About Symbiotic

  • Symbiotic is the infrastructure beneath collateral markets, where capital can secure financial obligations, remain productive, and be enforced by code.
  • By changing the economics of onchain collateral, Symbiotic enables new categories of neofinance applications that were previously impossible to build - including credit, insurance, RWA liquidity, and more.
  • As institutional capital increasingly moves onchain, Symbiotic is positioned to become the coordination layer connecting capital and risk across the onchain economy.
  • Backed by Paradigm, Pantera, Cyber.fund, and Coinbase Ventures, we power 80+ vaults, 74,000+ active stakers, and 111 operators - with Chainlink and Cap Labs among the teams live in production.

Our People

We’re a tight-knit team of experienced builders working at the forefront of financial infrastructure. Our backgrounds span high-growth tech start-ups, leading crypto companies, major banks, insurers, and financial institutions. We work with ownership, a high bar for craft, and the urgency of an early-stage company - in an environment where people are trusted to take initiative and supported to do their best work.

We’re looking for talented professionals to join us at a defining moment, as Symbiotic helps shape the next generation of onchain finance.

The Role

This is a senior commercial role working closely with our CEO and product leads. You'll operate across Symbiotic's product suite driving partnerships, DeFi integrations and strategic alliances.

What you'll do

  • Support the leadership team with business development across our product verticals: streamlining partner pipelines, keeping the CRM current with call notes, coordinating materials, research and project management.
  • Bring a strategic angle to Symbiotic's commercial strategy.
  • Identify market opportunities and strategic alliances that position Symbiotic to win market share with an unfair advantage over its competitors.
  • Keep up-to-date intelligence on target accounts.
  • Leverage your network to open doors and accelerate deals.
  • Collaborate with leadership and the product team to develop and execute Symbiotic's growth strategy.
  • Engage with our customer base and the broader DeFi community, gather feedback on Symbiotic's offering, and incorporate insights into product roadmaps and development initiatives.

Who You Are

  • Strong evidence of commercial success. You can walk us through deals and strategic alliances you've closed, and how you got them over the line.
  • Strong negotiator with real pushing power. You hold terms, you close, and you bring energy to a room.
  • Deep, pre-existing network among liquid crypto-native funds, DeFi curators and blue-chip protocol founders.
  • DeFi-fluent operator. You have a track record of driving measurable growth in TVL, liquidity or protocol adoption. You understand value flows across lending , CDPs, DEXs and yield-bearing stablecoins, and can explain what each category needs to get right to win.
  • You know the plumbing. You've worked as or alongside curators, allocated capital into on-chain assets and vaults, and built or run liquidity mining programmes.
  • You understand how governance works and how the major protocols make decisions, and you've taken an asset or product through that process to get it integrated.
  • Winning mentality and the ability to work independently.
  • Deep understanding of the lending and borrowing product landscape.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset and a passion for building on-chain financial applications.
  • Technical background is a bonus.
  • TradFi experience is a bonus.

CRM experience (Hubspot) is a bonus
