Strategic Finance Associate

The Monad Foundation is a team of dedicated ecosystem and community builders who are on a mission to massively grow the impact of decentralized tech. We believe that the Monad blockchain--the performant and parallel EVM Layer 1--will help decentralized apps eat the world.

The Monad Foundation is looking for a Finance Associate to play a critical role in overseeing the financial health and operational efficiency of the Monad Foundation. You’ll work closely with our Director of Finance and cross-functional teams to help manage day-to-day financial operations, support strategic projects, and build the systems we need as we scale. If you are someone who has strong FP&A and accounting fundamentals, a solid interest in web3, and a propensity for taking initiative and getting things done without being asked, then this is the job for you.

This role can be based in the New York office (hybrid).

• Analyze financial results and track performance vs. budget to provide insights and recommendations to management

• Independently maintain operating model, continually incorporating strategic plans for the organization

• Own the numbers: you will partner with external vendors (e.g., bookkeepers, tax advisors, auditors, etc.) to ensure accurate accounting and compliant reporting. Expect involvement in day-to-day accounting, including reconciliations, journal entries, and monthly close processes across both fiat and crypto assets

• Manage cash flow and optimize working capital by managing purchasing, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll

• Help track and manage treasury, including fiat and crypto holdings

• 3-6 years of experience in investment banking, public accounting and/or in-house finance (e.g., corporate finance, FP&A, financial operations, etc.)

• Strong foundation in financial analysis developed via completion of a structured analyst program (e.g., investment banking, public accounting, consulting, or corporate finance)

• Previous experience building an operational budget, analyzing performance, and reporting on budget variance

• Understanding of accounting principles and financial operations, including monthly close processes

• Highly proficient in Google Sheets and/or Excel; comfort with financial tech stack (e.g., QuickBooks, Ramp, Cryptio, HRIS platforms, etc.)

• Genuinely curious about crypto / Web3 with an openness to learning new tools and frameworks

• Prior professional experience in crypto / Web3

• CPA

• Challenging problems. You’ll work on extremely challenging problems with massive impact.

• Huge opportunity. The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) standard is ubiquitous, but existing EVM-compatible chains are slow and bandwidth-constrained. Monad’s core innovations offer developers the best of both worlds (portability and performance) and are a game-changer for mass user adoption in crypto.

• The right team. You’ll be part of an exceptional and highly-motivated team

• Culture. We’re a lean team working together to achieve very ambitious goals. We are united in our culture of collaboration, low ego, and high-quality output. As an early member of our team, you’ll help continue to shape our culture.

Benefits for full-time employees may include medical, dental, and vision insurance (100% coverage for employees); generous paid time off; paid parental leave; and 10 company-observed holidays.
