Job description

We are supporting a well-funded, next-generation Layer 1 blockchain project. The platform is purpose-built for the tokenization and on-chain circulation of real-world assets (RWA) and stablecoins, with a strong focus on institutional adoption.

The team is building infrastructure that bridges traditional Web2 institutions into Web3, expanding on-chain asset diversity, unlocking new yield opportunities, and enabling broader investor participation. Their mission is to help enterprises overcome operational, regulatory, and knowledge barriers, allowing them to deploy assets on-chain in a secure, compliant, and scalable manner. With deep RWA domain expertise and strong technical execution, the team is developing institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure and a comprehensive decentralized ecosystem designed to support large-scale, real-world asset adoption.

We are seeking an Investment Manager to lead investment strategy and capital deployment across treasury and ecosystem funds at the intersection of Web3 infrastructure, DeFi, and real-world assets (RWA). You will source, evaluate, and execute investments that strengthen the network’s long-term ecosystem, while actively supporting portfolio companies and building strategic co-investment relationships across the industry.

Responsibilities

  • Investment Strategy & Pipeline Management
    • Develop and execute investment strategies for treasury and ecosystem funds in line with long-term network and ecosystem objectives.
    • Source and evaluate early-stage opportunities across Web3 infrastructure, RWA protocols, DeFi primitives, and related tooling.
    • Conduct comprehensive market research, financial analysis, due diligence, and technical assessments.
    • Manage deal flow through structured processes, including pipeline tracking, prioritisation, and investment committee preparation.
  • Deal Structuring & Execution
    • Lead negotiation and execution of token and equity investments, including SAFEs, SAFTs, and strategic allocation agreements.
    • Partner with legal and finance teams to ensure accurate documentation, compliance, and treasury execution.
    • Design milestone-based incentive structures for ecosystem investments, grants, or strategic deployments.
    • Support portfolio companies post-investment through strategic introductions, go-to-market support, and ecosystem alignment.
  • Portfolio Management & Reporting
    • Track portfolio performance across financial, token, and on-chain metrics, including unlock schedules and liquidity events.
    • Maintain clear and transparent reporting for internal stakeholders through dashboards, performance summaries, and periodic reviews.
    • Coordinate with finance and operations teams on treasury rebalancing, yield strategies, and capital utilisation.
  • Ecosystem & Co-Investment Collaboration
    • Build and maintain relationships with leading venture funds, foundations, and ecosystem partners.
    • Identify opportunities for co-investments, accelerators, incubation programs, or liquidity initiatives.
    • Represent the organisation in syndicates, ecosystem funds, and industry investment networks.
  • Market Research & Strategic Insight
    • Monitor macro and sector-specific trends across DeFi, RWA tokenisation, and modular blockchain infrastructure.
    • Provide data-driven insights to guide internal decision-making on ecosystem priorities and capital allocation.
    • Contribute to investment theses that align market opportunities with ecosystem growth.

Qualifications

  • 3–7 years of experience in venture capital, crypto investing, or ecosystem fund management.
  • Strong understanding of blockchain fundamentals, token economics, and on-chain financial products.
  • Proven ability to evaluate Web3 projects, analyse business models, and structure both token and equity deals.
  • Solid financial modelling and due-diligence capabilities, including market sizing, risk assessment, and token-supply analysis.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-management skills.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, global environment.

Bonus

  • Experience managing ecosystem or foundation funds.
  • Prior exposure to DeFi or RWA founders, protocols, or infrastructure projects.

Success Indicators

  • Quality, strategic fit, and performance of executed investments.
  • Portfolio diversification aligned with long-term ecosystem objectives.
  • Strength and depth of co-investment partnerships and syndicate participation.
  • Measurable contribution to on-chain TVL growth, portfolio project traction, or ecosystem visibility.
