Director, Institutional Distribution
viterbitBrooklyn (NY)
About the role
Your Mission:
Own how institutional capital accesses KPK. Institutional allocators are increasingly seeking credible, auditable exposure to on-chain yield, and kpk is well-positioned to serve as their counterpart. This role exists to close that gap: converting institutional interest into committed allocations across our three product lines, and building the distribution infrastructure to do it at scale.
Responsibilities:
Originate and convert relationships with institutional allocators (asset managers, hedge funds, and family offices) into committed allocations; Translate complex on-chain yield strategies into clear investment conviction, driving capital inflows from experienced allocators; Identify and develop strategic opportunities, including partnerships, co-investment structures, and distribution agreements that expand kpk's institutional reach; Contribute directly to product structuring and go-to-market strategy for new fund and vault products; Represent KPK at senior investor meetings, conferences, and industry forums relevant to institutional DeFi adoption.
About Us:
KPK is a non-custodial on-chain asset manager, active since 2021. We have managed over $2B in treasury assets for leading DeFi DAOs, including Balancer, CoW Protocol, Uniswap, Gnosis, and ENS, without a single loss of funds. We operate across three product lines: treasury management for DAO and institutional clients; curated vaults on Morpho, Euler, and Gearbox; and actively managed tokenised funds built on our proprietary on-chain fund infrastructure. Our edge is operational: non-custodial settlement, on-chain transparency, and a five-year track record of managing complex DeFi strategies without custody risk.
Compensation and Benefits:
Competitive base salary, commensurate with experience and location Performance bonus linked to AUM growth Flexible, globally distributed setup. 100% remote Direct interaction with leadership and meaningful influence over strategic direction Lean environment with no bureaucratic overhead
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
