Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to document processes, investigate issues, and present findings to teams across different departments.
Ability to use generative AI responsibly while maintaining appropriate human oversight to ensure outputs meet business standards and drive measurable improvements in efficiency, control quality, and documentation.

What makes this role worth considering

The internship offers direct exposure to how cryptocurrency assets are managed at an enterprise level, with mentorship from experienced treasury professionals and collaboration across multiple business functions to improve operational controls and reduce risk.
