Head of Marketing

About GRVT

GRVT is the only exchange architected on its own yield-generating, tokenized deposit layer — where every dollar is instantly transformed into a productive, yield-bearing asset. Capital compounds continuously across trading, investing, and spending, without ever leaving self-custody or going idle.

Where traditional exchanges force a tradeoff between yield generation and capital deployment, GRVT eliminates that constraint entirely. Tokenized deposits function simultaneously as margin, yield instruments, and liquidity primitives — compounding across the full lifecycle of capital, from fiat on-ramp to perpetuals trading, institutional vaults, and real-world spending.

Built on a dedicated privacy chain powered by zkSync Prividium, GRVT delivers CEX-grade performance with on-chain settlement — fully self-custodial by design. The company is founded by alumni from Goldman Sachs, Meta, and DBS.

About the Team

The Marketing function at GRVT operates as a strategic growth engine at the intersection of narrative, capital, and network effects. We shape how on-chain trading is understood, adopted, and scaled globally — across perpetuals, spot, options, and emerging investment networks.

We integrate brand, growth, and community into a unified operating system, partnering closely with Product, BD, and Design to drive measurable adoption. Our mandate is not just awareness — but market positioning, liquidity activation, and long-term ecosystem expansion within the Web3 and institutional landscape.

What You’ll Do

We are seeking a Head of Marketing who operates as a market strategist, narrative architect, and ecosystem builder — capable of translating product innovation into market dominance. This role requires both high-level strategic thinking and hands-on execution, augmented by AI-native workflows.

1. GTM & Growth Strategy

• Own and orchestrate a global marketing strategy across brand, growth, content, and ecosystem expansion.

• Lead end-to-end go-to-market (GTM) strategies for token launches, major product releases, and platform milestones — from narrative design to liquidity and adoption outcomes.

• Architect and execute GRVT’s Token Generation Event (TGE) strategy as a top priority, spanning pre-launch positioning, exchange listings, and sustained post-TGE engagement.

• Design multi-phase campaign systems aligned with product, tokenomics, and partnership roadmaps to ensure precision in timing and messaging.

• Shape market understanding of token utility, governance, and staking mechanisms for a sophisticated DeFi audience.

2. Community, Liquidity & Network Effects (Upgraded)

• Design and scale GRVT’s community as a strategic growth and liquidity layer, not just a communication channel.

• Architect network effects across X (Twitter), Discord, Telegram, and emerging platforms — driving compounding engagement, retention, and on-chain participation.

• Build structured community systems (ambassador programs, contributor loops, incentive design) that convert users into advocates, liquidity providers, and long-term ecosystem participants.

• Lead high-impact activations (AMAs, campaigns, trading competitions, governance participation) tied directly to product adoption and capital inflows.

• Continuously optimise community signal quality, engagement depth, and conversion into trading and staking behaviours.

3. Brand, Narrative & Market Positioning

• Define and evolve GRVT’s positioning as a category-defining exchange at the intersection of self-custody, yield, and trading infrastructure.

• Craft high-conviction narratives that resonate across retail, institutional, and developer audiences.

• Lead a multi-channel content strategy that simplifies complex DeFi primitives into compelling, conversion-driven storytelling.

• Establish GRVT as a thought leader in on-chain trading, capital efficiency, and tokenized financial infrastructure.

4. Strategic Partnerships & Ecosystem Expansion

• Build and manage high-leverage relationships with KOLs, crypto media, exchanges, and DeFi protocols.

• Identify and execute co-marketing and co-liquidity opportunities with ecosystem partners, launchpads, and infrastructure players.

• Expand GRVT’s presence within the broader Web3 ecosystem, driving both brand credibility and user acquisition through partnerships.

5. Performance Marketing & Token Promotion

• Own the full performance marketing stack — including paid acquisition, SEO/SEM, and growth experimentation.

• Maintain rigorous tracking of CAC, LTV, activation, and retention metrics across all funnels.

• Lead coordinated token promotion strategies across community, content, paid, and partner channels.

• Build a culture of experimentation, analytics, and continuous optimisation.

6. Team & Operating System

• Build and lead a high-performance marketing organisation across growth, content, brand, and community functions.

• Establish a scalable marketing operating system — integrating planning, execution, analytics, and feedback loops.

• Drive cross-functional leadership and alignment across Product, BD, Design, and Leadership teams to ensure cohesive execution of GTM priorities.

• Lead complex, cross-regional marketing initiatives and act as the central owner of major strategic projects (e.g. TGE, product launches, ecosystem campaigns).

• Own and manage the global marketing budget, with clear reporting on ROI, growth impact, and strategic outcomes.

• Leverage AI tools to enhance speed, quality, and scalability across content, analytics, and campaign execution.
