Nansen is the leading onchain analytics platform, trusted by traders, funds, and protocols across crypto. We started as explorers — data engineers and scientists charting territory nobody else could see. Now we're building a new way to trade: agentic, onchain, fully integrated.

You'll work directly with Pete Sady (VP Revenue & Partnerships) and drive how Nansen competes and wins with traders globally.

Our mission: Surface the signal and create winners.

What you'll do at Nansen

You own trading revenue. Not "influence" it. Not "partner on" it. Own it.

Trading User Growth

  • Build and execute acquisition strategies for crypto-native traders.
  • Drive trading volume and fee revenue.
  • Find and fix activation blockers with product and engineering. If users sign up and don't trade, that's your problem to solve
  • Design incentive and referral mechanics that convert

Affiliate & Distribution

  • Run the trading-focused affiliate program end-to-end: find the right creators, activate them, cut the ones who don't perform
  • Scale content and creator partnerships that drive real top-of-funnel
  • Run structured growth experiments: A/B tests, cohort analysis, channel tests. Shut down what isn't working before it becomes a habit

Team Leadership

  • Lead a team of Growth Leads driving trading revenues. You set the bar, you hold people to it
  • Set direction and frameworks — then get out of the way and let the team execute
  • Hire as we scale. You'll build this function, not just manage it
What we're looking for
  • 5+ years in growth, GTM, or affiliate management with revenue outcomes you can point to
  • 2+ years managing affiliates or KOLs in crypto. You know who actually moves volume and who's just noise
  • You've built and led a team. You set direction, hire well, and hold people accountable
  • Deep crypto native. You understand how traders think, where they hang out, and what makes them switch platforms. If you don't trade yourself, this isn't the role
  • You work at both altitudes: GTM strategy and market positioning one day, pipeline reviews and campaign tweaks the next. This is a build-and-run role, not a strategy deck role
  • Bonus: hands-on experience with onchain analytics tools (Nansen, Dune, Arkham) or time at a crypto exchange
What we offer our crew
  • Competitive salary. Meaningful equity. Real ownership in what you build
  • NYC preferred with flexible scheduling — we're building out the US team and want this role anchored in New York
  • Annual company retreat and team off-sites in one of our offices: Singapore, Bangkok, London, and Oslo — flights and accommodation covered
  • Unlimited AI tokens — Claude, OpenAI, whatever helps you move fast
  • Your own OpenClaw for work
  • Nansen Pro account: giving you full access to the most detailed onchain data in the market
  • A team that started as data engineers and data scientists that has grown to over 80 builders. Your craft is respected here.
  • Speed, ownership, curiosity, courage. These aren't values on a wall — they're how we run.
  • A front-row seat (and a hand in building) the next chapter of finance

Work visa sponsorship is not provided for this role.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
