At Ripple, we’re building a world where value moves like information does today. It’s big, it’s bold, and we’re already doing it. Through our crypto solutions for financial institutions, businesses, governments and developers, we are improving the global financial system and creating greater economic fairness and opportunity for more people, in more places around the world. And we get to do the best work of our career and grow our skills surrounded by colleagues who have our backs.

If you’re ready to see your impact and unlock incredible career growth opportunities, join us, and build real world value.

THE WORK:

Within Ripple, RippleX’s mission is to inspire and enable developers and institutions to collectively build the Internet of Value, through contributions to open-source protocol development (e.g. the XRP Ledger) ecosystem partnerships.

As part of this mission, Ripple X is increasingly investing in Institutional DeFi, which is the application of blockchain technologies and protocols to tokenized financial assets, combined with appropriate regulatory and compliance guardrails. Institutional DeFi is poised for massive adoption by the financial services industry and Ripple is actively partnering with enterprises and institutions to develop solutions and use cases, leveraging on the XRPL Ledger and its native digital asset, XRP.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

Institutional DeFi is critical to our mission of global financial equity and growth and we are looking for a dynamic and growth-oriented Senior Manager of Business Development to join the Ripple X teams to drive adoption of Institutional DeFi on the XRPL.

In this role, the candidate will work closely with our product, engineering, marketing and trading teams to identify and pursue new partnerships and business development opportunities.

  • Work closely with the product, engineering, and sales teams to bring new products and services to market that enable institutional investors to participate in institutional DeFi in a safe and compliant way
  • Manage and grow a portfolio of institutional DeFi accounts
  • Represent Ripple at industry events and conferences

WHAT YOU'LL BRING:

  • 10+ years of experience in business development and sales with at least 5 years in the traditional financial services industry
  • Relevant experience in either Institutional DeFi, blockchain technologies or fintech.
  • Interest and strong understanding of the institutional DeFi market, in particular, in tokenized real world assets, adopters and the regulatory landscape
  • Excellent relationship-building and negotiation skills
