Business Development

Monad Labs is a contributor to the Monad blockchain, an ultra-high-performance EVM-compatible layer-1 blockchain designed to bring world adoption to decentralized apps. We help the EVM scale by enabling parallel execution and other significant innovations in distributed consensus and smart contract execution. Monad offers developers the best of both worlds: unparalleled performance (10,000 transactions per second) and portability (full compatibility for Ethereum smart contracts).

We are founded by Jump Trading alums, and backed by notable leaders in the crypto space, including Dragonfly, Cobie, and Hasu.

The Role

Our Business Development team contributes to the growth of the Monad ecosystem by identifying existing and new developer teams and supporting their deployment onto Monad’s testnet and mainnet.

We are looking for someone with significant experience dealmaking with dapp builders. You will wear many hats as you build and execute on a process for onboarding and supporting partner projects.

This is a full-time position that is fully remote in the US or Canada, with the option of being located in NYC (where the majority of our team currently is).

Requirements

Required experience/skills:

• You’re crypto-native; you have excellent knowledge of major DeFi projects and categories
• You have at least 2 years of experience doing BD/Partnerships work (dealmaking with dapp builders) at a crypto company
• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills
• You have excellent sales and negotiation skills

Required personal attributes:

• Resourcefulness and independence
• Ambition; desire to make a massive impact
• Organizational skills
• Strategic thinking
• Results-driven mentality; a doer
• High EQ
• Low ego
• Desire to identify win/win opportunities and help partners succeed
• Ability to travel globally for conferences and hackathons
• Enthusiasm for Monad’s mission of helping decentralization scale

Bonuses:

• Experience in early-stage startups
• Experience in sales in traditional tech
• Existing relationships in the DeFi or Web3 Gaming space

What you’ll be doing

• You’ll source, qualify, pitch, and close projects on the prospect of launching on Monad’s testnet and mainnet in 2023
• You’ll develop a process for onboarding projects as launch partners
• You’ll maintain relationships with partners, finding ways to help them succeed in their goals
• You’ll create tools and KPIs to measure success within the team
• You’ll travel to conferences to speak with partners and speak about Monad

What’s unique about the role

• You’ll be a foundational part of the BD effort, helping to shape the culture and direction.
• Monad’s technology is unique. We go where very few teams go (rewriting the VM to enable parallelization and other optimizations; extreme emphasis on performance optimization). Our technology will be a meaningful step forward for the crypto ecosystem by enabling much wider adoption of more sophisticated and useful apps.

Why work with us

• You’ll meaningfully advance the growth of decentralization by helping Monad’s technology reach many more developers
• You’ll be part of a small, exceptionally talented team.
• You’ll wear many hats and take on significant responsibilities
• You’ll receive a competitive salary and equity package
• You’ll shape the culture as an early employee and make impactful contributions from day one
• Your work will be deeply impactful, enabling much cheaper and more efficient decentralized computation and ultimately paving the way for new dapps that improve many people’s lives.

We think you’ll enjoy working with us, and that you’ll find the work to be extremely impactful and challenging.

Salary and benefits

Minimum full-time salary of $120,000 - $180,000. (**This is not a guarantee of compensation or salary; a final offer amount may vary based on factors including but not limited to experience and geographic location.)

Monad Labs’ benefits include unlimited and encouraged paid time off; 100% medical, dental, and vision coverage; 401(k) participation; home office equipment stipend; monthly wellness/fitness stipend; and 11 company-observed holidays.

The majority of our team is in NYC and works together a few days a week. We are open to remote candidates in the US and Canada, with a slight preference for candidates based in NYC.
