Lead the public sector business at Anchorage Digital by driving growth and operational excellence, advising clients on digital asset infrastructure while managing cross-functional teams to enhance custody procedures and compliance frameworks.

As the Director of Government Solutions GTM & Operations, you will be the primary engine driving growth and operational excellence for our public sector business. Reporting directly to the Head of Government Solutions, you will serve as a strategic advisor to public sector clients. You will bridge the gap between complex digital asset infrastructure and the mission-critical needs of law enforcement, national security and regulatory agencies. This is a high-visibility role where you will not only lead client delivery and GTM operational excellence but also act as the face of our brand.
This role demands fluency in both government operations and digital asset infrastructure. You must be able to execute independently, influence across teams without formal authority, and operate in high-performance, ambiguous environments. You’ll be responsible for leading solution design, working alongside Legal, Product, Engineering, and other teams. You’ll know when to involve other business lines (e.g. trading, staking, etc.) to offer clients the full strength of our platform.
You’ll partner closely with our Head of Government Solutions, who owns strategic public sector relationships and market expansion efforts. Together, you’ll create a one-two punch of government success, strategy and deployment in seamless coordination.

Communication and Influence:

- Represents the company with credibility and clarity in agency meetings and high-profile forums.
- Synthesizes complex public sector needs into actionable roadmaps for internal execution.
- Partners effectively across product, policy, and GTM functions to represent institutional client interests.
You may be a fit for this role if you have:
- 10 - 15 years of experience, including at least 3 years in crypto or digital assets, and familiarity with institutional-grade custody solutions.
- Program Management experience working with a U.S. federal agency that has launched a digital asset program.
- A track record of working across government, law enforcement, and or regulatory institutions to drive implementation of digital assets strategy, policy, and or operations.
- A willingness to travel for onsite support to high-priority clients across their digital assets functional requirements.
- Experience in leading, drafting, and delivering responses to government RFP/RFI submissions.
- High-performance orientation with the ability to operate independently, navigate ambiguity, and deliver consistently.
Although not a requirement, bonus points if:
- You were emotionally moved by the soundtrack to Hamilton, which chronicles the founding of a new financial system. :)
