DeFi Portfolio Manager

About Us We are a European-based blockchain and digital asset investment firm operating over $70M in assets across our flagship early-stage venture and credit strategies. The firm originates from an early-stage venture fund launched a few years ago, which built the foundations of our presence and conviction in DeFi through investments in a number of leading protocols, as well as unicorns in non-DeFi verticals. Building on that foothold in DeFi, we launched our credit fund last year, an EU-regulated fund dedicated to institutionally deploying capital into the wide array of yield opportunities across digital asset markets. Down the line, the team plans to extend its rigorous due diligence approach and proprietary strategies to an on-chain asset management line of business, in order to further grow operating capital and expand our presence on-chain. With continued expansion in mind, we are committed to being at the forefront of DeFi, CeFi, and blockchain innovation in the financial industry. We are currently seeking someone with a tenured background in DeFi and digital asset yield strategies to join the Credit Fund as Portfolio Manager. About the Role Currently operating $35M, the fund has built a 12-month institutional and regulated track record of deploying capital on-chain under a non-directional, multi-strategy yield mandate for its investors. Since incepting with $15M, the fund has actively expanded its capital base and is aiming to scale beyond $50M in AUM by the end of the year, a step that naturally calls for a greater degree of portfolio management sophistication. We are seeking a seasoned individual in DeFi to own the fund's investment allocations and elevate the portfolio through its journey of AUM expansion. Upon joining, the Portfolio Manager will take ownership of the fund's portfolio and lead allocations for the majority of the AUM across a multi-strategy DeFi and on-chain book. This entails staying at the bleeding edge of the available universe of yield strategies and overseeing the end-to-end investment cycle, from sourcing, relationship building, and rigorous underwriting, through to selection, position monitoring, and portfolio rebalancing. From day one, the Portfolio Manager will have the full support of the team, currently made up of the co-founders, a DeFi security engineer, CFO, legal counsel, and soon a Head of Lending. This is a role that offers a very high degree of agency, the latitude to explore, to build, and to organise people and process as they see fit, but it carries in equal measure the responsibility to deliver results for the team and its investors. We are looking for someone eager to take ownership of our investment processes, deploy capital on-chain with institutional rigour, build systems, and help scale the fund to $100M+. The Ideal Candidate - At least 3+ years of hands-on experience managing active DeFi portfolios and non-directional on-chain yield strategies - Direct responsibility for portfolio performance, with experience coordinating people and resources around investment objectives - A demonstrable record of generating competitive market returns - A demonstrable ability to source differentiated alpha and yield opportunities on-chain - Strong understanding of DeFi-specific risks, including smart contract vulnerabilities, depegging, liquidations, oracle failures, liquidity constraints, and counterparty exposure, with sound judgment in position sizing and hedging - Deep practical knowledge of the core DeFi stack, including AMMs, lending markets, perpetuals and derivatives, and stablecoin mechanics - A proactive, ownership-driven mindset, with the ambition to lead the portfolio and build a high-performing team as the fund grows What We Offer - Base compensation: competitive baseline compensation - Direct upside: significant percentage allocation in end-of-year profit sharing of accumulated fund performance fee, on the same level as management - High ownership and autonomy: freedom at every stage of the investment process including strategy, investment selection, methodologies, and more - Management involvement: input into decisions concerning evolution and growth of the firm
