Business Development Associate

About Consensys

Consensys Incorporated is an independent blockchain infrastructure company, spun out of Consensys Software Inc. — one of the world's leading blockchain technology companies and the primary development organization behind the Ethereum ecosystem. We build and operate neutral, institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure that connects banks, asset managers, custodians, and financial market infrastructures to digital asset networks, meeting the non-negotiable standards of institutional finance: privacy, scalability, resilience, security, and regulatory readiness. Headquartered in Miami, Florida, and operating across the US, Europe, and Australia, Consensys Incorporated launched as an independent entity in September 2026 and is building the team to match its ambition.

Why this role exists

We build and operate blockchain infrastructure for financial market infrastructure: settlement, custody and clearing institutions that put real value on the networks we run. We have signed clients with production dates this quarter and a platform standing on its own for the first time. Our pipeline of banks, custodians and market operators is growing faster than we can work it properly. You are the first hire on the Business Development team. You own the pipeline data and act as the coordination layer between prospects, engineering and leadership. You also make sure that what we promise in a sales conversation matches what we can deliver. When someone asks where a deal stands, what a client actually asked for, or whether a commitment is real, you're the person with the answer.

What you'll own

• Building pipeline with financial institutions: banks, custodians, broker-dealers, asset managers and market infrastructure providers. You work out who to approach, find the right person in each institution, and get the first meeting.
• Account research before every conversation. You should know a prospect's settlement stack, where their collateral and liquidity problems are, what they've said publicly about tokenization, and who else they're talking to. Nobody should walk into a meeting cold.
• Qualifying opportunities against what we actually sell: access, execution, interoperability and network engines, plus forward-deployed engineering engagements, managed hosting, interop settlement and sequencer services. That means working out whether there's a real budget, a real owner, a real timeline and a real problem we solve, and saying so early when there isn't.
• Supporting live deal cycles,...
