Head of Tokenomics
Location: Remote
Employment: Full-time
Compensation: $210,000 – $275,000 USD per year (base), depending on experience
About the role
We’re hiring a Head of Tokenomics to own the design, modeling, and ongoing governance of our token economy. You’ll turn product and growth goals into sustainable incentive systems—balancing supply, demand, emissions, utility, and risk so the token supports real usage rather than short-term speculation.
Responsibilities
Own the tokenomics roadmap: emissions, vesting, utility, sinks/sources, and governance parameters
Build and maintain economic models (supply schedules, incentive budgets, liquidity, treasury runway)
Partner with Product, Protocol, and Growth to align incentives with user and ecosystem behavior
Design and stress-test mechanisms against farming, wash activity, and misaligned rewards
Prepare clear proposals and docs for leadership, community, or governance review
Define KPIs (retention quality, incentive efficiency, treasury health, liquidity depth) and track outcomes post-launch
Coordinate with Legal/Compliance on disclosures and jurisdiction-sensitive design choices
Lead reviews after major parameter changes; recommend adjustments with data-backed rationale
Requirements
5+ years in crypto, fintech, economics, or quantitative product roles; 2+ years owning token or incentive design
Strong grasp of token supply dynamics, vesting, liquidity incentives, and governance mechanics
Ability to model scenarios in spreadsheets/Python (or similar) and explain tradeoffs clearly
Experience shipping or materially revising a live token system, points program, or DeFi incentive framework
Excellent written communication for specs, RFCs, and stakeholder updates
Comfort working async with engineering, research, and go-to-market teams
Nice-to-haves
Background in DeFi protocols, L2 ecosystems, or exchange/token launch programs
Familiarity with on-chain analytics (Dune, similar) and governance tooling
Prior work with auditors, market makers, or institutional partners on token launches
How to apply
Apply via LinkedIn with 2–3 bullets on a token or incentive system you’ve owned and the outcome.
