Tens of millions of people all over the world use Phantom to access global markets that never close, including perpetuals, prediction markets, tokenized assets, stablecoins and memes. Phantom users are able to discover the markets that matter and the cultural moments that shape them, building conviction through real-time data and the verified performance of top traders. With self-custody and access to open networks at its core, Phantom lets them control their financial moves in the same app they use to safely store or spend money worldwide.

Phantom has reached #1 in Google Play's finance category and consistently ranks in the top 50 apps across all categories. Phantom partners with many of the most trusted and influential names in finance like Hyperliquid, Stripe, Kalshi and Visa, to make the most popular and innovative financial products accessible to everyone.

We are around 180 people, fully remote, backed by a $150M Series C investment from a16z, Sequoia Capital and Paradigm.

Our most active users deserve a relationship with Phantom, not a ticket queue. We are launching an invite only VIP program in app messaging with a real person, enhanced support, and exclusive experiences. You will be its first dedicated hire.

As a VIP Account Manager, you are the first point of contact for VIP members inside the app. You will own these relationships end to end: welcoming new members, resolving issues personally, pulling in support and engineering when a case needs them, and staying with it until it is closed. You will help shape the playbook for the team we build around you as the program scales toward round the clock coverage. You will work closely with the VIP program lead, support, marketing, product, and design.

Responsibilities

Be the personal, named contact for VIP members in our in-app messaging hub

Own member relationships end to end: onboarding and welcome, proactive check-ins, and follow through on every issue until it is resolved.

Handle high stakes situations such as compromised wallets, missing funds, and large transactions with urgency, precision, and discretion.

Triage and escalate: bring in support agents, engineering, or leadership when a case warrants it, and own the communication back to the member.

Meet members where they are: in-app chat first, plus email, X, Telegram, and Discord.

Coordinate the moments beyond support: welcome gifts, event experiences, and early access to new features.

Turn conversations into leverage: channel member feedback to product, build playbooks, and help define the response time and satisfaction standards for the VIP team.

Help design and scale the program from a small founding cohort to thousands of members, and eventually 24/7 coverage.

Qualifications

4+ years in premium or VIP support, account management, or customer success, ideally at a sports betting platform, crypto exchange, wallet, brokerage, or fintech app.

Deep crypto fluency: you understand self custody and can navigate multiple chains, reading a block explorer, tracing a transaction, and telling an L2 gas issue apart from a bug.

Exceptional written communication: warm, concise, and human, even under pressure.

Absolute discretion: for high value users, privacy and trust are the product.

Security first instincts: you know the social engineering patterns targeting crypto users, and you would never ask anyone for a seed phrase.

Comfort with ambiguity and ownership: you are the first hire in a new function and will build much of the process yourself.

Time zone flexibility: our members are global and markets do not close, so some evening and weekend availability is part of the job.

Nice to have: experience serving high net worth clients at an exchange or brokerage.

Nice to have: hands on experience with Zendesk and AI support tooling.
