Job description

Job Title: Head of Tokenization and Digital Asset Strategy

Company: Sankhara (Private Equity Fund)

Location: San Mateo, CA OR New York, NY

Position Type: Full‑Time

About Sankhara

Sankhara is a groundbreaking private equity fund dedicated to collecting, protecting and preserving the human experience through extraordinary physical assets. Rare books, maps, religious artifacts, classic cars, cultural landmarks, iconic sports memorabilia, and more - each with a unique story that shapes history. With a 100‑year vision, our mission is to democratize ownership of history, making it accessible to the masses and protected by us, the philosopher‑builders fostering a shared world.

Our next frontier is digital and we are hiring someone to help design and launch a community and security token. If you believe beauty, scarcity, and narrative will define the next era of value creation - and if you want to architect the digital infrastructure that makes it real - this is your role.

Position Overview

We are hiring a best‑in‑class builder‑architect to lead Sankhara’s end‑to‑end tokenization and digital asset strategy. This is not an advisory role. This is not theoretical. This is a chance to design, build, and launch one of the most ambitious real‑world asset tokenization platforms in existence - spanning both security tokens and a global community token.

You will own the lifecycle, from framework architecture to the token launch. Your work will define a new standard for how history, capital markets, and modern blockchain infrastructure converge. We are looking for the rare leader who can speak fluently with engineers, regulators, investors, and creators - and build something extraordinary for all of them.

Key Responsibilities

Strategy & Architecture

• Design and execute our multi‑layer tokenization roadmap.
• Architect compliant yet innovative token structures spanning both utility and security frameworks.
• Build a modular system capable of scaling globally and enduring long term.
• Translate Sankhara’s mission into digital participation that actually matters.

Compliance, Trust & Risk

• Partner closely with legal counsel across jurisdictions.
• Implement rigorous KYC/AML frameworks and governance controls.
• Design risk frameworks, transparency systems, and stewardship reporting.
• Build trust mechanisms that earn credibility with serious investors and serious regulators.

Execution & Delivery

• Lead smart contract strategy, system design, audits, and security readiness.
• Oversee issuance, registry, treasury management involvement, custody architecture.
• Partner with engineering (internal and external) to actually ship product.
• Own timelines, budgets, accountability.

Qualifications

• 3+ years leadership in tokenization, blockchain platforms or digital asset markets.
• Proven experience architecting and launching tokenized securities and/or large‑scale RWA initiatives.
• Demonstrated expertise designing token models and blockchain infrastructure.
• Deep fluency bridging legal, engineering, and investor conversations.
• Ambition and courage to push boundaries without crossing them.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits.
• Opportunity to work with a dynamic, innovative and experienced team.
• A collaborative and inclusive work environment.
