Almacy is seeking a New York-based Business Development Lead to grow our pay-by-handle payments product across partners, exchanges, and creators.
We are looking for a collaborative self-starter who has a track record of closing real deals, not just collecting X handles.
- Experience: Minimum of 3 years of dedicated business development or B2B sales experience within the Web3, crypto, or fintech sectors.
- Proven Track Record: A portfolio of past wins. You should have clear stories of sourcing, negotiating, and successfully closing technical integrations or institutional customers.
- The Network: An existing, warm network that overlaps with crypto wallets, exchanges, fintech platforms, or creator communities.
- Technical Literacy: While you don't need to write smart contracts, you must be capable of translating how pay-by-handle works — sign in with X, a custodial wallet, USDG and ETH settling on Robinhood Chain — into clear business value, and writing specs compelling enough to get engineers excited.
- NYC Presence: You must be based in the New York area, with the energy to network heavily and drive localized ecosystem growth.
- Employment Type: Full-Time
About Almacy
Almacy lets you pay anyone by their X handle. Sign in with X and a custodial wallet is created for you on first sign-in — no seed phrase, no extension. You send USDG and ETH on Robinhood Chain, and every transfer is a real, public on-chain transaction you can look up.
The flow is simple: connect X, get a wallet, pay by handle. Send to @alice, not to 0xa39f4c. Deposit from any wallet or exchange you already use, and withdraw to any 0x address you control. We are growing fast, and we need someone who can turn that simplicity into adoption.
The Team & The Role
You are not operating on an island. While you will be our strategic, boots-on-the-ground force in NYC, you are joining an established, highly collaborative global BD team. You will have the full backing of experienced Web3 BD professionals, marketing resources, and payments engineers to help you clear roadblocks, align technical resources, and scale your pipeline. We need a relentless closer who thrives in a team environment but can independently command the New York ecosystem.
Key Responsibilities
Working alongside our global growth and engineering teams, you will act as the face of Almacy in New York, driving adoption of pay-by-handle payments:
- Pipeline Generation & Execution: Own the end-to-end sales cycle for your region. You will source high-value leads, pitch decision-makers, craft compelling technical specifications to get engineering teams aligned, and negotiate commercial terms.
- Partner Integrations: Expand the number of apps, wallets, and platforms that let their users pay by X handle in USDG and ETH on Robinhood Chain.
- Exchange & Fintech Adoption: Drive meaningful integrations with exchanges and fintech platforms so users can deposit into Almacy and withdraw out with the tools they already use.
- Ecosystem Expansion: Secure strategic partnerships and technical integrations with major crypto wallets and exchanges to make deposits and withdrawals seamless.
- Local Ecosystem Domination: Actively chase down in person meetings, represent Almacy at local crypto and traditional finance conferences, and turn the NYC network into a high converting growth funnel.
Bonus Points
- Familiarity or experience pitching consumer crypto, wallets, stablecoins, or payments products.
- Deep DeFi knowledge—we are always looking to increase the collective corpus of DeFi and payments knowledge at Almacy.
