About Bybit and this role

Bybit is one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, with a distributed workforce operating across many countries and time zones around the clock. Our people work in a fast-moving, highly regulated industry where speed, trust, and clarity matter every day. This is a new role. As Bybit scales, how people experience the company has to be designed on purpose, not left to chance. The Head of Employee Experience & Innovation will build that experience end to end: the offices we work in, how employees hear from leadership, how we come together, and how engaged and connected people feel.

Manage facilities vendors, service contracts, and office budgets with strong cost discipline.

Partner with IT, Security, and Legal on physical security, access, business continuity, and emergency response.
