About the role
Nansen builds powerful products for on-chain investors, from portfolio tracking to smart alerts to deep blockchain analytics. With 1M+ registered users and $2B+ in assets staked, we are a high-growth company scaling across markets.
We’re now looking for a Growth Lead in Japan to drive adoption and expand Nansen’s presence in one of the most important crypto markets in the world. If you’re a connector, operator, and builder at heart – and want to play a central role in growing Nansen in Japan – we’d love to hear from you.

- Market Expansion: Shape and execute Nansen’s local growth strategy, bringing global initiatives into the Japanese market while adapting them for local culture.
