Business Development & Growth Marketing Manager
Business Development & Growth Marketing Manager — 6 years in consumer fintech / DeFi.
I've spent six years growing fintech products for Singapore- and Hong Kong-based companies (Magpie XYZ, Wombat Exchange, Platypus Finance) whose platforms reached $1B+ in TVL. What I do:
- Partnerships: identified, negotiated and closed agreements with OKX, Bitget, KuCoin, Gate.io, HTX and MEXC — co-marketing, listings, joint campaigns.
- Creator programs: built and managed a 50+ KOL network on a ~$80–100K monthly budget, tracked to cost per acquired user.
- Community & social: grew X accounts to 120K / 79K / 60K / 27K followers and Telegram communities to 10K+ members from zero; 150+ live AMAs hosted.
- Tooling: built internal automation and LLM-based tools (GPT-4, Claude API) for onboarding, analytics and reporting; shipped three independent products with AI-assisted development.
Industrial Engineer (Boğaziçi University). Based in Turkey (UTC+3), fully remote, available immediately. Looking for: Business Development, Partnerships, Growth / Influencer Marketing roles at exchanges, DeFi protocols or Web3 infrastructure companies.
