  • Performance management: Continuously monitor metrics, analyze performance gaps, and implement corrective measures to hit growth targets.
  • Market insights and leadership: Stay ahead of DeFi trends, risks, and opportunities, and adapt strategies to keep Kaia competitive as a global DeFi hub.

Qualifications:

  • 6+ years of relevant experience in blockchain, fintech, or financial services
  • 3+ years of hands-on DeFi experience with measurable achievements (e.g., growing TVL, launching protocols, scaling liquidity)
  • Demonstrated ability to set, manage, and deliver against aggressive KPIs
