What you'll do;

• Own the full deal cycle for high-value Earn opportunities: discovery, qualification, structuring, negotiation, close, and post-close activation.

• Run rigorous discovery and qualification before anything gets proposed. Structure and negotiate terms that command favorable economics, and walk away from deals that don't.

• Originate greenfield partnerships in segments and markets where Gauntlet can be the first mover.

• Own outcomes past the signature. Drive activation so signed partners become live programs.

• Work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Finance to position and validate Gauntlet within target verticals.

• Keep the pipeline honest: stage hygiene, forecasting, and accurate CRM.

• Represent Gauntlet at industry conferences and events, traveling as needed.

What success looks like;

First 30 days. Ramp on Gauntlet's vault products and existing Earn partnerships. Meet internal stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Finance. Take over an initial book of existing opportunities and leads, and form a clear view of what advances, what needs re-qualification, and what gets cut.

First 3-6 months. Running your own pipeline end-to-end. First partnerships are structured and in negotiation, or closed. Early greenfield opportunities are being sourced and in discovery.

In 1 year. Operating a full book at quota with multiple signed and funded partnerships. Recognized internally and externally as Gauntlet's voice with fintech and exchange partners. Contributing repeatable playbooks that compress future deal cycles.

• 5+ years of work experience, including 3+ years in partnerships, BD, or sales at a fintech company or financial institution, with demonstrated end-to-end ownership of complex, multi-stakeholder deals.

• A track record of structuring and negotiating partnership economics, not just sourcing introductions.

• Comfort self-sourcing via outbound and converting first-mover opportunities.

• Working knowledge of crypto/DeFi, with the ability to explain onchain yield to non-crypto-native audiences.

• Willingness to travel to conferences and industry events as needed.

Bonus points
