Institutional Relations Lead

Chainlink Labs is hiring an Institutional Relations Lead to build and run a disciplined institutional relations function for the Chainlink ecosystem. This is a newly created, senior individual contributor role with a clear and commercially critical mandate: Build and own Chainlink's relationships with sell-side research analysts, create institutional-grade content that drives informed coverage of Chainlink, and support broader marketing efforts to the institutional community.

This is a "build" role, not maintenance; you will own the narrative that institutions and capital-markets counterparties hear about Chainlink, constructing the strategy, materials, and relationships from scratch.

The successful candidate must navigate the distinctions among Chainlink Labs, the decentralised Chainlink Network, communicating these nuances to a sophisticated audience spanning traditional asset managers, crypto-native funds, and sovereign institutions.

Build and maintain a structured coverage program for sell-side research analysts at firms covering crypto, fintech, and digital assets.

Serve as a primary point of contact between Chainlink Labs and the sell-side analyst community

Proactively brief analysts regarding major announcements, protocol upgrades, and partnership milestones.

Facilitate access to Chainlink Labs' executive team and technical leadership for deep-dive analyst sessions.

Track analyst sentiment, coverage gaps, and broader digital asset research coverage — and report findings to executive leadership.

Author institutional-grade research content including white papers, deep-dives, tokenomics explainers, newsletters, and blogs.

Translate complex protocol mechanics, on-chain data, and revenue models into clear, compelling narratives for institutions.

Develop a regular cadence of public-facing materials — quarterly data packets, use case briefings, and market positioning updates — that analysts and allocators can reference and cite.

Partner with internal teams (product, economics, legal) to ensure all content is accurate, approved, and consistent with Chainlink's public positioning.

Support the broader institutional strategy by engaging directly with accredited audiences who engage with digital assets.

Contribute to building and maintaining a CRM of qualified institutional and accredited contacts.

Collaborate with the PR function to secure podcast appearances, financial media placements, and speaking opportunities that reinforce the institutional narrative.
