About Plume
Plume is a public, EVM‑compatible blockchain built for Real World Assets (RWAs). We go beyond tokenization — enabling assets to be used like crypto: stake, swap, lend, borrow, loop, and more.
By integrating institutional‑grade assets with DeFi tools, Plume makes private credit, ETFs, commodities, and other traditionally inaccessible assets permissionless, composable, and usable at a click. Our mission: bridge traditional finance and crypto through adoption without sacrificing transparency or user experience.
We're hiring a Strategic Finance & Operations Associate to support mission-critical financial and operational work. You’ll report directly to the Head of Finance and work cross-functionally with leadership across the organization. This role will play a key part in evaluating new initiatives, supporting budgeting and forecasting, and ensuring smooth operational execution across our core entities (Labs, Foundation, and partners).
You should be highly analytical, comfortable with ambiguity, and energized by a fast-paced, crypto-native environment.
