Operations Associate, Foundations

Operations Associate, Foundations London  |  ht.digital Our Foundations team handles governance, token issuance, compliance, treasury management, financial reporting, and daily operations for a portfolio of innovative digital asset clients. We're looking for a proactive, highly organised Operations Associate to manage day-to-day operations and project delivery across multiple engagements, with a strong focus on compliance and record-keeping. What you'll do

• Run daily operational tasks for a range of digital asset entities, ensuring timely and accurate execution.
• Plan and track deliverables across client engagements, keeping internal and external stakeholders informed.
• Manage compliance obligations alongside legal teams and directors: counterparty onboarding, regulatory filings, and periodic reviews.
• Keep records accurate, well-structured, and audit-ready across all engagements, from compliance files to onboarding documentation.
• Spot inefficiencies in operational workflows and implement technology to optimise workstreams.
• Maintain and develop the operational playbook, keeping processes documented and current. What we're looking for
• Experience in operations or project management, ideally in a fast-paced, technology-driven environment.
• A STEM background is highly desirable; we value analytical rigour and structured problem-solving.
• Meticulous record-keeping and organisational skills, with the ability to manage competing deadlines without compromising quality.
• An understanding of finance and accounting concepts (reporting, reconciliations, audit requirements); enough to grasp what clients need and why, without owning those workflows.
• Familiarity with KYB/AML and wallet screening tools such as Sumsub and blockchain analytics platforms; hands-on experience is a plus, but you should understand what these tools do and why they matter.
• Strong interest in crypto and blockchain; direct experience is a plus, not a requirement.
• A clear communicator, comfortable with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.
