📋 Description

• New protocol, nearing launch, straddling the worlds of web3 (Ethereum, then beyond) and digital payments. This role demands deep knowledge and enthusiasm about both. You’ll work closely with product, marketing, and company leadership to recruit and support key partners, inform strategy and accelerate our roadmap.

We expect better from our money, and we want you to as well. That’s what drives us every day. • We focus our work on contributing to the Eco Protocol and building Bend. The Eco Protocol is for stablecoins and the apps that use them — designed from the ground up for the most capital efficient stablecoin transaction execution across Ethereum, with the simplest possible user experience. Bend is the product we build to demonstrate what the protocol makes possible — to show that we can build a seamless payment experience that anyone can use, with crypto today. • With both the Eco Protocol and Bend, we continue to push the boundary of what crypto enables and just how powerful the user experience can be: a simple send, whether you’re paying someone, providing liquidity, trying to new app, or inviting a friend onchain for the first time. We’re a team of 25 hell-bent on doing our very best work (individually and together), solving hard problems, staying optimistic, and believing money should be better. • If these things excite you, now would be the time to join. Eco is coming. • As Head of Partnerships & BD at Eco, you will: Grow Eco’s product and partner ecosystem (The Ecosystem...) through protocol launch and beyond, be a face of the Eco protocol and our Bend product, and an expert on both of them, to partners and customers throughout the web3 space, develop the foundational components of Eco’s business development capability, including the development of team processes, the requisite tech stack, the goals for Eco and Bend, and more, build relationships with relevant prospects and stakeholders to ensure that the business development pipeline is generating conversions for the Eco protocol and Bend at a high pace, develop a strong pipeline of partnerships for the Eco protocol and Bend, driving growth with user activity, volume, and product development, and ensure rapid expansion into new markets that align with product and business goals and allow for a healthy, forward-looking growth of Eco products.
