"About The Role"
About This Role
This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of geoeconomics and emerging technology, advising governments on how decentralized systems, digital currencies, and smart contracts are redrawing the map of global power and prosperity. You'll work alongside policymakers tackling some of the most consequential questions of our time: how nations can harness crypto and web3 innovation while safeguarding stability, sovereignty, and inclusion.
What You'll Be Doing
Research and analyze how blockchain adoption, digital asset markets, and DeFi ecosystems are influencing global economic competition and national strategy
Translate complex technical concepts around distributed ledgers and smart contracts into clear, actionable policy guidance for government partners
Monitor regulatory trends across jurisdictions to help shape pragmatic, forward-looking crypto and digital asset frameworks
Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including technologists, economists, and policy strategists—to craft recommendations that balance innovation with risk
Produce briefings, reports, and strategic memos that influence real-world decision-making at the highest levels of government
Build relationships with stakeholders across the web3 ecosystem, from protocol teams to international institutions
What We're Looking For
Strong analytical background in economics, international relations, public policy, or a related field
Demonstrated interest in or knowledge of blockchain, cryptocurrency, and decentralized finance ecosystems
Ability to synthesize complex technical and geopolitical information into compelling, accessible narratives
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience producing policy-grade documentation
Comfort operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where digital asset policy is still being written
Collaborative mindset with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Bonus Points
Prior experience working with governments, think tanks, or multilateral organizations on digital asset or fintech policy
Familiarity with smart contract architecture, tokenomics, or distributed systems design
Existing network within the crypto, web3, or blockchain policy community
Knowledge of specific regional regulatory approaches to digital currencies and decentralized finance
Why Join Us
Shape global policy at the frontier of blockchain innovation and geoeconomic strategy
Work alongside world-class experts dedicated to driving meaningful, large-scale change
Enjoy a collaborative, mission-driven culture with flexibility and genuine impact
Access continuous learning opportunities in one of the fastest-evolving sectors in technology and policy
