The company provides an innovative tokenised basket factory that enables creation of basket tokens using the ERC-7621 standard (decentralised blockchain platform implementing the newly developed ERC-7621 token standard for tokenised asset management). This unique ecosystem maintains complete transparency, allowing other investors to confidently contribute to the basket.

They are adding a whole new subsector to decentralised finance by revolutionising how we perceive and engage with basket management as both managers and investors.

They are looking for a highly motivated Business Development Lead to own and execute the company’s growth strategy.

You will be responsible for sourcing, negotiating, and closing high-impact partnerships with funds, DAOs, exchanges, infrastructure providers, institutional asset managers and others. This is a senior, revenue-generating role where you will work closely with the founding team to shape go-to-market strategy, expand our ecosystem, and position the company at the forefront of institutional DeFi adoption.

  • Collaborate with the product and marketing teams to align partner needs with protocol development and positioning.
  • Establish the company as the reference point for ERC-7621 adoption across the DeFi and institutional landscape.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience in business development or institutional sales in Web3, fintech, or capital markets.
  • Proven track record of closing strategic, multi-stakeholder partnerships.
  • Established relationships across DAOs, protocols, exchanges, and asset managers.
  • Strong understanding of DeFi infrastructure, tokenisation, and institutional adoption dynamics.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
  • Self-starter mindset with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
  • Remote - UK preferred, but also open to top talent in Europe.

Competitive base salary with performance-based bonuses.
