About The Job

zerohash is hiring a VP of Ecosystem and Product Partnerships to lead the company’s global ecosystem strategy and drive the expansion of our blockchain, fintech, and infrastructure partner network. Reporting directly to the Chief Business Officer, this role owns the full lifecycle of ecosystem development: from strategic identification of new networks, to commercial negotiation, to delivery oversight, to post-launch growth.

As VP, you will shape zerohash’s multi-year ecosystem roadmap and work closely with Product, Engineering, Compliance, and the Executive Team to ensure that new chains, tokens, and ecosystem-driven products are delivered predictably and at scale. This is a high-visibility leadership role responsible for steering how zerohash integrates with the broader digital asset ecosystem and how those integrations translate into real customer value.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and own zerohash’s global ecosystem and product partnership strategy in partnership with the CBO and Executive Team.
  • Lead all sourcing, evaluation, and negotiations for new chain, token, and strategic product partnerships.
  • Build and manage a pipeline of ecosystem opportunities that aligns with zerohash’s product roadmap and long-term business goals.
  • Shape joint product strategies with blockchain foundations, token issuers, and fintech partners to unlock new capabilities and differentiated offerings.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to scope, prioritize, and oversee delivery of all ecosystem integrations.
  • Structure and negotiate commercial frameworks, incentives, milestone programs, and long-term strategic agreements.
  • Represent zerohash at the highest levels across the ecosystem, including with founders, protocol executives, investment partners, and senior leadership teams.
  • Build and mentor a small, high-performing team across partnerships, ecosystem architecture, and partner success.
  • Create an internal operating rhythm that provides executive visibility into ecosystem strategy, integration progress, and partner performance.

Requirements

  • 8 to 12 years of experience in fintech, crypto infrastructure, or enterprise partnerships with significant exposure to ecosystem development and strategic product collaborations.
  • Proven track record owning and closing complex, multi-party deals and driving them through product and engineering execution.
  • Strong technical understanding of how zerohash’s infrastructure works, including API-based custody, wallet creation, transaction processing, settlement workflows, and stablecoin or token movement.
  • Deep knowledge of blockchain architectures, token models, incentive structures, and compliance considerations.
  • Experience working directly with Product and Engineering leadership to prioritize integrations and co-built initiatives.
  • Executive presence, able to engage with founders, C-suite partners, and internal leadership with clarity and authority.
  • Highly strategic thinker with the ability to balance long-term ecosystem positioning with short-term delivery needs.

What Success Looks Like

  • zerohash expands its supported ecosystem with multiple new chains, tokens, and strategic partners each year.
  • Strategic partnerships lead to new product capabilities used across core customers and platforms.
  • Product, Engineering, and the Ecosystem function operate with tight alignment and predictable delivery.
  • zerohash becomes a key infrastructure partner for major blockchain ecosystems and fintech platforms.
  • Partners view zerohash as a strategic, long-term collaborator with clear value creation and follow-through.

  • Maternity & Paternity leave
  • WeWork Membership

The zerohash Culture

All zerohash employees are guided by the following characteristics and core principles:

  • Passion - We are innovating quickly and challenging the status quo. We want you to think big, be creative and make a difference every day.
  • Collaborative - A good attitude and respect for others. We’re teammates, not co-workers. Everything we do is a shared success and equally a shared failure - we talk in terms of “we” not “me”.
  • Initiative - An ability and passion for learning and asking questions. We will champion you, challenge you and push you to achieve your best - and we expect you to do the same.
  • Empathy - An ability to listen, respect, and understand your co-workers, customers, and everyone you interact with no matter how different they are to you.
  • Adaptability - An ability to respond quickly. We are in a fast-paced industry and so we expect you to be creative when solving a new problem and comfortable under pressure.
  • Transparency - We believe that transparency is critical to empowering everyone to make the best decisions, both the company to its people and vice versa.
  • Integrity - Integrity creates trust. As both an organization collectively and as individuals, it is our most valuable asset.
