Responsibilities

• Working with the Head of Blockchain Expansion and the rest of the DeFi team, define and execute Tether’s global DeFi strategy across USDT, XAUT, and USAT, with clear prioritisation of use cases that drive active users and net circulation.

• Own the strategy for expanding XAUT adoption and utility in DeFi, including its use as collateral, a store of value, and a real-world asset primitive.

• Lead senior-level relationships with DeFi protocols, foundations, and ecosystem partners; negotiate integrations, incentives, and long-term strategic partnerships.

• Produce regular, senior-management–ready reporting on:

  • Active users

  • Net circulation

  • Budget utilisation

  • Protocol concentration and risk

• Work cross-functionally with Economics, Legal, Compliance, Treasury, Business Development, and Communications to ensure alignment with Tether’s broader objectives and risk posture.

• Act as Tether’s internal authority on DeFi market structure, trends, and emerging risks.

• 3+ years of experience in crypto or digital assets, with deep hands-on DeFi experience (you are a “crypto native”).

• Proven experience leading and managing teams in a DeFi, crypto, or adjacent financial environment.

• Demonstrated ability to own and manage material budgets, including building reporting and accountability frameworks.

• Strong understanding of DeFi primitives, including:

  • Lending and borrowing markets

  • AMMs and liquidity provisioning

  • RWAs and tokenised assets

  • Incentive and yield mechanisms

• Strong commercial judgement with the ability to balance growth, risk, and capital efficiency.

• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.

• Comfortable operating in a high-autonomy, high-responsibility global role.

Preferred

• Prior leadership role at a major DeFi protocol, foundation, or liquidity provider.

• Experience managing stablecoin or commodity-backed asset strategies.

• Familiarity with on-chain analytics, performance attribution, and risk monitoring tools.
