Business Development Lead (Perps, Prediction Markets or Pro Trading)
New York, on-site | Full-time, permanent | $250,000 to $1,000,000 base (depending on experience), plus performance bonus and tokens
The company
Plexus is partnered with one of the highest-volume consumer trading platforms in crypto. It’s a revenue-generating business with nine figures in annual revenue and hundreds of thousands of users. After growing fast since launch, the company is now building a full multi-asset trading suite, with new products, markets and social trading features coming live.
The team is small, senior and in person. It ships to production daily, so feedback from the market turns into features within days, not quarters.
The role
This is a founding, hands‑on BD role with full ownership of one of three markets: perps, prediction markets or the pro trading platform. You’ll bring the traders who move that market onto the platform, get them trading in public, and build the programme that brings the next thousand in. It’s front‑line hunting, not account management.
What you’ll do
- Map the top traders, groups, whales and creators in your market into a ranked target list
- Own the pipeline end to end, from first message on X or Telegram to an active, public trader
- Design referral, ambassador, creator and partnership deals tied to measurable activity
- Bring sharp, specific trader feedback to product and engineering
- Track traders onboarded, retained activity, volume and engagement
- Turn what works into a repeatable playbook for your market
What you’ll bring
- 2+ yrs leading BD or partnerships at a perps venue, prediction market, trading platform, trading bot or exchange
- A real network of high-volume traders and creators in your market who answer your messages
- Deep fluency in your market, so you can talk to a pro trader as a peer
- A closer’s instinct for structuring deals, and the judgement to know when one isn’t worth doing
Nice to have
- You trade actively yourself and have a following on X or in trading communities
- You’ve launched or scaled a referral, affiliate or ambassador programme
- Reach into non-English trading communities, especially Chinese-speaking ones
Why this role
- A founding seat with full ownership of a market, from strategy and targets to the playbook
- A product with real distribution, so you’re never pitching an unknown
- Top‑of‑market base, with bonus and tokens tied to what you bring in
- Direct access to the founders, with no layers between your idea and the decision
