From the employer

Ellipsis Labs is a profitable, venture-backed New York-based startup building sustainable and efficient DeFi protocols on high-throughput decentralized infrastructure. Our long-term goal is to build a better financial system.

Our flagship product, Phoenix Perpetuals, brings professional-grade perpetual futures to Solana. Building on our experience developing efficient markets, Ellipsis Labs also operates SolFi, a proprietary automated market maker that provides efficient liquidity for key trading pairs. Our foundational product, Phoenix Legacy, is a limit order book on the Solana blockchain that established our expertise in operating high-performance markets. Combined, these products have facilitated over $285B in trading volume across Solana markets.

Ellipsis Labs is seeking a Growth Manager to build and activate our presence across Asian crypto markets. Our go-to-market today is largely driven by social media, and we need boots on the ground to develop the local relationships, market intelligence, and trust that a remote presence can't replicate. This is an early and high-ownership role: you will be the company's primary bridge to one of the most important trading ecosystems in the world.

In this role, you will:

Map the Asian crypto trading landscape, including understanding who the key retail traders, whale accounts, and market makers are, where they're active, and what they care about
Build and cultivate relationships with high-value traders and ecosystem participants across Asia
Develop and execute a strategy for winning a meaningful segment of Asian traders onto Phoenix, with a focus on retail-whale accounts
Represent Ellipsis Labs at industry events and in direct community settings, including with KOLs and key trading communities
Surface market intelligence back to the team: competitive dynamics, trader preferences, emerging platforms, and shifts in sentiment
Work closely with the broader team to refine our regional strategy over time

Qualifications

Required

Deep roots in crypto, with experience that spans multiple market cycles
Strong existing network in the Asian trading ecosystem, with relationships you can activate immediately

Fluency in Mandarin and/or Cantonese, and strong English communication skills
High agency and sound judgment. This role operates with significant independence and limited supervision

Preferred

Existing relationships with whale traders, market makers, or institutional accounts in the region
Experience with on-chain trading products, perpetuals, or DeFi protocols
Comfort traveling within the region and to the US 8 weeks/year to work alongside the team in person
