Chief Executive Officer, The Dollar Foundation

As Chief Executive Officer of The Dollar Foundation, you own capital formation, TVL growth, and the FISC token economy for Bitcoin Dollar, a DeFi yield platform built on BTCD, a collateralized token holding 50/50 BTC/USD exposure. This is a hands-on, commercial, crypto-native operating role for someone who has personally scaled a DeFi protocol, knows tokenomics as a craft, and can champion the vision for the ecosystem online and onstage. You report to the board and lead a small, senior team toward a multi-asset "Dollar" family and DAO governance.

What you'll do

• Own TVL growth across token demand, staking, and vault deposits, setting and tracking the growth and financial metrics that govern it
• Lead capital formation end-to-end: raise the Series A from crypto-native investors and secure seed liquidity and incentive capital to bootstrap and retain TVL
• Own the FISC token economy and capital-markets strategy, including tokenomics, emissions, points and incentive programs, liquidity mining, and bribe-market deployment
• Convert and deepen the curator and risk pipeline by turning warm relationships into live, endorsed integrations
• Build the capital stack beyond the raise, engaging crypto hedge funds, LPs, and ecosystem partners now, with a path to institutional and TradFi allocators as the platform matures
• Be the public face of Bitcoin Dollar and FISC across conferences, podcasts, Twitter Spaces, and forums, carrying a credible, transparent narrative
• Drive the trust-infrastructure agenda with real-time Proof of Reserves, DeFiLlama and aggregator listings, public risk assessments, and curator endorsements
• Forge integrations with Pendle, Morpho, Aave, and cross-chain protocols to extend sBTCD composability and distribution
• Lead a small, senior team by hiring selectively, setting the operating cadence, managing runway and burn, and stewarding the long-term roadmap

What you bring

• 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 experience: 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 organization
• High integrity and conviction, genuine comfort with token-weighted compensation 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 such as 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
