Web3 DAO RWA Jobs

The Monad Foundation is a team of dedicated ecosystem and community builders who are on a mission to massively grow the impact of decentralized tech. We believe that the Monad blockchain--the performant and parallel EVM Layer 1--will help decentralized apps eat the world.

The Role

DeFi on Monad is live. Protocols are deploying. Now the real work begins.

Monad Foundation, a core contributor to the Monad protocol, is looking for a DeFi Growth Lead to lead strategy and growth of Monad's DeFi ecosystem - not just what lands on the chain, but how deep it goes. You'll work directly with the protocols already building on Monad to help them grow their TVL, expand their product surface, and unlock the integrations that make each one more valuable than it could be in isolation.

A core pillar of this role is plugging real-world assets into DeFi. You'll connect tokenized asset issuers - treasuries, credit, fund products - with the lending protocols, yield vaults, and liquidity infrastructure on Monad that can make those assets productive onchain. You've probably already done some version of this. You know how RWA looping strategies work, how collateral gets structured in lending markets, and how to get institutional capital comfortable deploying into DeFi.

This role will report to the Head of DeFi and sit at the center of Monad's ecosystem strategy. You'll be the person protocol teams call when they want to grow — and you'll have the Foundation's resources and network to help them make it happen.

What You Will Do

• Own protocol growth end-to-end. You will build tailored growth plans with DeFi protocols on Monad - collaborating on liquidity incentive and co-incentive campaign structures, identifying missing integrations, and tracking TVL and volume against targets. You're not handing protocols off after they launch; you're accountable for their success.

• Build the RWA x DeFi flywheel. You will source and manage relationships with tokenized asset issuers and connect them with the right lending protocols, yield vaults, and stablecoin infrastructure on Monad. Design the looping strategies and collateral structures that make RWAs composable and yield-generating onchain - not just listed.

• Connect the dots across the ecosystem. You will identify cross-protocol opportunities that create compounding value - pairing a lending market with a DEX for deeper liquidity loops, or connecting a yield vault with an RWA issuer to expand TVL. You'll see the ecosystem as a system, not a list of individual protocols.

• Bring institutional capital onchain. You will work with institutional LPs, asset managers, and capital allocators to identify opportunities to deploy into RWA-backed DeFi products on Monad. You're comfortable in both the DeFi-native and TradFi-adjacent worlds, and can speak credibly to both.

Who You Are

• Track record of DeFi collaborations and/or ecosystem growth working with a Layer 1, Layer 2, or major protocol affiliated org. You have a track record of growing TVL and user activity, not just signing deals.

• RWA protocols and/or tokenization platforms experience. You understand how tokenized assets move from issuance into productive DeFi yield - collateral structures, redemption mechanics, oracle dependencies and all.

• Expertise in the inner workings of lending markets, AMMs, yield vaults, and liquidity incentives. You can diagnose why a protocol isn't growing and propose concrete solutions to fix it.

• Institutional relationships. You have worked with asset managers, family offices, or similar, and know how to get capital comfortable with DeFi-native infrastructure.

• High autonomy. You hold yourself accountable to metrics, and treat protocol success as your own.

Why Work with Us

• Challenging problems. You’ll tackle deeply complex and technically demanding problems, with autonomy and impact.

• Endless Opportunity for Impact. The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) standard is ubiquitous, but existing EVM-compatible chains are slow and bandwidth-constrained. Monad’s core innovations offer developers and founders the best of both worlds (portability and performance) and are a game-changer to power global on-chain finance.

• The right team. You’ll be part of a world class team, who are exceptional and highly-motivated.

• Culture. We’re a lean team working together to achieve very ambitious goals. We are united in our culture of collaboration, low ego, and high-quality output.

• Strong Ecosystem. The broader Monad ecosystem has attracted support from leading investors, builders and long-term contributors.
