About us

We’re building Predicate, a platform setting the standard for seamless and real-time compliance enforcement for financial applications built on blockchains. Predicate empowers teams to create modular policy enforcement for anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance enforced in real-time before transactions are executed. Our system enforces these policies with cryptographic guarantees, providing robust, scalable risk management tailored to real-world use cases. Today, we power the end-to-end compliance infrastructure for fintechs and financial institutions across the digital assets industry.

The role

As Senior Business Development Lead, you will deeply understand enterprise customers’ core compliance and regulatory challenges. This role extends beyond a traditional sales function and bridges into a deployment strategist function. Success will come by serving as a trusted partner of enterprise customers to design onchain compliance solutions that meet the business, legal, and regulatory requirements of their financial products.

  • Identify, structure, and manage strategic partnerships that expand Predicate's distribution and product

  • Collaborate with Predicate engineering and product teams to relay customer and partner feedback into the roadmap

  • Contribute to the development and refinement of Predicate's go-to-market strategy as a senior member of the business team

  • Ability to translate ambiguous regulatory and compliance requirements into clear, actionable guidance for customer teams

  • Strong understanding of, or demonstrated ability to quickly acquire knowledge of, blockchain infrastructure and the regulatory landscape governing digital assets
