Description
Digital Assets Research Lead
Location: Fully Remote
Type: Full-time
We’re looking for a rare breed: a researcher who doesn’t just follow the market — but shapes how the smartest capital thinks about it. We are building a world-class digital assets investment capability and seeking a Digital Assets Research Lead — someone who lives at the intersection of deep research, narrative intelligence, and high-conviction investing. This is not a support role. You will be one of the key voices defining our investment worldview in one of the most dynamic asset classes in history.
What you’ll own:
Lead the creation of high-conviction investment theses that drive actual capital allocation
Discover and deeply analyze emerging narratives weeks or months before they go mainstream
Translate complex on-chain, macroeconomic, and sector-specific signals into clear strategic recommendations
Build and maintain a repeatable research process that consistently finds asymmetric opportunities
Challenge the team’s assumptions and stress-test bullish cases with intellectual rigor
Occasionally represent our market perspective through thought leadership
Who you are:
You have 5+ years of intense experience in digital assets (professional or exceptional independent track record)
You’ve developed a reputation for seeing around corners in this market
You combine obsessive on-chain research with sophisticated macro thinking
You write with clarity, conviction, and persuasive power
You’re intellectually independent and unafraid to take contrarian positions when the data supports it
You’re energized by turning research into real-world results
What we offer:
Salary: $195,000 – $260,000 USD base + significant performance-based bonus
Large portion of total compensation can be delivered in digital assets / USDT
Fully remote with flexible hours (US time zones)
Unlimited budget for the best data tools and research subscriptions
Generous travel allowance for key industry events
Direct influence on how multi-million dollar portfolios are positioned
If you’re the kind of person who gets genuinely excited by finding the next major narrative shift before the crowd piles in — and you want your work to materially move capital — this role offers something truly special.
