Defi Jobs in New York, New York, United States

Molecule is at the heart of the Decentralized Science (DeSci) movement where biotech and blockchain meet to democratize scientific research, earning recognition and support from key figures in the web3 world, including Vitalik Buterin, Balaji, and Juan Benet. We're known for creating VitaDAO, the first and largest biotech DAO with more than $4m in funding deployed, bio.xyz, a vital hub supporting and building biotech DAOs, the IP-NFT, a protocol bringing rights to IP and R&D data on-chain, and IPTs, ERC-20 tokens minted from IP-NFTs to allow token holders to construct and cultivate valuable IP. We’ve also recently launched launchpad, a platform to launch, discover, and fund the best projects in DeSci.

Over the past 24 months, we have raised $20+ million to build the future of decentralized biotech. Join us and contribute to a future where scientific discovery is driven by web3.

The Role

We’re looking for a Head of Treasury & Token Markets to own Molecule’s treasury strategy and token market operations. Sitting at the intersection of finance, crypto markets, and DeFi, this role will ensure long-term runway, manage risk, and strengthen liquidity for BIO and partner tokens across CEXs, DEXs, and OTC markets.

You’ll be hands-on in treasury management, liquidity provisioning, and market coordination, while also setting policy frameworks and reporting standards for leadership and the board. The right candidate combines a financial operator’s discipline with a crypto-native understanding of trading, liquidity mechanics, and DeFi innovation.

What You’ll Do

• Manage multi-chain treasury holdings (ETH, BTC, SOL, stables, LPs, staked assets)

• Ensure 6+ months fiat/stable runway through rebalancing, hedging, and off-ramps

• Forecast cash flow vs. burn, and prepare regular treasury reports for leadership/board

• Execute treasury policy (DCA sales, AMM rebalancing, off-ramping schedules)

• Oversee and coordinate with market makers, ensuring execution quality and liquidity depth

• Manage token liquidity across AMMs, DEXs, and CEXs (ranges, LPs, slippage control)

• Plan and execute token sales (Kraken, OTC deals, structured transactions)

• Optimize trading volumes, spreads, and liquidity health for BIO and ecosystem tokens

• Structure OTC agreements, convertibles, options, and other treasury monetization tools

• Support token incentive design for partnerships and liquidity campaigns

• Evaluate/mitigate risk exposure from derivatives and structured deals

• Build dashboards and KPIs for treasury exposure, liquidity, and market health

• Report weekly/monthly on treasury performance, liquidity operations, and strategic deals

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years experience in crypto trading, treasury management, DeFi funds, or market making

• Deep knowledge of CEX/DEX liquidity, AMMs, staking, and DeFi protocols

• Experience designing treasury policies, structuring OTC deals, and managing execution

• Ability to balance macro treasury planning with hands-on trade execution

• Strong communication skills to translate on-chain operations into clear financial reporting

• (Nice to have) Experience with derivatives structuring or token launch mechanics

Success in This Role Looks Like

• Runway protection — 6+ months of fiat/stable reserves maintained at all times

• Liquidity health — competitive spreads, slippage, and depth across BIO and key pairs

• Execution efficiency — minimized costs from treasury sales and LP adjustments

• Clear reporting — accurate, timely treasury and market updates for leadership/board

• Strategic impact — well-structured deals that strengthen Molecule’s treasury position
