Job Overview

We are seeking a contract business development lead strategically located and covering Los Angeles, CA. You will be responsible for championing the Tezos blockchain and creating an environment that promotes and encourages its use and adoption. To succeed in this role it will be key to build relationships across professional services providers (consultants, lawyers, development houses, global brands and integrators), the funding ecosystem (VCs, family offices, angel investors), the entrepreneurial ecosystem (incubators, accelerators, start-ups) and corporate brands.

This role is focused on strategic, long term business development. You will work on creating and delivering strategic projects involving your ecosystem participants. These will range from direct sponsorships/partnerships to providing introductions and playing more of a consultative role between participants, to encourage them to build on the Tezos platform. Ultimately, you will own the development and execution of our BD strategy for the West Coast region.

In this role you will be working directly with global teams based in Europe, UK and other areas, to further and advance business development discussions and help secure opportunities.
