Head of Business Development

Unique blockchain assets ("NFTs") have grown in popularity rapidly over the past few months. These unique assets allow people to own anything from in-game items to digital art to music and financial instruments.

However, they are highly illiquid: transactions take minutes or hours to confirm, and Ethereum can process fewer than 5 NFT per second for the whole world combined. To solve this problem for ourselves and others, we have built Immutable X, the leading software infrastructure to take Ethereum from 5 NFTs per second to thousands. We are in a key position to win the market and turn Immutable X into the default protocol facilitating the trading and creation of digital assets globally.

Immutable X's goal is to help developers and businesses scale their asset-creation by using our protocol for creating and trading these unique assets ("NFTs").

You'll get to talk to customers early on and will be the key person closing these relationships. You must be confident in delivering results.

You will be able to contribute substantially to the overall product vision. You will direct both customer feedback to improve the product and hires relating to technical integration and customer success.

You will be leading the charge to scale these assets via public infrastructure (Immutable X, built on Ethereum) versus the closed or insecure infrastructure offered elsewhere.

This role has an incredibly high ceiling for growth. Reporting to the co-founder, you will have budget accountability over the function and shape it as you see fit to achieve your goals. At the same time, you will be building a team to scale your efforts and help us meet unprecedented global demand.

This role is key to Immutable's success. By extension, vital to ensuring the future of digital asset trading is on public, decentralised infrastructure rather than a centralised or insecure alternative. Help us drive the future in one of the world's most exciting startups!

• Growth mindset. You test, you iterate, and you try something new. You love receiving feedback and know it's the fastest way to the right outcome.
