About the role

What You Will Do

  • Own DeFi growth strategy for the Monad network. Prioritize bets across lending, DEXs, stablecoins, RWAs, and yield infrastructure, measured by TVL, volume, stablecoin market cap, RWA market cap, and fees generated.
  • Execute end-to-end asset and protocol onboarding. Coordinate across oracles, liquidators, DEX pool setup, curators, and bridging providers.
  • Advise DeFi builders deploying on the Monad network. Provide actionable feedback on protocol mechanics, product gaps, and market positioning.
  • Activate network of whales, liquid funds, curators, and blue-chip DeFi founders to kickstart early liquidity and protocol traction.
  • Bridge DeFi and TradFi/Fintech. Represent the Foundation with senior institutional executives, translating yield generation opportunities into strategic terms.
  • Drive incentive strategy. Form and defend opinions on initiatives that attract durable TVL per unit of spend versus mercenary capital.
  • Manage a team of 2–3 DeFi specialists. Set priorities, maintain execution tempo, and build a culture of rigor and bias for action.

Who You Are

  • DeFi-fluent operator: Track record of driving measurable growth in TVL, liquidity, or protocol adoption. Understand value flows across lending (Aave, Morpho, Euler), CDPs, DEXs, and yield-bearing stablecoins.
  • Opinionated on asset quality and risk: Assess bridging mechanics, liquidity depth, redemption windows, reserve transparency, and issuer controls.
  • Deep, pre-existing network: Among whales, liquid crypto-native funds, DeFi curators, and blue-chip protocol founders.
  • Executive presence: Credible with TradFi/Fintech C-suite; make DeFi concepts legible to institutional decision-makers.
  • Strategic and organized: See the full DeFi chessboard, prioritize ruthlessly.
  • Proven leadership and management experience: Run a small, high-output team with clear direction and high trust.
  • Efficient communicator, written and verbal. Distill complexity into clarity without losing nuance.

Nice to Haves

  • Strong knowledge of trading/markets; think in expected value (EV) terms.
  • Experience deploying or managing liquidity across multiple chains.
  • Comfort reading Solidity and understanding smart contract risk at a conceptual level.
  • Experience working within a foundation, DAO, or decentralized contributor structure.
