## Requirements

- Strong enterprise sales experience: 1-2+ years closing complex, larger deals. This matters more than web3, AI, or security background, which we expect you can pick up.
- Genuinely persuasive: comfortable making a case to skeptical, sophisticated buyers and changing their mind
- Strong market instincts: you read a market and know where to be, not just who to call
- NYC-based and in-market: you live in the NYC area and work the ground game in person, including meetings, events, and dinners. You'll work occasionally from our office at 1 World Trade Center to meet with the team and clients in person. You will travel up to 20-40% whenever a deal or event calls for it.
- Self-directed: we're a 50+ person team with a flat hierarchy, so you'll get trust and room to define the role, not a heavily scripted playbook

## Description

Asymmetric Research:
Asymmetric Research is a specialized security firm focused on long-term, integrated partnerships with L1/L2 blockchains and DeFi protocols. We help teams build resilient systems, strengthen security posture, and proactively address emerging threats.

Culture:
AR is a fully remote organization and members of our team have been strongly committed to open-source values for decades, having worked at organizations with deep open-source roots and strong security programs including Google, Netflix, Mozilla, Stripe, and Jump Crypto. We pride ourselves on maintaining the highest levels of confidentiality, trust, and professionalism.

About the role:
We're looking for someone to serve as a strategic partnerships manager to join our business development team.  Your work would involve getting in front of crypto/AI builders and positioning us as the security and infrastructure partner of choice. You'll be building a pipeline through a mix of outbound outreach, in-person relationship-building, conferences, and other channels.

What you'd actually be doing:

- Identifying and prioritizing prospects (established protocols, exchanges, L1/L2 teams, fintechs, and AI companies)

- Being out in the market, attending conferences, meetups, dinners, wherever the people who make these decisions actually are

- Running full-cycle deals: outreach, scoping conversations, working with our team to size engagements, and closing

- Making a compelling, persuasive case for why security should be a priority.

- Using market signals (who's raising, shipping, or upgrading) to reach teams before they go looking for a security partner.

What we're looking for:

- **Strong enterprise sales experience**: 1-2+ years closing complex, larger deals. This matters more than web3, AI, or security background, which we expect you can pick up.

- **Genuinely persuasive**: comfortable making a case to skeptical, sophisticated buyers and changing their mind

- **Strong market instincts:** you read a market and know where to be, not just who to call

- **NYC-based and in-market:** you live in the NYC area and work the ground game in person, including meetings, events, and dinners. You'll work occasionally from our office at 1 World Trade Center to meet with the team and clients in person.  You will travel up to 20-40% whenever a deal or event calls for it.

- **Self-directed**: we're a 50+ person team with a flat hierarchy, so you'll get trust and room to define the role, not a heavily scripted playbook

Good to have, not required:

- Existing relationships with funds, exchanges, or protocol teams

- Prior exposure to crypto, artificial intelligence, security, or technical sales is a plus

Benefits:

- 25+ days of paid time off

- Comprehensive stipends for home office, wellbeing, professional development, and more

- Pension/401(k) programs

- Life insurance

- Premium healthcare

- Competitive base salary

- Lucrative bonus programs
