Chief Executive Officer, The Dollar Foundation (Jersey City)
Coinme is looking for Chief Executive Officer, The Dollar Foundation (Jersey City) in North Bergen, NJ.
This local job opportunity with ID 3770113535 is live since 2026-08-01 10:50:39.
Role Overview We are hiring a founding CEO to own capital formation, TVL growth, and the FISC token economy. This is not a foundation steward role and not a TradFi executive seat. It is a hands‑on, commercial, crypto‑native operating role for someone who has personally scaled a DeFi protocol, knows tokenomics as a craft, has credibility with curators, funds and risk firms and can champion a vision for the ecosystem online and onstage. Key Responsibilities Own TVL growth across token demand, staking, and vault deposits — and set, track, and report the growth and financial metrics that govern it. Lead capital formation end‑to‑end — raise the Series A from crypto‑native investors and secure the seed liquidity and incentive capital needed to bootstrap and retain TVL. 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. Curator trust is the protocol's 1 conversion unlock. 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, X spaces, and forums — carrying a credible, transparent narrative. 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. Qualifications 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. Nice to Have Direct working relationships with curators like Re7, Block Analitica, Gauntlet, Steakhouse, or Veda. Prior founder or CEO experience at a DeFi protocol. Stablecoin, yield, or RWA protocol depth. Network into Pendle, Morpho, Aave, or Sky ecosystems. J-18808-Ljbffr5c143e31-5e48-4549-b638-05792d185386
