Chief Executive Officer

Job Description Chief Executive Officer – ImpactSoul The Moment When Capital Alignment Becomes Inevitable The Opportunity For nearly a decade, we've watched the tokenization revolution unfold as a liquidity play—assets moving faster, spreads tightening, platforms extracting value. That's not why we built ImpactSoul. We're at the inflection point where the $5+ trillion real-world asset tokenization market encounters its existential question: What if the capital raised actually funded growth, not founder wealth extraction? What if communities and impact investors owned the upside they created? What if iconic cultural assets—Refik Anadol's digital art, James Turrell's spiritual architecture, regenerative land in Idaho—became economic engines for the movements and communities that made them meaningful? You're not being recruited to manage another fintech scaling machine. You're being recruited to operationalize a conviction: that profit and purpose aren't in tension—they're structurally aligned when the right financial architecture meets the right leadership. Why This Moment. Why Now. Why You. ImpactSoul has completed the 10-year foundation work that most founders never finish. We have: Iconic, revenue-generating assets under LOI with valuations of $5M–$50M+ and yields of 15%+ annuallyTechnology that works (proven MVP, regulatory pathways mapped)Strategic advisors who span Fortune 500 innovation, Top 10 law firms, premier impact capital, and blockchain infrastructureSoft commitments exceeding $1M in pre-seed and grant funding ready to deployA co-founder and Chairman shifting to external stewardship, creating a clean operational mandate for a CEO who can execute without politics What we need now is a leader who can translate conviction into institutional reality. Someone who doesn't need to be convinced that regenerative business models work—someone who's already built one and knows the tension between speed and systemic integrity. Someone who can raise $5M+, navigate securities law and tokenomics simultaneously, recruit world-class operators, and defend a thesis under pressure from both crypto skeptics and defi speculators. This is not a turnaround. This is not a pivot. This is pre-dominance execution. The Role: Four Pillars of Leadership Capital Formation as Strategic Narrative You'll raise $5M+ across institutional, crypto-native, and mission-aligned channels—not by chasing every check, but by crystallizing a story so coherent that the right capital finds you. You'll manage investor pipelines with the precision of a securities offering and the conviction of a movement builder. Within 100 days, you'll have identified capital or revenue opportunities sufficient to cover your own compensation; this isn't permission to be reckless; it's evidence of your conviction in your own thesis. Operational Excellence as Competitive Moat You'll build ImpactSoul's core operating system—decision rights, cadence, reporting infrastructure, and role clarity—in a way that transitions us from founder-driven fluidity to institutional durability without losing our edge. You'll recruit and retain executive leaders across product, technology, operations, legal, and capital. You'll make the decisions that keep us moving fast while protecting platform credibility. Asset Origination as Business Development You'll originate, negotiate, and close tokenization agreements for prominent, illiquid assets with real yields. This isn't spreadsheet work; it's relationship work. Asset owners, NGO partners, institutional investors, and regulatory bodies all need to believe in your vision and your competence. You'll develop yield growth strategies that align community incentives with asset stability and investor returns. You'll represent ImpactSoul across strategic partnerships with ecosystem players, institutions, and government-aligned stakeholders. Platform Integrity as Non-Negotiable You'll oversee end-to-end compliance—SEC regulations (Reg CF, potentially Reg D/S), KYC/AML, token mechanics, reserve pool solvency, yield distribution auditability. You'll guide the technical roadmap through MVP, beta, and scale, managing the tradeoffs between engineering feasibility, regulatory defensibility, and economic viability. You'll work with external counsel and auditors to preempt risk and maintain institutional credibility. This is where innovation meets accountability. Experience We're Looking For CEO-level or equivalent P&L ownership in capital-intensive, high-accountability environments (fintech, capital markets, blockchain, infrastructure)Led $25M+ in capital formation across institutional, mission-aligned, or crypto-native channelsExecutive ownership of end-to-end product development in compliance-sensitive or regulated domainsDeep fluency in blockchain systems, token mechanics, asset tokenization, or decentralized financeTrack record navigating securities law, risk structuring, and multi-jurisdictional complianceLeadership in philanthropy, impact investing, ESG, or regenerative business contextsProven ability to recruit, retain, and manage cross-functional leadership teams in early-stage, high-stakes environments What Makes You Right For This You've probably built something that mattered. You know the difference between a mission statement and a mission culture. You understand why $1B in poorly structured impact capital creates less value than $50M deployed with precision. You've felt the tension between speed and stability and learned to navigate it rather than choose one. You don't need to be convinced that regenerative models work—you've lived inside the tradeoffs of building one. You're energized by complexity. You make decisions through a regenerative lens: sustainability + profitability + long-term trust, not as competing priorities but as a coherent system. You communicate clearly, execute cleanly, and hold high performance standards—starting with yourself. You're comfortable with ambiguity, but obsessed with defined outcomes. You can recruit world-class operators who want to work with you, not just for you. Most importantly: you see tokenization not as a financial engineering problem, but as a coordination problem. How do you align incentives so that communities, asset owners, investors, and impact makers all win? That's the question that should keep you up at night. Your First 12 Months: The Mandate MVP launched and generating market feedback$5M+ in capital secured with operational reporting infrastructure in placeFirst real-world asset tokenized, marketed, and performingReserve pool, bonding curve (if applicable), and yield distribution fully operational and auditedLegal frameworks defensible and institutional-gradeCEO operating independently from Chairman with clear decision rightsExecutive team recruited and performing Compensation: Ownership as Alignment This package is intentionally non-standard because we're not hiring a standard executive. We're looking for someone whose success is structurally tied to ours. Cash base: $250,000–$300,000 (we expect you to source additional revenue or capital within 100 days to cover this and demonstrate your conviction) Equity + Token Allocation: Flexible and weighted toward candidates who lean into long-term ownership. We're actively seeking a CEO willing to convert material portions of cash into performance equity, token allocations, and governance rights. The harder you work, the larger the slice of what you help build. Performance-Linked Upside: Your incentives are co-designed around: Revenue and capital raisedAsset tokenization milestonesEcosystem expansion (partnerships, NGO adoption, institutional adoption)Operational excellence and team retentionPlatform integrity and regulatory defensibility The candidate with the highest conviction in the mission and the strongest willingness to own the outcome will have the most influence over cap table structure, tokenomics design, and governance evolution. The Question for You This role isn't for everyone. It's for someone who has already made the decision that they want to build something that matters—and who's ready to do the hard, precise work of making that thing work at scale, under pressure, with institutional rigor. If you've built regenerative businesses before, if you've navigated securities law and community alignment simultaneously, if you can raise capital and sleep well at night knowing it's being deployed wisely—then this might be the next chapter. What mix of cash, equity, and tokens makes this the right long-term win for you? And more importantly: do you believe that the right financial architecture can align profit and purpose at scale? If yes, let's talk.
