Chief Executive Officer The Dollar Foundation

The role is for a founding CEO of a DeFi protocol focused on capital formation, TVL growth, and tokenomics, requiring hands-on experience in scaling DeFi projects and engaging with crypto investors and partners.

Location: Miami, Florida, United States

Responsibilities

• Own TVL growth across token demand, staking, and vault deposits and set, track, and report the growth and financial metrics.
• Lead capital formation end-to-end — raise the Series A from crypto-native investors and secure seed liquidity and incentive capital.
• Own the FISC token economy and capital-markets strategy — tokenomics, emissions, points and incentive programs, liquidity mining, and bribe-market deployment.
• Convert and deepen the curator and risk pipeline — turn warm relationships into live, endorsed integrations.
• Build the capital stack beyond the raise — crypto hedge funds, LPs, and ecosystem partners now; institutional and TradFi allocators as the platform matures.
• Be the public face of Bitcoin Dollar and FISC — conferences, podcasts, Twitter Spaces, and forums.
• Drive the trust-infrastructure agenda — real-time Proof of Reserves, DeFiLlama and aggregator listings, public risk assessments, and curator endorsements — and forge integrations (Pendle, Morpho, Aave, cross-chain) that extend sBTCD composability and distribution.
• Lead a small, senior team — hire selectively, set the operating cadence, manage runway and burn, and steward the long-term roadmap toward the multi-asset "Dollar" family, FISC seasons, and DAO governance.

Requirements

• Personally drove measurable TVL or AUM growth at a DeFi protocol with specific, defensible numbers.
• Deep crypto-capital-markets fluency — tokenomics and incentive design, lending markets, vaults, leverage, PT/YT and bribe markets, liquidity provisioning, and on-chain analytics.
• Credible, existing curator and risk-firm relationships, with a proven ability to convert skeptics into live integrations.
• Demonstrated fundraising — you've raised from crypto VCs and/or allocated as an investor, and can run a Series A.
• A strong public presence — comfortable as the named face of a protocol on stage, on podcasts, and on X — able to explain novel yield and rebalancing mechanics to a sophisticated, skeptical audience.
• A player-coach who thrives hands-on in a sub-20-person senior team and builds the playbook rather than managing a large org.
• High integrity and conviction, genuine comfort with token-weighted comp and early-stage ambiguity, and sound regulatory awareness as the public executive of a Cayman non-profit foundation and token issuer.
