While much of on-chain finance is focused on point solutions, we operate across the entire stack to offer best-in-class vault products. Today we serve over $1.5B in client TVL across some of the largest fintechs/neobanks, protocols, exchanges, and capital allocators in crypto - and, increasingly, traditional asset management. Our team brings together traditional finance and crypto-native expertise to deliver durable, sophisticated products for institutional clients moving on-chain.\nThe role\nThe Capital Markets team sources institutional borrow demand into Gauntlet's credit markets, structures terms, and operates the resulting book over time. You will work directly with institutional counterparties, including market makers, OTC desks, trading firms, KYC-regulated borrowers, and tokenized asset issuers, to source, structure, and close credit relationships.\nYou will own the process end-to-end. Long-term relationship maintenance, renewal, and expansion are part of the role.\n\nWhat you'll do;\nOriginate institutional borrow demand across collateralized lending, trading and hedging strategies, structured credit, and liquidity products - from prime brokerages, trading firms, and asset-backed lending partners.\n Build the borrower pipeline across three segments: (1) unique-market-access counterparties (e.g. RWAs); (2) committed-supply-at-scale borrowers (market makers, OTC desks, trading desks); (3) KYC-gated counterparties (regulated borrowers who cannot legally use open pools).\nStructure and close term sheets - negotiate rate, term, size, and collateral; coordinate KYC, gating, and onboarding through to close.\nMaintain the book you originate. Long-term relationship maintenance, renewal, and expansion are owned by Capital Markets.\n Operationalize and document the first on-chain borrow products (starting with our current pilot) so the process is repeatable as deal volume grows, and manage inbound interest as we execute more deals.\nWork cross-functionally with Credit Risk, Strategy & Growth, Product, and Engineering on operational integration\n Contribute to credit terms guidance (what we offer, minimum rate, maximum term) set with Credit Risk.\nWhat success looks like;\nFirst 30 days. Ramp on Gauntlet's infrastructure and partnerships across lending markets, vaults and structured products. Meet the key internal stakeholders across Credit Risk, Strategy and Growth, Product, and Engineering, as well as counterparties in the existing book.
