About this role
About the Company / Protocol
We are supporting a leading institutional-grade RWA (real-world asset) DeFi protocol focused on tokenized credit, real-yield products, and fully collateralized, composable primitives. Emphasis is placed on robust risk management, on-chain transparency, legal structuring, and credit enhancement to meet the standards of traditional financial institutions.
About the Role
Dual-hat senior role combining competitive product strategy with institutional-grade credit underwriting and portfolio management for a leading tokenized real-world asset (RWA) protocol.
Two core mandates:
- Product/Token level → Design the next generation of yield-bearing tokenized credit products that are clearly win on risk-adjusted return vs. the rest of the market
- Collateral level → Build and run a proper institutional credit investment process (research → due diligence → onboarding → ongoing monitoring) for hundreds of millions (eventually billions) in traditional-finance collateral
Key Responsibilities
Product & Competitive Intelligence
- Continuous tracking and reverse-engineering of competing tokenized credit / RWA yield products across all major protocols
- Identify gaps in the market and propose new yield-bearing tokens with differentiated risk/return and structural edge
- Build both the investment thesis and the commercial/competitive positioning for each new product
- Partner with marketing/intelligence team on upcoming launches and narrative timing
Credit Investment & Portfolio Management
- Design and implement institutional-grade due diligence frameworks for private credit, structured credit, treasuries, and other real-world collateral
- Lead legal, financial, and operational due diligence on new collateral pools or funds
- Author investment memos / proposals for executive team and (eventually) governance/token holders
- Build ongoing risk-monitoring dashboards and reporting (both internal and on-chain transparency)
- Work cross-functionally with quant/dev, legal, risk, and ops teams to automate processes wherever possible
Requirements
- 5–10+ years in private credit, fixed income, structured finance, or credit fund roles at a bank, hedge fund, credit fund, asset manager, or rating agency
(ex: Goldman/BlackRock/JPM credit research or trading, Ares/Oaktree/Apollo, Monroe Capital, etc.) - Direct experience underwriting or monitoring loans, CLOs, ABS, corporate credit, trade finance, or similar
- Already active in the RWA/DeFi credit space (you know the difference between good and bad tokenization structures)
- Ability to write clear, concise investment memos that both crypto natives and tradfi credit committees respect
- Bonus: prior structuring or product development experience on tokenized funds or yield products
- Mandarin fluency is a significant advantage
- Location: Fully remote — strong preference for North America (NYC/SF/Chicago) or Asia-Pacific (Singapore/HK/Taiwan/Seoul/Tokyo) time zones
