Blockchain Jobs in London, United Kingdom

R3 Labs is a newly formed R3 unit with a collaboration with Solana. Our goal is to be the on-ramp for the next $1Tn of assets and we are focused on enabling financial institutions and asset originators to issue, manage and put to work real-world assets (RWA) on-chain. We combine the security, compliance, and enterprise know-how of R3 with the speed and composability of next-gen blockchain networks. We’re building the solutions for diverse on-chain assets, from funds and securities to carbon credits and real estate - with composability and interoperability at the core.

The Role: As Delivery Manager at R3 Labs, you will lead the end-to-end execution of on-chain asset tokenisation projects with institutional and fintech partners - from early-stage solution design through to on-chain deployment. You’ll work closely with clients, protocol teams, internal architects, and third-party service providers to bring complex, multi-party solutions to life. Many of these solutions will involve novel combinations of identity, custody, compliance, and smart contract infrastructure. You will be part delivery lead, part orchestrator, and part translator between traditional finance and Web3 ecosystems.

Key responsibilities:

• Client Delivery Leadership:
Drive the successful execution of projects from kickoff through delivery, ensuring outcomes are on time, within scope, and aligned to strategic objectives.
• Stakeholder Coordination:
Act as the connective tissue between internal teams (engineering, legal, architecture), external vendors (custodians, KYC/AML providers), and clients (banks, asset originators, fintechs).
• Solution Composition:
Collaborate with Solution Architects and clients to shape solutions using available Web3 infrastructure (e.g., SPL tokens, PDAs, custody APIs, identity services).
• Project Management:
Define and manage project roadmaps, delivery milestones, resource management.
• Active Web3 Fluency:
Understand how Solana primitives work (e.g., transactions, anchor framework, PDAs), and how to frame these capabilities for non-technical stakeholders, keeping up to date with latest developments.
• Risk & Compliance Awareness:
Ensuring delivery plans are aligned with regulatory, compliance, and security expectations — especially in permissioned or institutionally-sensitive deployments.

You might be a fit if:

• 8+ years in project delivery, product management, or consulting roles, preferably in financial services, fintech, or blockchain
• Proven experience delivering complex, multi-stakeholder technology projects with both internal and external partners
• Solid grasp of Web3 fundamentals — particularly in the context of real-world asset tokenization, custody, compliance, and blockchain composability
• Excellent communication, prioritization, and stakeholder management skills
• Experience managing delivery in agile environments (Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid) - nice to have
• A proactive and outcome-driven mindset — comfortable leading under ambiguity
• Prior experience delivering blockchain-based solutions in financial services or tokenization contexts
• Familiarity with Solana
• Understanding of smart contract audit processes, secure key management, and regulatory frameworks (e.g., MiCA, FCA sandbox)
• Familiarity with tools like JIRA, Notion, GitHub, and Web3 dev tooling

Why join R3 Labs:

• Work at the intersection of Web3 innovation and institutional-grade infrastructure
• Influence how the next generation of tokenized assets is built and traded
• Competitive salary + enterprise benefits
