  • Negotiate liquidity, treasury, and investment structures

Ideal Background

  • Exposure to Web3, crypto markets, DeFi, or token ecosystems (or strong willingness to learn)
  • Experience managing treasury, liquidity, and investor relationships
  • Strong understanding of financial instruments and market mechanics
  • High integrity, sound judgment, and the ability to operate in a high‑trust, fast‑moving environment
  • Systems thinker who can bring structure to complexity
  • Mission‑aligned and long‑term oriented

Why This Role
