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 Role

The Monad Foundation is looking for a Strategic Finance Associate to play a critical role in overseeing the financial health and operational efficiency of the Monad Foundation. You'll report to our Director of Finance and work cross-functionally to help manage day-to-day financial operations, support strategic projects, and build the systems we need as we scale.

• Superstar spreadsheet skills
• Comfort with financial statements and basic accounting principles
• Solid interest in web3
• Propensity for taking the initiative and getting things done proactively

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

What You Will Do

• 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
• Perform ad hoc analyses of different financial trends, deep diving into specific areas of interest
• Manage cash flow and optimize working capital by managing expenses, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll
• Help track and manage treasury, including fiat and crypto holdings
• Partner with external accounting advisors and vendors to ensure accurate and compliant accounting and reporting

Who You Are

• Previous experience building an operational budget, analyzing performance, and reporting on budget variance
• Highly proficient in Google Sheets and/or Excel

• Prior professional experience in crypto / web3

Why Work with Us

• Challenging problems. You'll tackle deeply complex and technically demanding problems, with autonomy and impact.
• Endless Opportunity for Impact. The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) standard is ubiquitous, but existing EVM-compatible chains are slow and bandwidth-constrained. Monad's core innovations offer developers and founders the best of both worlds (portability and performance) and are a game-changer to power global on-chain finance.
• The right team. You'll be part of a world class team, who are exceptional and highly-motivated.

Build a standout application

For the Strategic Finance Partner at Monad Foundation, reviewers look for concise evidence over buzzwords. Mirror the language of the posting sparingly, quantify support or delivery outcomes, and show how you handled ambiguity, time-zone collaboration and user empathy. Keep your resume to impact, keep your cover note to one page, and link to artifacts — tickets resolved, docs shipped, dashboards owned — that prove you can operate in a fast-moving Web3 team. Prepare to discuss a time you turned a confusing user report into a clear fix and how you measure quality in support and operations.

Web3 hiring values reliability: on-time follow-through, clear writing, and a track record of improving runbooks and tooling. Treat the application as a work sample. For interviews, be ready to walk through how you prioritize across time zones, handle a difficult user, and decide when to escalate versus resolve directly. Show how you document decisions so the next teammate benefits.

In a distributed Web3 org, trust builds through written clarity. Use the cover note to demonstrate it. Add links to public work, keep formatting scannable, and close with a clear ask. Hiring managers skim — make impact obvious in the first half-page.

Career growth in Web3 rewards continuous learning. Follow protocol changelogs, practice with testnets, and contribute to open issues. Small, consistent contributions compound into credibility more than one-off credentials.
