About Jito
Company context from the listing:
Jito Network is Solana’s Market Layer -- the execution, capital, and incentives protocols that allow the onchain economy to function. These protocols include BAM, Solana’s next-generation block building infrastructure built to support Internet Capital Markets; JTX, Jito’s professional trading desk, which brings institutional-grade market access infrastructure directly to users; JitoSOL, the ideal currency for ICM; and JTO, Jito’s value-capture token that benefits from Solana’s growth and governs
About the Role
Day-to-day scope for the Growth Lead, Korea & APAC as described in the posting:
Korea is already one of our largest markets by volume, and demand has only accelerated as we bring JTX, our Solana-native trading terminal, to traders across the region. To meet that moment, we're looking for one person to own growth across APAC, with Korea as the primary market and Chinese-speaking regions (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore) and Japan as the next frontier.
This is the APAC growth function in a single person. You are not an agency liaison, a translator, or a localization vendor.
Ideally you're based in South Korea.
What You'll Do
Day-to-day scope for the Growth Lead, Korea & APAC as described in the posting:
Own content on our channels. Create and publish original Korean-language content for JTX and Jito Network across X, Telegram, and other relevant regional platforms.
Build the creator network directly. Cultivate and maintain your own network of Korean crypto KOLs, YouTubers, Telegram group admins, and community leaders.
Run partnerships and PR. Manage creator and media partnerships as extensions of the strategy, not the strategy itself: sourcing, briefing, creative review, and performance tracking.
Lead APAC expansion. Extend the playbook to other priority markets including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and Japan.
Be the eyes and ears in-region. Join global marketing syncs and surface what the team in the US and Europe can't see.
What We're Looking For
Must-haves
- Based in South Korea
- Native Korean speaker with professional English; Mandarin proficiency a strong plus
- A deep, existing network in Korean crypto across creators, communities, media, and partners
- Real fluency in the Korean retail crypto audience: the everyday Upbit traders, the Telegram communities, and the YouTube channels that actually drive volume
- A track record of creating content yourself, not just managing others who do
- Experience running creator and media partnership programs, with the judgment to know what fair terms and strong performance look like in the Korean market
- Self-directed, comfortable owning outcomes and operating autonomously across a large time zone gap
Nice-to-haves
- Experience extending growth playbooks into other APAC markets (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan)
- A point of view on Solana, DeFi, or onchain trading products
- Experience marketing a 0 to 1 product still finding its audience
What Success Looks Like in Your First 90 Days
- Korean-language content publishing consistently across the channels that matter
- A real, direct network of Korean creators, with several actively posting about JTX from genuine usage
- Partnership and PR programs running with clear accountability and tracked performance
- A measurable lift in JTX adoption attributable to APAC efforts
- A written assessment of secondary markets (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan) with a recommendation on where to go next
- A clear weekly reporting cadence: what shipped, what's working, what's not
