Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Own the end-to-end creation and growth of a real-world asset (RWA) tokenization ecosystem on the Monad blockchain, from issuer sourcing to on-chain utility and distribution.
• Identify, engage, and onboard asset managers, tokenization platforms, and fund managers seeking to issue or migrate tokenized assets onto Monad, building a structured pipeline from initial contact to live issuance.
• Develop and execute a prioritization thesis for asset classes based on institutional credibility, investor demand, and Monad’s technical differentiation, targeting traditional finance institutions and asset managers for long-term issuance.
• Coordinate with DeFi protocols (lend/borrow platforms) and risk curators to integrate tokenized assets into lending, collateral, and yield-generating primitives, ensuring on-chain utility beyond issuance.
• Manage incentive structures with DeFi protocols to drive liquidity and active usage of tokenized assets on Monad, establishing measurable adoption metrics.
• Define and advocate for standardized issuance and composability frameworks that ensure predictability for issuers and seamless integration paths for DeFi protocols.
• Ensure secondary market liquidity for tokenized assets on-chain by working with market makers and trading platforms, enhancing credibility among institutional investors.
• Partner with Monad’s business development and ecosystem teams to distribute tokenized assets through crypto-native allocators, retail platforms, e-wallets, centralized exchanges, super-apps, fintechs, and neobanks.
• Track ownership patterns of tokenized assets on Monad — including holder demographics, holding duration, and usage behavior — to refine sourcing priorities and strengthen issuer recruitment narratives.
• Maintain real-time intelligence on the competitive tokenization landscape, monitoring which asset classes and chains are gaining traction, and why issuers choose specific platforms over others.
• Develop and apply working knowledge of regulatory frameworks across key jurisdictions to anticipate shifts and position Monad proactively, not reactively, on compliance and viable asset types.
• Serve as the primary liaison between issuers, DeFi teams, risk curators, and distribution partners, ensuring accountability and momentum across all stages of the tokenization workflow.
• Translate tokenization pipeline developments into Monad’s broader investor relations and capital markets narrative, ensuring institutional MON stakeholders understand the ecosystem’s growth trajectory.
• Operate with commercial acumen to prioritize high-impact issuers and asset classes, balancing technical feasibility with market demand and regulatory risk.
• Communicate effectively across TradFi and crypto-native audiences, translating complex financial concepts into clear, actionable insights for diverse stakeholders.
• Drive execution with autonomy, managing complex, multi-party workflows without constant oversight, while maintaining detailed tracking and accountability across all stages.
• Maintain deep curiosity about institutional asset trends, credible issuers, and emerging demand signals in tokenized finance, continuously informing strategic direction.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with BD, DeFi, risk, and ecosystem teams to align tokenization efforts with Monad’s broader mission and technical roadmap.

🎯 Requirements

• 5–10 years of experience in RWA or tokenization, asset management, institutional product at a digital asset firm, capital markets or structured products at a financial institution, or BD at a DeFi protocol with institutional focus
• Direct familiarity with how tokenized assets work on-chain, including the issuance process, role of risk curators, and integration with lending protocols
• Experience managing multi-party workflows across issuers, DeFi protocols, and distribution partners
• Strong relationship-building skills with both traditional finance counterparts (asset managers, fund administrators) and crypto-native teams (DeFi protocols, wallet platforms)
• Commercially sharp with ability to identify high-impact assets and issuers and prioritize accordingly
• Operationally organized with ability to manage complex, multi-stage pipelines across multiple counterparties simultaneously

🏖️ Benefits

• Work on challenging, technically demanding problems with significant autonomy and impact
• Opportunity to shape the future of global on-chain finance via Monad’s high-performance EVM Layer 1
• Join a world-class, highly-motivated team focused on collaboration, low ego, and high-quality output
• Be part of a lean, ambitious culture united by shared goals and strong ecosystem support from leading investors and builders
