agency environment where operational excellence is critical as every decision impacts live markets, event outcomes, and user trust.

Position Overview

We are seeking a Junior Operations Associate to own critical operational and research functions across the protocol. You will monitor live markets, maintain operational integrity, and ensure event outcomes are accurately resolved. This role demands ownership, precision, and the ability to contribute meaningfully from day one, while collaborating closely with product, engineering, and research teams.

You will help shape operational workflows, enhance market processes, and support the growth of the protocol's infrastructure. Exceptional candidates can grow into senior operations, research, or strategy roles over time.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end daily market operations, including monitoring markets, resolving events accurately, and managing data feeds
• Maintain operational documentation and workflows for event resolution, market rules, and data standards
• Conduct structured research on markets, competitors, and event viability; synthesize findings into actionable recommendations
• Ensure quality assurance across event listings, market descriptions, resolution criteria, and research references
• Identify operational inefficiencies and implement improvements with clear follow-through
• Participate in cross-functional discussions and contribute insights that inform product and market strategy

What We're Looking For

This role is ideal for detail-oriented professionals with a passion for decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain technology. You should excel at managing multiple priorities, communicating clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and taking ownership of outcomes. Strong research skills, analytical thinking, and familiarity with event-based markets or prediction protocols are highly valuable.

Why Join

Work at the intersection of protocol development and real-world event markets. You'll gain deep operational expertise in a cutting-edge DeFi protocol while building meaningful relationships with product and engineering teams. This is an opportunity to grow rapidly in a high-agency, fast-moving environment where your contributions directly impact protocol success and user experience.
