This is a critical leadership role with visibility across finance, legal, and engineering, and direct influence over how the token functions in the market.

• Build internal dashboards using tools like Dune, Flipside, or Nansen
• Track and analyze key token metrics: trading volume, liquidity health, vesting cliffs, and treasury runway

• Partner with senior leadership to shape strategy using liquidity and adoption insights
What We're Looking For

• 3–7 years in crypto, fintech, or capital markets operations
• Hands-on experience interacting with buyers and sellers of digital assets
• Prior experience managing token ops, liquidity, or treasury at a protocol, fund, or exchange
• Deep understanding of token mechanics, digital asset markets, and compliance workflows
Skills
• Proficient with custody and ops tools (Fireblocks, Copper, Gnosis Safe, TokenUnlocks, Dune, etc.)
• Structured, detail-oriented, and operationally rigorous
• Strong communication skills; able to align internal stakeholders and external partners
• Bonus: experience with SQL, Python, or analytics tooling

Why This Role
• Lead token operations at a high-growth Web3 company post-TGE
