We are a VC-backed on-chain financial infrastructure company on a mission to upgrade global financial markets through 24/7 instant settlement. We're building the next generation of financial rails by bridging traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralised finance (DeFi) in a transparent, efficient, and highly scalable way.
Our first product is Multiliquid — an institutional-grade smart contract protocol that enables deep interoperability and liquidity across tokenised financial assets and stablecoins. As the flagship product of, Multiliquid sets the foundation for our broader vision: replatforming the entire financial system on 10x better infrastructure, powered by blockchain.
We're currently raising a $4M seed round to expand the team and scale the next phase of growth.
We are led by a 3x founder who previously co-founded Allica, a UK-based bank and one of Europe's fastest-growing companies.
Role Overview
We're looking for a Sales Lead to drive institutional adoption of Multiliquid. This is a hands-on, full-cycle sales role focused on acquiring and managing clients including trading desks, exchanges, corporate treasuries, stablecoin issuers, crypto platforms, fintechs, platform businesses, TradFi firms and other capital allocators that can benefit from instant access to and convertibility between risk-free, yield bearing assets and deep liquidity. As our first sales hire, you'll play a critical role in shaping our go-to-market strategy, building long-term client relationships, and laying the groundwork for a scalable sales organization. This role is ideal for someone who can translate technical value into commercial outcomes, and who wants to help build the future of institutional DeFi from the ground up.
