- Collaborate with chain founders and ecosystem funds to co-design value propositions, integrating OSL's regulated liquidity, enterprise stablecoin rails, and custody infrastructure directly into chain ecosystems.
- Drive penetration into Chinese-speaking Web3 founder circles, developer DAOs, and crypto funds across APAC, serving as the strategic bridge for teams expanding across Asia and the Middle East.
- Own the full sales cycle from initial technical and architectural dialogue to commercial structuring, legal negotiation, and closing high-impact multi-party agreements.
- Stay ahead of on-chain narratives, gas and execution innovations, bridging standards, and liquidity shifts to inform OSL's product roadmap and expansion strategy.
- Represent OSL at premier global Web3 conferences, hacker houses, side events, and builder summits across Singapore, Dubai, Hong Kong, and beyond.
What you bring
- 4-8+ years of business development, strategic partnerships, or ecosystem growth experience within Web3 and crypto.
- Native understanding of how different architectures operate, including Solana SVM, EVM ecosystems, Hyperliquid L1/L4-style app-chains, bridges, and cross-chain messaging protocols. You speak the language of builders, CTOs, and foundation leads.
- An established, active network of chain foundations, core developers, DeFi founders, and Web3 VC funds.
- Professional fluency in Mandarin Chinese and English (both spoken and written), with demonstrated capability to close deals within the Greater China Web3 founder ecosystem.
- A proven track record of hitting aggressive partnership targets, structuring complex joint ventures, and closing high-value commercial contracts.
- Based in Singapore, Malaysia, or Dubai, with flexibility for regional travel.
What we offer
- Competitive base salary plus a performance-driven incentive structure and token allocation bonus.
