At Matter Labs, we believe freedom drives progress and prosperity. We don’t see ourselves as a company, but as a team aligned around a single mission: to advance personal freedom for all (see ZK Credo).
To achieve this goal, we’re building zkSync — a credibly neutral, fully open source technology stack and network on top of Ethereum, which is owned and governed by its community. We use advanced cryptography called zero-knowledge proofs to scale Ethereum infinitely without compromising on security or decentralization. With a world-class team, a community of over 1M supporters across Twitter + Discord, and hundreds of millions $ in funding, we have abundant resources to accomplish the mission.
We are looking for a Business Development (BD) Manager to spearhead our key campaigns and initiatives. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in project managing a range of critical undertakings, from client engagements to collaborations with external developer teams and strategic partners. With a sharp focus on ensuring strong execution of our campaigns and initiatives, such as ZK Stack, this role will be at the heart of our growth and expansion strategies. Initially the majority of time will be spent working on launching ZK Stack and managing our ever growing pipeline of ZK Stack partners. This role is perfectly suited for someone with a management or strategy consulting background working in the digital assets and blockchain domain.
What You'll Be Doing
- Work directly with the Head of Business Development on launching and managing new BD initiatives and campaigns, including creating pitch decks
- Orchestrate and manage various BD initiatives across our different verticals, ZK Stack partnerships, client engagements
- Strategic Partnerships: Track and manage our key partnerships and the related customer pipeline to ensure that both partners are maximizing the ROI from the relationship
- Client Engagements: Cultivate and nurture relationships with key clients, ensuring consistent communication and understanding of their needs and objectives.
- Reporting and Metrics: Provide regular reports on the progress of BD initiatives, including key performance indicators, project milestones, and financial results
- Developer Team Liaison: Work closely with different developer teams, acting as the primary point of contact and ensuring projects align with our business goals and standards
- Market Analysis: Stay abreast of industry trends, competitor activities, and market dynamics to inform and refine our strategic approach
What We Look For in You
- Exceptional ability to manage and track multiple projects and initiatives
- 5-7 years of experience in management consulting, or similar, in the digital assets and blockchain domain
- Strong domain knowledge and keen interest in public blockchains, their use cases, product roadmaps, and latest industry trends
- Excellent communication skills and ability to present to business executives and stakeholders
