About Kamino

Kamino's mission is to create liquidity and utility for every asset. We want the world's best investments to be available through the financial platforms people already trust, and we want investors to be able to borrow against what they own when they need liquidity, instead of having to sell.

Today, the most valuable assets in the world are often the least useful to own. Trillions of dollars sit in private markets, behind high minimums and holding periods that can run for years. Tokenization is starting to move these assets onto shared, programmable infrastructure, but putting an asset onchain is only the first step. To be useful, it still needs distribution, compliance, servicing, credit and liquidity.

Kamino already runs the credit and liquidity engine at scale. It is the largest credit protocol on Solana and the largest credit platform for real-world assets onchain, with more than $650 billion in cumulative transaction volume and more than $20 billion in loans originated.

Now we are building the rest of that system for institutions. Kamino recently named Yieldstreet co-founder Michael Weisz as CEO and is building a new HQ in New York, alongside the asset managers and financial platforms that will shape this market. Almost none of that market exists yet, and we intend to build it.

Build and lead growth across Kamino’s direct and partner-distributed financial products.

The role

Kamino is hiring a VP of Growth to turn our direct and partner-distributed financial products into sustained growth in funded customers, retained capital and revenue. You will set the growth strategy across acquisition, activation, retention and cross-product adoption, own the growth plan and investment priorities, and be accountable for measurable business outcomes.

This is a senior leadership role for a hands-on builder. You will own the growth budget, forecasts and targets, establish measurement and launch the foundational programs, then build and lead the team to scale them. Your remit includes lifecycle, referrals, partner distribution and paid acquisition—not a single channel or discipline.

Success means customers put capital to work, stay active and generate lasting value after acquisition and incentive costs.

Key responsibilities

Build and lead the Growth function. Set the strategy, operating plan, budget and targets across direct and partner-distributed products. Build the initial programs, hire and develop a high-performing team, and hold the function accountable for results.

Acquire funded customers. Build paid acquisition alongside other high-potential channels. Own channel economics, creative testing and conversion across marketing-controlled journeys.

Build lifecycle and retention. Establish the CRM, automation and customer programs that drive repeat use, cross-product adoption, retained capital and reactivation.

Activate partner distribution. Work with Business Development and partners to turn access through wallets, exchanges and financial applications into funded customer activity and revenue.

Invest against measurable results. Own attribution, experimentation and growth forecasts. Make investment trade-offs with senior leadership and Finance, allocating spending and incentives based on customer quality, incremental growth and payback—including whether activity lasts after rewards end.

What you bring

10+ years of growth experience, including leadership of a multi-channel Growth function for a D2C financial product and direct experience serving U.S. customers.

A record of growing funded customers, retained balances, repeat activity or revenue while maintaining strong acquisition economics and customer quality.

A record of building and leading a Growth function in a lean company: setting strategy and targets, doing foundational work personally, and hiring and developing the specialists and leaders who scaled it.

The ability to lead across acquisition and lifecycle, with deep expertise in at least one of paid acquisition or lifecycle and the judgment to hire strong specialists. Paid acquisition is one part of the broader growth remit.
