## Description (the employer's text)

### ABOUT THE ROLE

RootstockLabs is seeking a visionary Fund Manager to architect, launch, and scale an institutional-grade, BTC-denominated investment fund from the ground up. This fund will enable institutional and private Bitcoin holders to unlock yield and manage credit risk through a mixed portfolio of strategies.

By bridging traditional institutional demand and Bitcoin-native yield generation, the fund serves as a trusted, regulated vehicle for deploying sophisticated capital.

As a founding leader, you will own the fund's strategy, portfolio construction, risk management framework, investor relations, and regulatory governance. This is a high-impact, greenfield opportunity to define a flagship financial product in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

### The mandate

- Objective: Deliver risk-adjusted returns measured in BTC, with principal preservation in BTC terms as the first priority.
- Vehicle: Cayman Islands SPC, CIMA-registered, with independent directors and a third-party administrator, auditor and custodian.
- Investors: L1 foundations and treasuries, ecosystem funds and selected institutional allocators seeking BTC exposure with yield.
- Strategies: BTC-collateralised lending, market-neutral and basis strategies, liquidity provision, and yield on Rootstock and other Bitcoin-aligned venues, within board-approved limits. Directional exposure and unhedged leverage are out of scope unless the board expressly approves them.
- Target size: $500 million committed capital within 12 months of launch.
### KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

### Investment and portfolio management

- Set the fund's investment strategy, allocation policy and limits, and take them through board approval.
- Source, diligence and execute positions across BTC lending, basis and on-chain yield strategies.
- Run counterparty and protocol due diligence, including smart-contract, bridge, custody and liquidation risk.
- Report performance in BTC terms, with clear attribution by strategy.
### Risk management

- Build the risk framework: exposure limits, concentration, liquidity buckets, collateral haircuts and drawdown triggers.
- Monitor positions daily and stress-test against BTC price shocks, venue failure and depeg events.
- Maintain a liquidity profile that matches investor redemption terms.
### Investor relations and capital raising

- Raise capital from L1 foundations, ecosystem funds and institutional allocators, within applicable marketing and solicitation rules.
- Structure share classes, side letters and terms suited to foundation treasuries.
- Produce monthly investor reporting and quarterly letters; lead investor calls and annual meetings.
### Governance, compliance and operations

- Work with the board, independent directors, AML officers (AMLCO/MLRO), administrator, auditor and legal counsel.
- Own the offering documents, valuation policy and NAV process alongside the administrator.
- Ensure ongoing regulatory compliance, including CIMA filings, AML/KYC on investors and annual audit.
- Select and manage service providers: custodians, prime brokers, OTC desks and on-chain infrastructure.
### Team and ecosystem

- Hire and lead a small team (analyst, risk, operations) as the fund scales.
- Act as the fund's senior voice with L1 ecosystems, and feed investor demand back into Rootstock's product roadmap.
### WHAT YOU BRING

- 10+ years in asset management, credit, or trading, with at least 5 years as a portfolio manager or CIO with P&L responsibility.
- A track record managing a regulated fund or institutional mandate, ideally $100M+ AUM.
- Deep, hands-on knowledge of Bitcoin markets, BTC-collateralised lending, derivatives and basis trades.
- Working knowledge of DeFi mechanics: lending protocols, liquidity pools, bridges and their failure modes.
- Strong fund governance experience: offering documents, NAV and valuation, audit, and working with independent boards.
- Existing relationships with crypto foundations, treasuries or institutional allocators, and a record of raising capital.
- Able to meet director and key-person fitness and propriety standards in the fund's jurisdiction, with a clean regulatory history.
