Institutional Growth Advisor (Part-Time)

About the Role

Starknet is looking for an Institutional Growth Advisor (Part-Time) to help us understand how the world's largest financial institutions are thinking about digital asset infrastructure. This is a part-time, advisory engagement built for someone who is currently working inside a top-tier bank or fund's digital assets team on the business or product side. You'll bring insight into how institutions evaluate build-vs-buy decisions for blockchain infrastructure, help us understand where Starknet fits into institutional roadmaps, and open doors where it makes sense. This is a low-commitment, high-signal engagement for someone who wants to stay close to the frontier of institutional crypto adoption without leaving their current seat.

How You Can Make an Impact

• Advise the Foundation on how institutional players (banks, asset managers, exchanges) are approaching blockchain and digital asset infrastructure decisions
• Help the Foundation understand where institutional digital assets teams are in their adoption journey, and what a decision-making rubric for external infrastructure partners looks like.
• Where appropriate, facilitate introductions to relevant stakeholders within your network.
• Participate in periodic advisory calls with the Starknet Foundation team.

Who You Are

• Currently employed on the digital assets team at a top-tier bank or fund (e.g. Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Citi, BNP Paribas, Bank of America) - specifically working on the business or product space.
• Deep understanding of how institutions think about blockchain adoption, on-chain infrastructure, build vs buy, and digital asset strategy.
• Comfortable sharing candid, high-level insight in an advisory capacity - no confidential or proprietary information required or expected.
• Well-networked within institutional digital assets circles; able to make introductions where useful.
• Not required to be crypto-native - your value is your institutional vantage point, not prior on-chain experience.

Logistics:

• Remote and flexible: this is a part-time advisor engagement designed to sit alongside your current full-time role, not replace it.
• Ideal candidate is based in a major financial hub (e.g. New York City), though remote candidates in other hubs may be considered.
• Hours are variable and low-commitment; monthly time expectations and retainer will be worked out directly with the candidate.
