Head of Ecosystem & Partnerships

Remote · Cayman head 2 months ago full-time closed

What you'll own

Commercial agreements & partner stack (primary)

  • Own and manage the full partner stack behind [ether.fi](http://ether.fi) Cash: Card network relationships and memberships, payment and ramp providers across fiat and stablecoin corridors.
  • Negotiate new agreements end to end: pricing, minimums, exclusivity, term, and commercial structure.
  • Evaluate build-vs-partner tradeoffs (e.g. direct network membership vs. sponsor models) and own the business case.
  • Manage counterparty relationships with trading, lending, and treasury partners.

Ecosystem & chain partnerships

  • Source large-scale capital and distribution opportunities across the product suite; structuring and ongoing ownership sits with the relevant product teams.
  • Negotiate incentive deals and rev-share agreements.
  • Drive native deployments of [ether.fi](http://ether.fi) assets on new chains where they unlock distribution.
  • Structure launch partnerships for new products.

Expansion

  • Identify and negotiate partners for new markets and corridors (local ramps, regional payment networks, licensing partners) alongside the compliance and legal teams.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years in partnerships, BD, or commercial roles spanning fintech/payments and crypto.
  • Track record closing complex multi-party commercial agreements: pricing schedules, volume minimums, exclusivity, rev shares.
  • Strong DeFi fluency: LSTs, vaults, lending markets, incentive design, enough to originate credible vault deals and speak to protocol teams.
  • Commercial structuring ability, comfortable modeling deal economics and defending them.
  • Operates independently with full ownership: builds and defends own pipeline, terms, and forecasts without needing gaps corrected from above.
  • Comfortable inheriting in-flight negotiations and running them without a ramp-up period.

Nice to have

  • Experience with card network membership processes or issuer programs.
  • LatAm or emerging-market payments experience (local ramps, pix and similar local networks).
  • Existing relationships with L2 foundations, exchanges, and vault curators.

How success is measured

  • Commercial agreements signed and renewed on favorable terms (economics vs. benchmark, time to close).
  • Partner stack health: coverage, redundancy, and cost of the payments/card stack.
  • Chain and ecosystem deals signed and value delivered (incentives, rev share, distribution).
