  • Coordinate across internal business units and external partners to minimize impact and drive effective, sustainable resolutions.

  • Evaluate and approve project-related requests (e.g., rebranding, mainnet integrations, swaps) through a risk-based framework.

  • Deliver concise and data-driven analytical reports summarizing findings, risks, and recommendations for senior management.

  • Lead initiatives to strengthen risk detection, enhance monitoring frameworks, and improve escalation procedures throughout the listing lifecycle.

  • Operations & Process Management

  • Oversee new token listings, ensuring operational readiness, cross-functional alignment, and adherence to internal governance standards.

  • Manage collaboration with multiple teams to support ongoing operational activities (e.g., airdrops, cross-chain swaps, migrations).

  • Continuously optimize workflows, SOPs, and reporting mechanisms to drive operational efficiency and process transparency.

  • Provide leadership, mentorship, and direction to team members, fostering a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement.

Requirements

  • 7–10 years of proven experience in research, risk management, consulting, or related fields, with experience in crypto or financial markets strongly preferred.
  • Hands-on experience with on-chain data analysis and a strong understanding of blockchain ecosystems and tokenomics.
  • Deep knowledge of crypto market structures, including DeFi protocols, centralized exchanges (CEX), and cross-chain ecosystems.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead complex, cross-functional initiatives and make sound, data-driven decisions under pressure.
  • Strong analytical and strategic thinking skills; capable of identifying root causes and designing structured, scalable solutions.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including negotiation and conflict resolution.
  • Curious, self-driven, and passionate about continuous learning in the rapidly evolving crypto and AI landscape.
  • High level of integrity, ownership, and resilience in fast-paced, high-stakes environments.
