The Monad Foundation is hiring a DeFi Success Lead to own our strategy for growing the Monad DeFi ecosystem. In this central role, you will work directly with protocols building on Monad to grow their total value locked, expand their product surface, and unlock critical integrations, with a core focus on bridging real-world assets into DeFi.
What You'll Do
- Own protocol growth end-to-end: Build tailored growth plans with DeFi protocols on Monad, collaborating on liquidity incentive structures, identifying missing integrations, and tracking TVL and volume against targets.
- Build the RWA x DeFi flywheel: Source and manage relationships with tokenized asset issuers and connect them with lending protocols, yield vaults, and stablecoin infrastructure on Monad.
- Connect the dots across the ecosystem: Identify cross-protocol opportunities that create compounding value, seeing the ecosystem as a system.
- Bring institutional capital onchain: Work with institutional LPs, asset managers, and capital allocators to deploy capital into RWA-backed DeFi products on Monad.
What We're Looking For
- Meaningful experience inside DeFi collaborations or ecosystem growth, working with a Layer 1, Layer 2, or major protocol-affiliated organization.
- A track record of growing TVL and user activity for DeFi products.
- Experience working with RWA protocols or tokenization platforms and understanding how tokenized assets move from issuance into productive DeFi yield.
- Deep understanding of how lending markets, AMMs, yield vaults, and liquidity incentives interact within an ecosystem.
- Experience working with institutional counterparts like asset managers and family offices and knowing how to get capital comfortable with DeFi-native infrastructure.
- An operator who works with high autonomy, holds themselves accountable to metrics, and treats protocol success as their own.
