Sr. Manager Business Development, RippleX

THE WORK:

At Ripple, we’re building a world where value moves like information does today. It’s big, it’s bold, and we’re already doing it. Through our crypto solutions for financial institutions, businesses, and developers, we are improving the global financial system and creating greater economic fairness and opportunity for more people, in more places around the world. And we get to do the best work of our career and grow our skills surrounded by colleagues who have our backs.

Within Ripple, RippleX’s mission is to inspire and enable developers and institutions to collectively build the Internet of Value, through contributions to open-source protocol development (e.g. the XRP Ledger) and ecosystem partnerships.

As part of this mission, RippleX is increasingly investing in Institutional DeF. Institutional DeFi is poised for massive adoption by the financial services industry and Ripple is actively partnering with enterprises and institutions to develop solutions and use cases, leveraging the XRPL Ledger and its native digital asset, XRP.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

We are looking for a dynamic and growth-oriented Senior Manager of Business Development to drive adoption of DeFi and institutional financial use-cases on the XRP Ledger.

In this role, the candidate will work closely with our product, engineering, marketing, and trading teams to identify and pursue new partnerships and business development opportunities.

The ideal candidate will be an entrepreneurial and experienced growth professional with business development, sales or other relevant traditional finance experience, and they will have the ability to think through how markets need to adapt to support a paradigm-shifting technology.

Working as part of a global team, candidates will need to be self-starters with the ability to work independently with limited daily direction. A strong interest and experience of digital assets / crypto markets is highly desired.

You will be passionate about crypto and exploring how companies, developers, and consumers will adapt to the inevitable shift from centralization to decentralization. Come join us if you see it too and know how to get it done!
