Tokenization Lead

About the role

The Tokenization Lead will own the end-to-end effort to build a thriving Real World Asset (RWA) ecosystem on Monad. Key responsibilities include:

• Identify, engage, and onboard asset managers, tokenization platforms, and fund managers looking to issue or migrate tokenized assets onto Monad.
• Build and manage a structured issuer pipeline, tracking prospects from initial conversation through to live issuance.
• Develop a point of view on which asset classes to prioritize, balancing institutional credibility, investor demand, and Monad-specific differentiation, and execute against that thesis.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams across BD, DeFi, and ecosystem partnerships, and report into senior leadership at Monad Foundation.

Responsibilities

• Issuer Sourcing & Onboarding
• On-Chain Utility & DeFi Integration
• Distribution
• Market & Regulatory Intelligence
• Cross-Functional Collaboration

Requirements

Background:

• 5–10 years of experience in one or more of the following: RWA or tokenization, asset management, institutional product at a digital asset firm, capital markets or structured products at a financial institution, or BD at a DeFi protocol with institutional focus.
• Direct familiarity with how tokenized assets work on-chain — you understand the issuance process, the role of risk curators and lending protocols, and what makes an asset useful versus merely issued.
• Experience managing multi-party workflows across issuers, protocols, and distribution partners.

Qualifications

• Strong relationship builder — comfortable engaging both traditional finance counterparts (asset managers, fund administrators) and crypto-native teams (DeFi protocols, risk curators, wallet platforms).
• Commercially sharp — able to identify which assets and issuers will move the needle for Monad and prioritize accordingly.
• Operationally organized — this role requires managing a complex, multi-stage pipeline across multiple counterparties simultaneously without losing track of where things stand.
• Clear communicator — able to translate between the language of TradFi and on-chain finance depending on the audience.
• Mindset Execution-oriented. You are comfortable owning a workflow end-to-end and driving it forward without waiting to be directed.
• Curious about the asset side of the equation — you follow which asset classes are gaining institutional traction, who the credible issuers are, and where demand is emerging.
• Collaborative — success in this role depends on working well with internal teams and external partners across very different contexts.
