Business Development Partnerships Crypto Infrastructure API Integration Fintech Blockchain B2B Sales Strategic Negotiation Regulatory Compliance SEPA/SWIFT

Dear Hiring Team,

I am writing to express my interest in the Head of Partnership role at UR. With over 4 years of experience in business development within the crypto infrastructure space, I have successfully closed numerous integration deals with wallet providers and exchanges across Asia and Europe. I am particularly drawn to UR's vision of bridging traditional finance and digital assets. I am excited about the opportunity to build the BD function from scratch and drive the company's growth. Thank you for considering my application.

Describe a time you closed a complex API partnership.
I led negotiations with a major wallet provider, aligning technical and business requirements over 3 months to finalize the integration, resulting in a 20% increase in user adoption.
How do you prioritize potential partners?
I assess potential partners based on user base size, strategic fit with our product, revenue potential, and ease of integration, using a scoring system to rank opportunities.
What is your experience with regulated financial products?
I previously worked at a compliance infrastructure company, ensuring partnerships adhered to regulatory standards across multiple jurisdictions, including KYC/AML requirements.
How do you build relationships in the crypto ecosystem?
I attend key industry conferences like Consensus and engage with leaders on platforms like Telegram and LinkedIn, fostering long-term relationships through consistent follow-ups and value-add conversations.
Why are you interested in UR?
UR's unique value proposition of combining personal IBANs with on-chain currencies directly aligns with my expertise in bridging traditional and decentralized finance, and I am eager to build the BD function from scratch.

About UR

UR is the account layer for the open economy — the regulated infrastructure that lets wallets, developers, and financial platforms give their users a real financial account through one API.

The digital asset economy has wallets. It doesn’t have accounts. UR built them.

We combine a personal IBAN, seven on-chain currencies, SEPA and SWIFT rails, Mastercard, and built-in compliance into six modular building blocks — so partners can integrate in days, not years. Where traditional finance stops at the border and digital assets stop at the wallet, UR connects both: identity, money, rules, and data, all composable, all programmable.

240,000+ accounts live. $1.2B+ in deposits. Partners across four continents. A 50-person team spanning 18+ countries, building from Zurich under one of the world’s most rigorous regulatory frameworks.

We’re moving fast, building in public, and driven by the conviction that open financial rails should be as usable as they are powerful.

About The Role

You’ll own the partnership pipeline — from first conversation to live integration. UR’s distribution model is B2B2C: we grow by signing wallet, exchange, and corporate partners who distribute accounts to their users. You’ll be the person who makes that happen.

This is a hands-on, deal-closing role. Small team, big opportunity, direct impact on the company’s growth trajectory.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the partnership pipeline. Identify, approach, negotiate, and close integration deals with self-custody wallets, exchanges, neobanks, and corporate clients.

  • Build and manage relationships with existing partners to grow adoption and deepen integration.

  • Drive corporate account acquisition. Identify crypto-native companies with multi-currency and FX needs. Close high-deposit accounts.

  • Represent UR at conferences, in industry conversations, and across crypto/fintech communities.

  • Shape the BD playbook. You’ll be building the function, not inheriting a process.

  • Feed product insights back. You hear what partners need — make sure the product team hears it too.

What We’re Looking For

Must-have:

  • 4+ years in business development or partnerships at a crypto infrastructure, fintech infrastructure, or digital asset company

  • Existing relationships with wallet providers, exchanges, or crypto platforms — especially in Asia and Europe

  • Track record of closing integration / API partnerships (not ad sales or SaaS seats)

  • Comfortable working in a small, fast-moving team with high autonomy

  • Understand what an API integration involves — can speak to technical and business stakeholders

 

Strong signals:

  • Previously at Fireblocks, Circle, Chainalysis, MoonPay, Ramp, Mesh, Paxos, Airwallex, or a top exchange

  • Experience selling regulated financial products or compliance infrastructure

  • Network in Southeast Asia, Middle East, or European crypto ecosystems

  • Comfortable with multi-currency, FX, and cross-border payment concepts

 

Not a fit if:

  • Pure DeFi/protocol background with no B2B experience

  • Enterprise bank sales background (different speed, different buyers)

  • Marketing-oriented “partnerships” (co-branding, events) — this is a revenue-driving role

 

What You’ll Work With

  • A product that’s live, growing, and differentiated — not a pitch deck

  • Direct access to the founding team

  • A clear target list: ~50 high-value wallet and exchange partners globally

  • Corporate prospect pipeline in crypto-native companies with treasury/FX needs

Location

Singapore, Dubai, or Zurich preferred. Remote considered for exceptional candidates with the right network.

Compensation

Competitive base + meaningful equity. This is a foundational hire — you’ll build the BD function.
