Join ex-Lighter.xyz and IG.com founders building the end-state of financial speculation: an ultra-high leverage crypto & RWA perps protocol with zero slippage and exceptional execution.
We're looking for an extremely well-connected crypto-native operator who knows the whales, traders and degens who move markets. This is a rare opportunity to join a high-quality, well-funded ($3.5m) project at the ground floor, with the autonomy, resources and upside to build and own a critical part of the business.
What you'll do: Build and own our whale acquisition business, from strategy and relationships through to capital and trading volume.
- Leverage your existing network to acquire crypto whales interested in token investment, farming or high-volume trading
- Own relationships end-to-end, from initial outreach and pitching through to closing and ongoing engagement
- Identify and penetrate new networks of crypto capital, from individual whales and trading groups to influential ecosystem figures
- Develop relationships with key connectors who can open doors to further capital and trading activity
- Shape the acquisition strategy, develop commercial propositions and lead major opportunities, working directly with the founders where it adds value
Who you are
- Deeply embedded in crypto, with an extensive personal network of high-value participants
- Proven track record of originating capital, traders or valuable relationships for crypto projects
- Fluent in DeFi, perps, tokenomics, farming and crypto market culture
- Resourceful, relentless and commercially minded. You know who matters, how to reach them, and how to get their attention
- Ideally experienced at a leading perp DEX, crypto exchange, OTC desk or successful DeFi protocol
Compensation & upside
- Competitive base salary, uncapped performance commissions and meaningful long-term ownership upside. Exceptional performance should generate exceptional rewards
- Real autonomy: Commercial discretion, resources and direct access to the founders to get deals done
Success looks like: Capital attracted, active high-value traders acquired, and a growing network of whales who bring other whales.
We care far more about your network, track record and ambition than your CV.
