Institutional Business Development Intern

Deeply Curious: You follow the "Institutional Crypto" narrative closely.

You’re interested in how institutions might leverage blockchain to solve settlement and liquidity challenges.

Strategic Thinker: You enjoy breaking down a complex problem into a structured "Playbook." You can look at a bank’s manual process and envision a more efficient, automated version using tokenization.

Proactive & Scrappy: You don't wait for instructions.

If you don't know how a clearinghouse works, for example, you’ll spend the night researching it until you can explain it to the team.

In this role, you will report directly to LayerZero’s Banking and Capital Markets Lead, supporting high-priority industry initiatives and customer projects at the absolute forefront of digital assets.

This role is for someone who wants to be in the room as the world’s largest financial institutions move from "pilot" to "production." You will assist in building the strategic frameworks that help banks, asset managers, and market infrastructures transition to a blockchain-native future.

Institutional Playbook Development: Help create the "On-Chain Playbook" for global institutions.

You will help define the legal, technical, and operational steps required for a firm to launch assets on Zero or utilize LayerZero for cross-chain settlement.

Ecosystem Activation: Act in an advisory capacity for institutions building cross-chain and on Zero.

You will assist in identifying specific use cases (e.g., intraday repo, tokenized collateral, 24/7 settlement) and help them realize their business objectives.
