Initially developed by the Aave Companies, the Aave protocol is open-source software that enables users to supply and borrow cryptoassets and earn interest on those assets.

  • Work with Head of Growth to create a comprehensive program to establish Aave as the preferred future DeFi partner for financial institutions
  • Use reputation and expertise in the institutional financial market to establish strong relationships with institutions and regulatory decision-makers
  • Identifying institutional requirements to inform new products and features
  • Develop networks with decision-makers on internal teams and at senior leadership levels
  • Be a spokesperson for the Aave Companies with traditional financial institutions

Requirements

  • 7 to 10+ years of relevant experience in financial services (buy side and or sell side)
  • Passionate about crypto and decentralization with a foundational knowledge of crypto products (staking, DeFi etc.)
  • Strong reputation and extensive network of US corporates, hedge funds, and financial institutions to leverage
  • Existing track record in client relationship management processes and best practices
  • Positive and team player attitude is a must
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • BA/BS degree. MBA or CFA preferred.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
