About Wildcat
Wildcat is an Ethereum protocol reinventing on-chain credit. Our V2 markets let borrowers spin up highly-customisable, fixed-rate, under- or even un-collateralised credit facilitiesâbridging traditional private-credit markets with DeFi liquidity so sophisticated actors can raise working capital, fund supply-chain finance and other real-world assets with speed and transparency. Borrowers set their own terms and cut out intermediaries, while lenders enjoy novel interest-rate and withdrawal mechanics. Built by and for seasoned market participants, Wildcat is committed to transforming credit markets through efficient, tailored, on-chain solutions.
Working for Wildcat
As Director, TradFi Credit Origination & Tokenisation, you will be the senior deal-maker who leverages traditional-finance networks to originate private-credit transactionsâthen guides their conversion into tokenised, on-chain markets via Wildcat.Â
You will drive growth by designing and implementing a comprehensive market-expansion strategy that positions Wildcat as the premier on-chain credit platform for TradFi players. Specifically, you will identify, build and maintain strong relationships with new and existing borrowers, lenders and partners; drive targeted outreach that puts Wildcat in front of priority TradFi counterparties, and convert the resulting market intelligence into actionable product and risk-framework enhancements.
Location: Prefer candidates based in major US hubs (NYC, Chicago) who can overlap with the teamâs 9 a.m.â5 p.m. CET collaboration window.
Responsibilities
- Origination & Pipeline Ownership (TradFi-First): Design and drive a global strategy that sources and tokenises high-quality instrumentsâworking-capital, supply-chain, asset-backed and revenue-based loans alongside structured-credit tranches and tokenised equity/stock dealsâfrom mid-market corporates, PE-backed portfolio companies and family-owned businesses, bringing that flow and involved parties onto wildcat.
- Deal Sourcing & Relationship Management: Leverage your Rolodex of treasurers/CFOs, PE sponsors, private-credit funds, investment banks and market makersâplus family offices and other strategic partners to originate proprietary or sponsor-backed transactions and maintain a dynamic network of borrowers and lenders moving toward on-chain credit and tokenisation.
- Foundational Team Builder: As Wildcatâs first dedicated TradFi hire, codify processes, create playbooks and mentor future joiners so the institutional-origination function scales smoothly.
- Risk & Governance: Establish guidelines and define tooling that let borrowers and lenders structure deals to institutional standards. Define monitoring frameworks that external counterparties can adopt or build upon, ensuring TradFi-grade risk controls with DeFi-grade transparencyâwhile Wildcat remains the neutral infrastructure provider.
Requirements
- Â Minimum 5+ yearsâ experience in private credit, leveraged finance, investment banking or direct lending.
- Demonstrated originations network across North-American and European private-credit markets.
- Â A deep, global network of corporate treasurers, credit funds, family offices, market makers, advisors and intermediaries.
- Expertise across workingâcapital, supplyâchain, assetâbacked and revenueâbased lending; fluency in cashâflow analysis, covenant structures and credit documentation.
- DeFi curiosity and tokenisation knowâhow. Ability to explain how tokenisation can improve liquidity, efficiency and transparency and how realâworld asset lending is growing onâ chains.
- Regulatory fluency in US securities frameworks (SEC Reg D/Reg S, Investment Company Act) and EU directives (MiFID II, AIFMD) in addition to MiCA.
- Dataâdriven, entrepreneurial mindset with high emotional quotient. Capable of working autonomously in a remote, fastâpaced environment; comfortable bridging boardroom expectations and crypto culture.
What We Offer
- Impact & Ownership â Shape the TradFi credit arm of a protocol thatâs redefining private credit and disintermediating the traditional way of credit within traditional finance. Your work will directly grow TVL and influence Wildcatâs market position.
- CuttingâEdge Environment â Collaborate with a seasoned team of DeFi architects. Youâll work on tokenising realâworld assets at the frontier where private credit meets Web3.
- Remote Flexibility â Work from anywhere with core hours aligned to Europe/Berlin. We prioritise autonomy and asynchronous collaboration.
- Competitive Compensation â Receive a salary in crypto or fiat, plus meaningful equity upside. We also provide travel and conference budgets and support ongoing professional development.
- Real Culture â Join a transparent, inclusive team that values initiative, curiosity and candour.
