- Fluency in Mandarin and/or Cantonese, and strong English communication skills
- High agency and sound judgment. This role operates with significant independence and limited supervision

Other
- Ellipsis Labs is a profitable, venture-backed New York-based startup building sustainable and efficient DeFi protocols on high-throughput decentralized infrastructure. Our long-term goal is to build a better financial system.
- Our flagship product, Phoenix Perpetuals, brings professional-grade perpetual futures to Solana. Building on our experience developing efficient markets, Ellipsis Labs also operates SolFi, a proprietary automated market maker that provides efficient liquidity for key trading pairs. Our foundational product, Phoenix Legacy, is a limit order book on the Solana blockchain that established our expertise in operating high-performance markets. Combined, these products have facilitated over $285B in trading volume across Solana markets.
- Ellipsis Labs is seeking a Growth Manager to build and activate our presence across Asian crypto markets. Our go-to-market today is largely driven by social media, and we need boots on the ground to develop the local relationships, market intelligence, and trust that a remote presence can't replicate. This is an early and high-ownership role: you will be the company's primary bridge to one of the most important trading ecosystems in the world.
- In this role, you will:
- Map the Asian crypto trading landscape, including understanding who the key retail traders, whale accounts, and market makers are, where they're active, and what they care about
- Build and cultivate relationships with high-value traders and ecosystem participants across Asia
- Develop and execute a strategy for winning a meaningful segment of Asian traders onto Phoenix, with a focus on retail-whale accounts
- Represent Ellipsis Labs at industry events and in direct community settings, including with KOLs and key trading communities
- Surface market intelligence back to the team: competitive dynamics, trader preferences, emerging platforms, and shifts in sentiment
- Work closely with the broader team to refine our regional strategy over time
