Business Development Manager (Sponsorship)

As a Business Development Manager (Sponsorship) at Crypto Banter, you will own the full sponsorship and partnerships pipeline for Boost by Banter, our commercial engine. You will source crypto projects and advertisers with live marketing budgets, pitch them into Banter's media channels, manage KOL deal flows concurrently, and ensure every campaign delivers results. You join a small, growing team at a media brand that millions of crypto-native people already follow and trust.

What you'll do

• Own the full sales pipeline: source, qualify, pitch, negotiate, and close new crypto project sponsors, KOLs, and affiliates from first contact through to signed deal, with no handoffs
• Build and work a live prospect list by driving outreach proactively via Telegram BD communities, Crypto Twitter, conference floors, and your personal network rather than waiting for marketing-generated leads
• Manage concurrent KOL deal flows, executing multiple KOL partnerships simultaneously while maintaining clear timelines, deliverables, and communication standards across all active campaigns
• Ensure campaign execution is fulfilled to brief, on time, and in line with advertiser objectives by coordinating with Banter's content and operations teams
• Deliver detailed post-campaign reports to sponsors that demonstrate ROI, build trust, and create grounds for renewal, turning closed deals into long-term commercial relationships
• Work toward a consistent $150k+ monthly revenue target, with clear milestones in the first 90 days: a live pipeline, first closed deals, and demonstrable early revenue momentum

What you bring

• Native crypto market knowledge: you understand the difference between a vanity integration and a high-converting campaign, know how KOL deal structures work in practice, and can speak credibly to a crypto project's CMO about what moves their audience
• Hunter sales mentality: you self-source leads through conferences, Telegram groups, and your warm network rather than relying on inbound, and commission upside and full ownership of your pipeline motivate you
• KOL and affiliate management experience: you have managed multiple KOL relationships concurrently, handling deal negotiation, briefing, fulfilment tracking, and performance review without needing a separate account management layer
• 3+ years in BD, partnerships, or sales roles within crypto, with a stable tenure history showing you build and deliver before moving on, and an active warm book of crypto project contacts with marketing budgets in the $50k-$500k range
• Geographic and community presence: you are based in a genuine Web3 hub such as Singapore, Dubai, London, New York, Seoul, Hong Kong, or comparable, with real access to regional conference circuits and the Telegram and Crypto Twitter communities where deals are actually sourced
• Operational self-sufficiency: you integrate into existing content and admin workflows, manage your own CRM hygiene, and deliver performance reporting to sponsors without needing a support team
