Role Description We are looking for a Senior DeFi Business Development lead to own Re7's partnership pipeline across our full DeFi product suite — vault deployments, ecosystem chain partnerships, and distribution of Re7's tokenised funds. This is a senior, high-ownership role. You will own the full sales cycle from outreach to close — identifying chains and protocols that can benefit from Re7's liquidity, risk management, and vault infrastructure, and converting them into live partnerships — covering tier-1 allocators on one end and crypto-native distribution partners on the other. Your track record speaks for itself: you are crypto-native, have existing relationships across DeFi, and have structured and closed deals through your own network. You bring the hunger, discipline, and tenacity to drive Re7's growth. Responsibilities - Build and manage a strong pipeline of institutional investors and family offices, with a focus on tier-1 allocators. - Source and develop relationships with L1 foundations, DeFi/crypto/fintech distribution partners, custodians, exchanges, and crypto wallets. - Define, lead, and execute Re7's end-to-end business development strategy across both TradFi and crypto-native channels. - Provide leadership and mentorship to the broader sales and BD team. - Represent Re7 at industry events through networking, speaking, and relationship building. - Drive brand awareness and reputation via promotional events, content, and thought leadership. - Ensure all client-facing materials showcase Re7 to the highest standard. - Maintain a feedback loop between market intelligence and the product team to ensure Re7’s offering reflects the latest market demand. Qualifications - 5+ years of crypto or financial services sales experience, with meaningful seniority and a leadership track record. - Proven ability to raise capital and close deals with institutional investors, family offices, or equivalent allocators — with results attributable to your own relationships and personal brand. - Experience working with or selling into crypto-native clients (exchanges, custodians, L1 foundations, fintech) is essential. - Excellent communicator with the ability to influence and sustain a network of long-term, high-value relationships. - Self-starter who can operate autonomously, move fast, and thrive in a high-octane environment. - Strong work ethic, results-focused, with full ownership and accountability for outcomes. How to Apply Apply with your CV, a response to the challenge below, and list two people with a direct connection to our CEO that can provide a reference. The Challenge Review the vaults currently run by Re7 and select the one you believe is the strongest. Prepare a pitch deck focused on that product, tailored to a distribution partner you consider the best fit. Clearly explain your choice of both the vault and the partner, including why this specific product–distribution pairing makes commercial sense. Benefits - Fully Remote with the autonomy to build and grow the business. - Dynamic, collaborative team environment. - Significant opportunity for professional growth in a rapidly evolving industry. - Competitive compensation package.
