The VP of Business Development’s main goal is to help and guide the growth of the Kadena Labs group through developing institutional business, strategic planning, and team management. Kadena Labs team is focused on building out the next generation of finance and business using tokenization and blockchain technology. Founded by two JP Morgan lead developers, Kadena was built to create more efficient capital markets and business transactions. Our technology provides a programmable, scalable and secure POW layer 1 built for settlement.
The Kadena ecosystem will grow rapidly and dynamically in the coming years, so the candidate must be comfortable and capable in quickly capitalizing on arising opportunities and ready to take on roles and responsibilities best suited to maximize company growth. We will be looking for a candidate with a strong entrepreneurial spirit and a character that is welcoming of new challenges that will arise in a fast-paced and high-growth industry.
The role will liaise with Ecosystem and Solutions departments to ensure always being up to date on current and future Kadena developments. It is expected for this knowledge to translate to concise and actionable business and strategic roadmaps that will help ultimately propel Kadena and its ecosystem to leaders in the institutional digital asset space.
The candidate is expected to learn existing Kadena processes and company culture, and to bring forward such values to the community as a whole. As novel initiatives take form, the need may arise to shift focus to growing, managing, and scaling said companies.
Kadena requires all employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as a condition of employment. Kadena considers requests for reasonable accommodations for medical or religious reasons pursuant to applicable law.
This role has an annual starting salary range of $170,000 - $240,000 + benefits listed below. Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to your individual skills and experience.
Kadena is the industry’s only scalable layer 1 Proof of Work (PoW) blockchain. The principal feature that drives Kadena is scalability, which enables Kadena to deliver infrastructure-grade performance for any blockchain project. Along with our own smart contract language Pact, Kadena's platform provides the world the tools and environment to turn ideas and ambitions into reality. Founded by Stuart Popejoy and William Martino who created JP Morgan’s first blockchain and led the SEC’s Crypto Committee, Kadena aims to allow for true blockchain mass adoption.
At Kadena, we value diversity, curiosity, a work/life balance, kindness, and teamwork.
At Kadena we know that cultivating diversity and fostering an inclusive work environment is critical to our impact and success. We create an environment where no individual is advantaged or disadvantaged because of their background.
