Overview
Kai is seeking an experienced Project Manager to drive execution across cross-functional initiatives spanning investment operations, product development, investor relations, marketing, and technology. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, brings structure to ambiguity, and can manage multiple concurrent workstreams without losing attention to detail.

- Stakeholder Communication: Provide clear project updates, risk assessments, and escalation when needed to senior leadership.
- Process Optimization: Identify inefficiencies and implement improved workflows, documentation, and project governance standards.
- Tool Ownership: Manage project tracking and reporting through Monday.com (or similar platforms), ensuring transparency across teams.
- Ad Hoc Strategic Support: Support leadership with special projects as the business scales.
Requirements
Qualifications
- Experience: 5+ years of professional project management experience, preferably within financial services, asset management, fintech, or a fast-growing regulated environment.
- Project Management Skillset: Proven ability to manage multiple complex initiatives simultaneously.
- Tool Proficiency: Strong experience with project management software (Monday.com, Asana, Jira, or equivalent) and MS Office.
- Organizational Strength: Highly organized, detail-oriented, and process-driven.
- Communication Skills: Clear, confident communicator able to engage with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Mindset: Proactive, adaptable, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
Benefits
Kai Volatility Advisors offers a comprehensive benefits package including health care, paid time off, and fully stocked kitchen.
