Head of Business Development

Job Description

About TrustToken TrustToken envisions a world where financial freedom is as accessible as the internet. To realize this vision, we are reinventing financial infrastructure to be more effective and equitable. Our core project is TrueFi, the blockchain protocol for global lending. TrueFi lets portfolio managers launch diverse lending opportunities on-chain to a global base of lenders and borrowers. Since November 2020, TrueFi has facilitated ~$ 1.5B of loan originations and more than $1B of repayments, with no defaults to date. Our mission is to grow TrueFi into the definitive protocol for the nearly $10 trillion global lending market. Our team is global with employees in the US, Poland, Ireland and remote, made up of talented people that bring passion and expertise from pioneering web3/crypto projects, consumer and enterprise technology companies, and institutional finance leaders. We're backed by luminaries from a16z crypto, Blocktower, Founders Fund, Alameda Research, Stanford StartX, and other top global investors from North America, Europe, and Asia. ABOUT THE ROLE: As Head of Business Development, T IP, you will report to the Chief Investment Officer and will be a key member of the Business Development Team. The TrueFi lending protocol currently hosts approximately $500 million in liquidity and has originated over $1.5 billion in loans in the last eighteen months. While the existing borrower base primarily consists of crypto-focused hedge funds, TrueFi is now onboarding traditional finance portfolio managers and borrowers to broadly diversify across both non-crypto and crypto borrower prospects. TrustLabs Institutional Platform (TIP) is a business unit which, while independent of TrueFi, is a critical player in the TrueFi protocol ecosystem. The TrustLabs Institutional Platform (TIP) is a SaaS solution designed to grow the addressable market for the TrueFi protocol. TIP reduces the barrier to entry for traditional investors to interact with DeFi, making TrueFi the easiest place for portfolio managers, borrowers, and lenders to operate their credit and lending strategies in a fully regulatory compliant way.
