Crypto Operations Specialist

As a Crypto Operations Specialist at dLocal, you will deliver and operate crypto and stablecoin payment flows across LATAM, Africa, and EMEA. This mid-level individual-contributor role sits at the intersection of commercial opportunity, product requirements, and compliance, where you translate approvals into clear operational plans and controlled launches. You'll coordinate partner onboarding, monitor service performance, and maintain visibility of progress, risks, and blockers across global teams.

What you'll do

• Coordinate operational delivery for global provider relationships where there is no local relationship owner, providing project oversight and tracking required inputs for local-partner launches.
• Manage partner onboarding and launch readiness for stablecoin and fiat pay-in, settlement, and payout flows, including action plans, owners, deadlines, and go-live dependencies.
• Work with Product, Treasury and Finance, Compliance, Legal, Delivery, and Local Operations to resolve dependencies and keep launches on track.
• Translate approved regulatory and compliance requirements into delivery tasks, documentation, evidence, and launch controls; coordinate progress and escalate blockers.
• Monitor provider and operational performance, including SLAs, approval rates, settlement timeliness, and incidents; coordinate follow-up and recovery with the appropriate owners.
• Support provider pricing and revenue-share implementation by coordinating operational inputs and documenting approved terms and expected unit economics.
• Maintain a reliable operating tracker or dashboard covering provider and market coverage, launch status, risks, performance, and agreed business metrics, ensuring blockers have clear owners and follow-up dates.
• Provide concise updates on progress, risks, and decisions needed through regular operating reviews.
• Contribute to defining the crypto strategy and translating high-level goals into the team's operational agenda.

What you bring

• Experience in operations, partner delivery, payments, fintech, banking, or a related field.
• Experience coordinating cross-functional projects or external-provider implementations, from requirements gathering through launch and ongoing operations.
• Strong organization and follow-through: you can keep multiple workstreams, actions, owners, and deadlines clear.
• Confidence working with operational data and performance measures, and turning findings into practical follow-up.
• Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to surface risks early and escalate constructively.
• A collaborative, pragmatic approach to working with teams across functions, markets, and time zones.

Nice to have

• Interest in crypto, stablecoins, or digital-asset payments; direct experience in the sector is helpful but not essential.

What we offer

• Flexible work arrangements focused on impact and productivity, with flexible schedules and opportunities to combine self-managed focus time with in-person connection in collaboration hubs depending on your role and location.
• Work from anywhere: team members can work while traveling for up to 3 months every year.
• A referral bonus program rewarding you for recommending ideal candidates.
• Tailored benefits by country.
