Oceans XYZ matches incredible operational talent in Sri Lanka with world-class startups across the globe.

Our clients are Founders, CEOs, and C-Suite Executives in early-stage tech startups, global VC funds, creative agencies, and rapidly-scaling small businesses who need a high-impact right hand for the long haul.

If you're hungry for an opportunity and want to advance your career via international exposure while getting paid in USD [not dollar-pegged], you should dive in with us.

OUR MISSION
Startups in the U.S. don't have the resources they need to invest in great talent at the outset. But we think a great admin & ops foundation is a non-negotiable that all companies need to succeed.

Oceans makes it possible for startups to invest in great Sri Lanka-based talent early and long-term, with ample career progression opportunities available to you.

OUR STORY
We've made it our business to introduce the workforce of Sri Lanka to the rest of the world. After Founder and CEO Ian Myers spent two years working remotely with a Sri Lankan team, he became convinced he'd found the solution to America's hiring woes: the talent, work ethic, and business savviness of the Sri Lankan people.

Oceans exists to help startups outsource as they scale, and to provide a path for ambitious Sri Lankans to attain job security, flexibility, excellent pay, and comprehensive benefits in an intellectually stimulating and rewarding environment.

OUR REPUTATION
Sounds too good to be true? We promise it's not.

"I found Oceans at a fairly desperate point in my career – I was nearing the end of an internship and dreading the prospect of job hunting in the middle of a lockdown. I’m not exaggerating when I say that Oceans is the only reason I’m still participating in the workforce at all. Today, Oceans has restored my work-life balance, connected me with an incredible company, and gave me an alternative to the 9-to-5 drudgery – I am thoroughly spoiled by the experience and will be absolutely ruined for all office jobs in the future." —Oceans Diver, Seed Stage Media Startup

"The internal team have been nothing but warm, motivating, and constantly supportive throughout. My experience with the client I’m assigned to has also been amazing to say the least; the team has been welcoming, appreciative and you learn something new every day while working at a U.S. startup. working at Oceans has significantly improved my quality of life and personal wellbeing as a result of being able to work from the comfort of my home, flexible working hours, high remuneration, working in a healthy, supportive environment and many more reasons. Joining Oceans has been more than just a career development for me and I’m grateful for the exposure and all the opportunities it has brought along." —Oceans Diver, Seed Stage HealthTech Startup

"It is rare to be in a company that cares about its people on such a deep level. This is what’s different about Oceans. Here, you are empowered from day one. You are supported and carefully bridged to take on the work of high-profile client engagements within a short span of time. Today, through Oceans, I am deployed at a New York-based startup, working with Executives who are highly admired in the US startup circuit. Every day I learn something new, I’m challenged, and I’m inspired. I’ve learned more about being an entrepreneur by just working with great Executives. I believe this opportunity has changed my career and life in general. I’m lucky to be part of Oceans' first Cohort! But most importantly I’m lucky to be a part of this great startup that believes in great Sri Lankan talent." —Oceans Diver, Series B Future of Work Startup
