M0 Labs - Head of Sales Institutional Partnerships

M0 is the universal stablecoin platform. With M0, builders can create their own application-specific stablecoins, and customize attributes such as branding, transfer & compliance behaviors, and yield distribution mechanics. By leveraging M0, businesses can monetize their digital dollar use cases and maintain control over their money tech stack, while not being burdened by issuance and operational heavy-lifting. In short, we’re building a modular platform that allows regulated financial institutions, fintechs, and enterprises to issue their own compliant, programmable digital dollars.

This is a senior, high-impact role with significant autonomy to shape M0’s global sales organization, define its go-to-market motion, and drive aggressive growth across fintech, payments, and corporate segments.
