About AIVM

AIVM is an AI‑native Layer‑1 blockchain designed to power the next generation of decentralized AI infrastructure, agents, and compute markets. Built at the intersection of AI, blockchain, and real economic utility, AIVM aims to become the foundational execution and settlement layer for AI workloads in Web3.

The Role

We are looking for a high‑credibility Web3 CEO with a proven track record of leading blockchain or infrastructure‑scale crypto projects. This is not a ceremonial role. You will own the vision, execution, and commercial success of AIVM, lead VC fundraising and strategic partnerships, drive product direction, ecosystem growth, and adoption, build, manage, and inspire a world‑class cross‑functional team, and represent AIVM publicly as the trusted face of the blockchain.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end‑to‑end strategy for AIVM as a Layer‑1 blockchain, defining and executing the long‑term vision, roadmap, and market positioning.
• Make high‑stakes business, product, and ecosystem decisions; align engineering, product, marketing, BD, and community under a unified strategy.
• Act as the final decision‑maker on priorities, trade‑offs, and execution.
• Lead VC fundraising rounds (Seed, Strategic, Series A+) and build strong relationships with top‑tier Web3 funds, strategic investors, and partners.
• Craft and own the investment narrative, pitch decks, and data rooms; represent AIVM in investor meetings, conferences, and private briefings; manage ongoing investor communications, updates, and governance.
• Co‑lead product strategy and roadmap with the Product Owner / Head of Product, ensuring strong alignment between technology, market needs, and monetization.
• Guide decisions around validator economics & token design, SDKs, APIs, AI agent infrastructure, developer experience & tooling.
• Ensure the blockchain evolves toward real usage, not just technical elegance.
• Drive real adoption: developers, validators, AI builders, enterprises; lead strategies for developer onboarding & grants, strategic integrations & partnerships, enterprise or protocol‑level adoption.
• Own revenue generation models (fees, infrastructure services, enterprise usage, etc.).
• Act as the public face of AIVM, lead the market narrative around AI x blockchain, and build long‑term trust with the ecosystem and investors.
• Build, scale, and lead a high‑performance global team, hiring and managing senior leaders across Engineering, Product, Marketing, BD/Partnerships, and Operations.
• Establish execution discipline, accountability, and clear ownership; create a culture of speed, trust, and excellence.

Requirements

• Must‑Have Experience
• Proven experience as CEO, Founder, or senior executive in a Layer‑1/Layer‑2 blockchain, core crypto infrastructure, or high‑growth Web3 protocol/platform.
• Demonstrated success raising capital from VCs in Web3.
• Deep understanding of blockchain ecosystems, token economics, validators, developers, and network incentives.
• Strong product intuition and ability to translate vision into execution.
• Ideal Background
• Previously led or played a key role in a well‑known blockchain or crypto project.
• Recognizable track record that VCs respect and trust; experience scaling from early‑stage to growth.
• Strong network across Web3 VCs, founders, protocol teams, and strategic partners.
• Personal Attributes
• Natural leader with high ownership mentality.
• Decisive, structured, and execution‑focused.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and high‑pressure environments.
• Excellent communicator – internally and externally.

Benefits

• Opportunity to lead and shape a next‑generation AI‑native blockchain with a strong technical foundation and backing from ChainGPT.
• High autonomy, real authority, and board‑level impact.
• Competitive compensation package: salary, token/equity incentives aligned with long‑term success.
• Global visibility and the chance to define a category‑defining protocol.
• Remote‑first setup with flexible hours, focused on outcomes, trust, and ownership.
• Fast‑moving environment with direct collaboration across all team members, including senior management, and clear accountability with no micromanagement.
