Business Development Leader

As a Business Development Leader, you will play a pivotal role in expanding our presence and forging strategic partnerships that drive growth across the DeFi ecosystem.

Our ideal candidate combines a solid business development background with the ambition to step into a leadership role. This person will define and execute our BD strategy, manage and mentor a growing team, and personally own some of our highest-value relationships.

This is a high-profile role requiring a hands-on approach, strategic thinking, and the ability to translate technical concepts into compelling value propositions for diverse partners - from fintech giants to DeFi protocols.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead and manage our business development team, setting strategy, priorities, and scalable processes for growth
  • Identify and pursue partnership opportunities with consumer-facing financial applications, institutional players, and other DeFi protocols and ecosystem partners
  • Own and nurture key high-value relationships, maintaining active engagement and driving successful deal execution
  • Pitch our products - CoW Protocol, CoW Swap, MEV Blocker, and CoW AMM - to partners, tailoring narratives for technical and non-technical audiences
  • Navigate complex enterprise sales processes, including managing RFPs, multi-stakeholder negotiations, and legal reviews
  • Develop sales enablement materials such as polished sales decks, target lists, and influence maps to support BD efforts
  • Track, analyze, and report on BD initiatives, both qualitatively and quantitatively
  • Bring insights from partners and market trends back to influence our product roadmaps
  • Represent us at conferences, talks, and industry events to elevate our presence and forge connections
  • Mentor and coach team members, fostering skill development and cross-functional collaboration
Required Skills and Qualifications:
  • Significant experience in business development, sales, or partnerships, ideally in larger fintech companies, DeFi, or Web3 ecosystems
  • Proven success selling solutions into large fintechs or institutional organizations, with experience managing complex sales cycles and RFP processes
  • Skilled at creating compelling narratives and translating technical concepts into business value for diverse audiences
  • Hands-on approach, willing to lead but also execute deals yourself
  • Strategic thinker who can prioritize opportunities for the highest impact
  • Collaborative mindset with a track record of mentoring, coaching, or managing teams
  • Comfortable navigating decentralized, remote environments with minimal oversight
  • A quick learner with genuine curiosity for DeFi and blockchain technology
  • Excellent communicator who builds trust quickly, adapts messaging to different stakeholders, and resolves conflicts diplomatically
  • Entrepreneurial spirit and ability to thrive in a fast-paced, results-driven environment
