Senior Strategy and Operations Manager

Ctrl Alt is designing and operating the on chain infrastructure powering digital capital markets globally. We bring together a unique blend of expertise in financial markets and cutting edge in house technology to deliver tailored, compliant solutions in the alternative assets space. Since launching in 2022, we've tokenized over $1.2bn in assets across real estate, private credit, funds, litigation finance and more.

We're building a high performance, people first culture where ambitious individuals can thrive. We move fast, think big and hold ourselves to a high bar, while keeping things collaborative, open and genuinely fun. At Ctrl Alt ideas win on merit, teams work closely with leadership, and everyone has a voice in shaping what we build next.

We believe that hard work should come with real reward. You won't just join a company - you'll help build one. Last year alone, we grew from 17 to 50 people, and this year we're going faster and further. That means real responsibility, meaningful impact, and the opportunity to grow alongside a company that's redefining the future of finance through the tokenization of alternative assets.

If you're excited by scale up energy, ownership, and the chance to help shape both a business and a culture, Ctrl Alt is where you can do the most rewarding work of your career.

What's Involved

We are seeking a driven, high ownership Senior Strategy & Operations Manager to join the Product Team at a moment of hyper growth. This is not a maintenance role, you will be joining a business that is building new products, launching new structures, and scaling in real time.

The role is suited to someone who wants responsibility and is motivated by building things quickly and properly. While we expect strong operational and strategic capability, the single most important attribute we are looking for is drive. The willingness to take ownership, make decisions, and be accountable for outcomes.

This role will work closely with Product, Engineering, Compliance, and the wider business to turn strategy into execution, and execution into scalable, repeatable operations.

What you'll be doing

• Build and scale operational foundations: Design and implement robust, compliant, and scalable operational models to support products, funds, and tokenisation initiatives from launch through growth.
• Drive execution in a fast moving environment: Own cross functional initiatives end to end, proactively identifying dependencies and blockers and driving delivery across Product, Engineering, Compliance, and Commercial teams.
• Optimise, standardise, and automate for scale: Identify operational bottlenecks and inefficiencies, introducing standardisation and automation that enables growth without unnecessary complexity or friction.
• Act as a connective layer across the business: Ensure end to end alignment by working closely with Product, Engineering, Compliance, Finance, and Business teams to support operational readiness and delivery.
• Create clarity through documentation and communication: Maintain clear, structured documentation and engage stakeholders with confident, pragmatic communication to align on priorities, timelines, and expectations.

Requirements Must Haves

• 4+ years' experience in strategy, operations, product, consulting, or a related role within financial services, or a technology driven environment.
• Strong analytical and problem solving skills, with the ability to turn complex issues into practical solutions.
• Experience building or improving operational processes, particularly in fast growing or early stage environments.
• A proven ability to work cross functionally and drive initiatives forward without needing constant direction.

Nice to Haves

• Exposure to investment funds, alternative assets, capital markets, or fund operations.

Most importantly, you bring:

• High levels of drive, ownership, and accountability.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and under pressure.
• A strong desire to build, improve, and scale systems rather than simply run them.
• The motivation to be part of an ambitious business where the pace is high and expectations are real.

We expect this role to attract experienced operators, but we are equally open to exceptional, less experienced candidates who demonstrate the right mindset and capability.

Join a scaling fintech building the next generation of investment banking. You'll work at the intersection of capital markets and cutting edge blockchain technology, helping drive and shape the future of financial infrastructure.
