ppThe bMonad Foundation /b is a team of dedicated ecosystem and community builders who are on a mission to massively grow the impact of decentralized tech. We believe that the Monad blockchain--the performant and parallel EVM Layer 1--will help decentralized apps eat the world.br/The bThe Role /b br/The Monad Foundation is looking for a Head of Japan to win large institutional business and establish Monad as credible financial infrastructure in one of the world's most important capital markets.br/This is, first and foremost, an institutional business development role. Japan is a high-value but demanding market: serious adoption follows local credibility, regulated channels, and trusted relationships. Your primary mandate is to identify, structure, and close institutional deals with Japan's leading financial institutions, enterprises, and infrastructure providers across payments, stablecoins, tokenization/RWA, and capital markets.br/Alongside that, you will own Monad's brand presence in Japan — building the foundation's reputation, relationships, and mindshare with the institutions, regulators, and ecosystem partners who shape the market. You will be Monad Foundation's senior representative in the country and the owner of its Japan strategy end to end.br/bWhat You Will Do /b br/bWin institutional business (primary mandate) /bbr/ /pulliOwn institutional business development for Japan: identify, negotiate, and close strategic deals that put real activity, flows, and assets on Monad, across megabanks, trust banks, securities firms, payment companies, exchanges, and large enterprises. /liliBuild and structure commercial partnerships in Monad's priority pillars: stablecoin issuance and payments, tokenization and RWAs, on-chain settlement, and institutional capital markets use cases. /liliDevelop senior relationships with the institutions that matter most in Japan and convert them into concrete launches with clear owners, timelines, and usage paths. /liliHelp build the prerequisites for serious BD to scale: regulated pathways for stablecoins on Monad, exchange relationships,



and the local credibility that institutional counterparties require before they commit. /liliRun deals with commercial discipline — clear milestones, real product launches, and a usage path beyond announcements and vanity partnerships. /li /ulbEstablish Monad's brand and presence (secondary mandate) /bbr/ulliOwn Monad's overall go-to-market and positioning in Japan, building the foundation's reputation as credible, long-term financial infrastructure rather than just another blockchain. /liliBuild and nurture relationships with key regional stakeholders — exchanges, enterprises, ecosystem builders, media, and regulatory bodies, to expand Monad's standing and mindshare. /liliRepresent Monad Foundation at the senior level with institutions, partners, and the local industry, and serve as the trusted face of Monad Foundation in the market. /liliStay ahead of Japan's evolving regulatory landscape (FSA, JVCEA, and related bodies) and translate it into high-impact opportunities and a clear-eyed view of what is and isn't possible. /li /ulbWho You Are /bbr/ulli8+ years of business development experience, including 4+ years in blockchain, digital assets, or Web3 with a track record of closing large, complex institutional deals. /liliDeep understanding of the Japanese market and extensive experience engaging and selling to Japan's largest financial institutions and enterprises. /liliA robust, senior network across Japanese banks, trust banks, securities firms, payment companies, enterprises, and Web3 players and the ability to open doors at decision-maker level. /liliStrong command of how Web3 maps to institutional strategy — why an institution would issue a stablecoin,



tokenize an asset, or move settlement on-chain, and where the real commercial value sits. /liliSharp read on where major Japanese corporates and regulators are heading on digital assets, and the foresight to position Monad early. /liliA self-starter who owns initiatives from first conversation to closed deal and live launch. /liliNative-level fluency in Japanese and professional fluency in English (written and verbal). /li /ulbNice to Have /bbr/ulliDeep connectivity into Japanese exchanges and an understanding of the listing landscape. /liliConsiderable expertise and relationships with Japanese regulators and industry bodies. /liliExperience guiding market entry for Web3 startups, including strategic guidance, local insight, and connectivity. /liliStrong understanding of and connectivity into Japanese financial and tech media. /liliEntrepreneurial experience across the startup lifecycle, including fundraising, product launches, and operations. /liliSolid technical understanding of blockchains and the EVM. /li /ulbLocation /bbr/ulliThis role is based in Japan (Tokyo). /li /ulbWhy Work with Us /bbr/ulliChallenging problems. You’ll tackle deeply complex and technically demanding problems, with autonomy and impact. /liliEndless Opportunity for Impact. The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) standard is ubiquitous, but existing EVM-compatible chains are slow and bandwidth-constrained. Monad’s core innovations offer developers and founders the best of both worlds (portability and performance) and are a game-changer to power integral on-chain finance. /liliThe right team. You’ll be part of a world class team, who are exceptional and highly-motivated. /liliCulture. We’re a lean team working together to achieve very ambitious goals. We are united in our culture of collaboration, low ego, and high-quality output. /liliStrong Ecosystem. The broader Monad ecosystem has attracted support from leading investors, builders and long-term contributors. /li /ul /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
