After retiring last year, Genia will also finish up as skills coach with the Kintetsu Liners at the end of the Japanese season.
The 38-year-old is initially returning home to Brisbane and, while he hopes to continue forging a coaching career, says he'd relish helping out the NRL's new start-up venture ahead of their entry in 2028.
A dual citizen, the 110-Test great's father Kilroy served as a PNG cabinet minister, while Genia remains an ambassador for the Kokoda Track Foundation.
His 11-year-old daughter is also schooled in PNG, where Genia retains deep connections and hopes to spend much of his post-playing life.
 "If the Chiefs needed me for anything, for sure I'd love to get involved," Genia told AAP from Japan.
"I'd love to be in like a mentoring space or a talent-scout or talent-ID role, or just be a part of what they're trying to build.
"I think the challenging thing for them will be establishing pathways and infrastructure, a professional competition. They'll need as many people as they can.
"So if there was an opportunity, that'd be great because there's a hell of a lot that I could offer as a player in professional environments, high-performance environments and things of that nature.
"And it'd be an opportunity for me to get back home."
Genia pointed to the plight of Moana Pasifika, who are being cut from Super Rugby Pacific after just five seasons in the competition, as a challenge the Chiefs might also encounter.
"It is a tragedy. I do feel for them," he said.
"It's obviously similar to the experience a lot of guys at the Melbourne Rebels had, when they were cut, and what it does to the talent pathway and the Pacific opportunities, not to have a pathway.
"So it's quite disheartening."
Genia is on the lookout for a new gig after helping his old Wallabies and Queensland Reds teammate Quade Cooper pilot Kintetsu to the top of Japan's division two.
"I've really enjoyed the opportunity to get into coaching. I've learned," he said.
"Just learning about the game from a different perspective. When we played, I could just do things without having to know a lot about the particular details or understand the roles of different people.
"So the best part about it, the guys here just like how the game's being played and looking at ways you can innovate.
"I want to stay in coaching if I can. I'd love to stay in it and learn as much as I can to build on a lot of the experience that I've had and the knowledge that I already have, to see if I can help grow the game and be a part of an organisation."
