The Role

This is not a traditional sales role. You’ll be embedded in the most technically ambitious conversations in Web3: working directly with founders, CTOs, researchers, and institutional players shaping the next generation of blockchain systems.

You’ll represent one of the most respected security brands in crypto globally, with the autonomy to identify opportunities, build trusted long‑term partnerships, and drive strategic engagements from first conversation to execution.

You’ll operate at the intersection of technical expertise, high‑stakes relationship building, and strategic dealmaking. Acting as a force multiplier between ChainSecurity’s world‑class researchers and the teams building the future of finance and crypto infrastructure.

The ideal profile combines technical depth, commercial instinct, and intellectual curiosity. You should be comfortable discussing protocol architecture and attack surfaces with engineers, while also understanding incentives, stakeholder dynamics, and how strategic decisions get made.

If you want to stay close to cutting‑edge engineering while operating with the speed, autonomy, and influence of a business role, this is that position.

Who are you?

Expertise: deep and wide

Ownership and mindset

• You are organized, proactive, and have a strong work ethic.

Commercial and Communication skills

• You combine technical credibility with strong commercial instincts. You enjoy building relationships, managing deal processes, and winning deals.
• You communicate complex ideas clearly and adapt naturally to different audiences, from engineers to executives.
• You enjoy public‑facing work, both IRL and online, 1‑on‑1 or on stage.
