Chief Marketing Officer
Head of Growth.

Gains runs one of the longest-standing perpetuals exchanges in DeFi. Traders get 300+ markets across crypto, forex, commodities, stocks and indices, all settled on-chain against a shared liquidity vault instead of a per-pair order book. Leverage goes up to 1000x on FX, 250x on commodities and up to 500x on selected crypto pairs. Live on Arbitrum, Polygon, Base and Solana. No signup, no custodian, no off-chain venue behind the curtain.

The edge is the asset universe and the leverage on top of it. Crypto-only venues cannot follow us into long-tail FX, commodities and exotics, and across most of that universe nobody offers more leverage. That is the reason a trader stays.

You own global distribution for Gains: the strategy, the budget, the channels, the team, and the number at the end of it.

That number is not volume and it is not followers. It is first-time traders acquired and the fees they go on to pay. Traded volume is segmentation. Impressions are not currency here.

Channels in scope, all of them yours

How you sit in the company

You work directly with the Project Leads and alongside Product, Data, BD, Trading and Engineering. You build the system yourself first, then you hire the team that runs it.

First and foremost, a crypto-native growth operator able to build global, measurable distribution. Not a brand or communications profile.

Crypto native

• Strong grasp of crypto, DeFi, perpetuals and retail trading.
• Lives on X, Telegram and Discord, and reads narratives, cycles and memes as they happen rather than a week later.
• Can explain a financially and technically complex product in plain language.
• Fluent English, comfortable with an international audience and an international team.

Distribution and launches

• Has activated a real network of KOLs, creators and affiliates, picked on ability to convert rather than on follower count.
• Has negotiated and structured distribution deals, with the tracking, incentives and fraud controls behind them.
• Has staged launch moments on X and can point to what they produced, not just an always-on content calendar.
• Opens new channels well beyond the personal network.

Numbers

• Works in CAC, activation, retention, payback and net contribution, and knows the difference between volume, fees and profitability.
• Follows a wallet from source through to net contribution, and refuses to scale a channel on impressions, followers or raw volume.
• Allocates budget on marginal return, and makes weekly scale / modify / kill calls.
• Works with Data and Product on instrumentation, and challenges the data when it looks too good.

Positioning and craft

• Sharp positioning instinct, and the ability to differentiate Gains in a crowded market.
• Strong copywriting, storytelling and creative direction, in crypto's own register.
• Understands what traders actually want: trust, execution, market coverage, UX, incentives and reliability.

Strong pluses, none of them required

• Already holds an active crypto network you can actually mobilise: KOLs, creators, affiliates, traders, communities, media and partners.
• Direct experience inside a DEX, CEX, wallet, DeFi protocol, broker or trading product.
• Track record growing a crypto product across several markets or geographies.
• Working knowledge of token mechanics, referrals, incentives, liquidity and community governance.
• Mobile acquisition and app growth.

You do not need all of it. This is the shape of a strong application, and the more of it you can point to with numbers, the better. Apply either way: if the profile is interesting we set up a call.

1. The KOL and creator network you have actually activated.
2. A UGC program you built and grew.
3. A launch you staged on X, and what it produced after the day itself.
4. Creators, content pieces and campaigns you have operated, in counts.
5. The marketing budget you have directly controlled.
6. First-time customers or traders you acquired.
7. The CAC, retention, revenue, contribution and payback you delivered.
8. One channel you decided to scale, one you changed and one you killed. And why.

• Remote, international, fast. Weekly operating cadence, short decision chains.
• Direct line to the Project Leads. No layer between you and the decision.
• Paid above market, and indexed on performance. A real salary in cash, set above the market rate for the seat, with a performance-linked component on top. The protocol turns over millions in fees a year with a small team, so that upside is funded by what the business actually earns rather than promised against a future round. Numbers are on the table on the first call, not saved for the end.
