About The Dollar Foundation

The Dollar Foundation is the non-profit steward of the Bitcoin Dollar (BTCD), a DeFi yield platform. BTCD is the foundation for staking, which mints sBTCD, a yield-bearing token capturing returns from productive BTC, productive dollars, and a volatility-monetization engine. This makes sBTCD a powerful collateral primitive that earns from both sides of the balance sheet.

The platform builds structured products using sBTCD as collateral, including a USD Vault for borrowing BTC and a BTC Vault for borrowing USD, offering competitive APYs.

Role Overview

We are hiring a founding CEO to lead capital formation, TVL growth, and the FISC token economy. This is a hands-on, commercial, crypto-native operating role for an individual experienced in scaling DeFi protocols, with expertise in tokenomics, strong credibility with curators and funds, and the ability to champion the ecosystem's vision.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive TVL growth through token demand, staking, and vault deposits, setting and reporting on key financial metrics.
• Lead end-to-end capital formation, including raising a Series A from crypto-native investors and securing seed liquidity.
• Own the FISC token economy and capital-markets strategy, including tokenomics, emissions, incentives, and liquidity mining.
• Convert and deepen the curator and risk pipeline, turning relationships into live integrations.
• Build the capital stack, attracting crypto hedge funds, LPs, and ecosystem partners, with a future focus on institutional allocators.
• Serve as the public face of Bitcoin Dollar and FISC, presenting at conferences and engaging in online forums.
• Drive the trust-infrastructure agenda, including Proof of Reserves, aggregator listings, risk assessments, and curator endorsements.
• Lead a small, senior team, managing runway, burn, and the long-term roadmap toward a multi-asset "Dollar" family and DAO governance.

Qualifications

• Proven track record of driving measurable TVL or AUM growth at a DeFi protocol.
• Deep fluency in crypto-capital markets, including tokenomics, incentive design, lending markets, vaults, leverage, bribe markets, and on-chain analytics.
• Existing, credible relationships with curators and risk firms, with a demonstrated ability to secure integrations.
• Experience raising capital from crypto VCs and/or allocating as an investor, with the ability to manage a Series A round.
• Strong public presence, comfortable presenting complex DeFi mechanics to sophisticated audiences.
• Player-coach mentality, thriving in a hands-on, sub-20-person senior team environment.
• High integrity, conviction, comfort with token-weighted compensation, early-stage ambiguity, and sound regulatory awareness.

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.
• Depth in stablecoin, yield, or RWA protocols.
• Network within Pendle, Morpho, Aave, or Sky ecosystems.
