Gauntlet-curated vaults power earn products for some of the largest fintechs, exchanges, and wallets in crypto. This role owns growing that book. You will originate and close high-value Earn partnerships that route deposits into Gauntlet's vault products (Aera and Gauntlet-curated Morpho and Kamino vaults), working with Tier-1 and Tier-2 fintechs, exchanges, wallets, and DeFi protocols. You'll ramp on a mix of existing pipeline and self-sourced opportunities, with a mandate to originate greenfield partnerships where Gauntlet can be first to market. This is a senior individual contributor role with a path to team lead as the Growth team scales.
About Gauntlet
Gauntlet builds the financial systems of the future. While much of on-chain finance is focused on point solutions, we operate across the entire stack to offer best-in-class vault products. Today, we serve over $1.5B in client TVL across some of the largest fintechs/neobanks, protocols, exchanges, and capital allocators in crypto, and, increasingly, traditional asset management. Our team brings together traditional finance and crypto-native expertise to deliver durable, sophisticated products for institutional clients moving on-chain.
What you'll do;
- Own the full deal cycle for high-value Earn opportunities: discovery, qualification, structuring, negotiation, close, and post-close activation.
- Run rigorous discovery and qualification before anything gets proposed. Structure and negotiate terms that command favorable economics, and walk away from deals that don't.
- Originate greenfield partnerships in segments and markets where Gauntlet can be the first mover.
- Own outcomes past the signature. Drive activation so signed partners become live programs.
- Work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Finance to position and validate Gauntlet within target verticals.
- Keep the pipeline honest: stage hygiene, forecasting, and accurate CRM.
- Represent Gauntlet at industry conferences and events, traveling as needed.
What success looks like;
First 30 days. Ramp on Gauntlet's vault products and existing Earn partnerships. Meet internal stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Finance. Take over an initial book of existing opportunities and leads, and form a clear view of what advances, what needs re-qualification, and what gets cut.
First 3-6 months. Running your own pipeline end-to-end. First partnerships are structured and in negotiation, or closed. Early greenfield opportunities are being sourced and in discovery.
In 1 year. Operating a full book at quota with multiple signed and funded partnerships. Recognized internally and externally as Gauntlet's voice with fintech and exchange partners. Contributing repeatable playbooks that compress future deal cycles.
What you bring;
- 5+ years of work experience, including 3+ years in partnerships, BD, or sales at a fintech company or financial institution, with demonstrated end-to-end ownership of complex, multi-stakeholder deals.
- A track record of structuring and negotiating partnership economics, not just sourcing introductions.
- Comfort self-sourcing via outbound and converting first-mover opportunities.
- Working knowledge of crypto/DeFi, with the ability to explain onchain yield to non-crypto-native audiences.
- Ability to work autonomously and nimbly.
- Willingness to travel to conferences and industry events as needed.
Bonus points
- A strong network of fintechs, exchanges, wallets, or institutions that are likely to integrate onchain yield.
- An active DeFi user who can describe what they use and why.
- Languages relevant to emerging fintech markets (Spanish, Portuguese, or similar).
Benefits & Perks;
- Remote first - work from anywhere in the US & CAN!
- Regular in-person company retreats and cross-country "office visit" perk
- 100% paid medical, dental, and vision premiums for employees
- $1,000 WFH stipend
- Monthly reimbursement for home internet, phone, and cellular data
- Unlimited vacation
- 100% paid parental leave of 12 weeks
- Fertility benefits
- Opportunity for incentive compensation

How do I get a job at DeFi?
Getting a job in the DeFi (decentralized finance) industry can be a competitive process, but there are a few steps you can take to increase your chances of finding a job in this field:
- Build up your skills and knowledge: To work in DeFi, you'll likely need to have a strong understanding of blockchain technology, as well as other related technologies such as smart contracts and cryptocurrency. Consider taking online courses or earning a degree in a relevant field to build up your skills and knowledge.
- Network with industry professionals: Attend meetups and conferences related to DeFi and make connections with professionals in the industry. Networking can be a valuable way to learn about job openings and get your foot in the door at a DeFi company.
- Create a strong online presence: Many DeFi companies will look at your online presence (such as your LinkedIn profile and personal website) when considering you for a job. Make sure to showcase your skills and accomplishments online and keep your profile up to date.
- Apply for relevant job openings: Keep an eye out for job openings at DeFi companies and apply for positions that align with your skills and experience. Apply for DeFi Jobs without Experience. Tailor your resume and cover letter to the specific job you're applying for and highlight any relevant experience or skills you have.
- Consider internships or volunteer work: DeFi Internships or volunteer work can be a great way to get your foot in the door and gain valuable experience in the DeFi industry. Many companies also offer internships to students, so consider applying for an internship if you're still in school.
- Be persistent: keep trying if you don't get a job right away. It can take time to find the right opportunity, but with the right skills and determination, you can land a job in the DeFi industry.
