Metaverse Jobs

The HBAR Foundation is looking for a Business Development Associate for our Metaverse Fund. The Business Development team helps to grow awareness and access to the HBAR economy by connecting builders with the resources they need to be successful. We’re an international team that understands Hedera's technology and analyzes where growth is likely to accelerate the coming years.

The Metaverse Fund focuses on growing the number of users and projects active on the Hedera through partners delivering B2C and B2B2C applications and platforms. Broad categories of ‘consumer engagement’ cover Gaming, Brand Activation, Fan Engagement, and Enterprise Loyalty & CRM solutions. On the technical side, the Metaverse Fund accelerates the deployment of evolution of infrastructure supporting NFT assets such as Developer Tooling, Platforms, Markets, Wallets and Explorers.

As a Business Development Associate, you'll be a strategic member of our Metaverse Fund team, supporting the growth and development of Hedera’s ecosystem. You'll work closely with the Fund Lead and Business Development team to identify and organize external business development opportunities, while supporting relationships within existing projects and grantees with the Hedera Ecosystem.

If you’re highly relational and a natural organizer with a keen eye for detail who's excited by and active in the growing NFT space, this is an opportunity to join a DLT ecosystem at the forefront of Web3 consumer engagement.
