Who We Are
The Solana Foundation is a non-profit based in Zug, Switzerland, dedicated to the adoption, decentralization, and security of the Solana network. Solana is a high performance blockchain that can deliver a fast and friendly user experience, without sacrificing security. The Solana Foundation is working to realize a world where individuals own their data, use permissionless networks, and transfer information and value freely around the world. We are looking for talented people who are willing to jump right in and use their expertise to help the ecosystem build.
What We Do
The Growth team at Solana Foundation builds strategic partnerships with enterprises, financial institutions, regulators, and Web3 communities globally. We work across payments, tokenization, DeFi, and Web2 integrations to accelerate adoption of Solana's high-performance blockchain.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a Head of Institutional Growth, Japan to lead our efforts in one of the world's most advanced markets for technology and finance. You will direct Solana Foundation's engagement strategy in Japan, developing deep relationships with senior stakeholders at mega banks, regulators, and large payment companies, while also supporting Web3 builders and enterprise partners.
