Account Executive - Staking

New York preferred | Remote

Talent Wanted. For hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success.

Fridtjof Nansen crossed the Arctic, going places no human had ever been. Together with our users, we’re doing the same onchain: charting entirely new territory.

Nansen is a special company. We're building the single best product for onchain investing, allowing A New Way To Trade that’s agentic, onchain, and fully integrated.

If you’re looking for an adventure, you’ve come to the right place.

Our mission: Surface the signal and create winners

What you'll do at Nansen

You own the full sales cycle in the staking vertical. Foundations, ecosystem teams, institutional holders — these are your prospects. From first outreach to signed contract, from renewal to expansion, this is your book.

Own the complete sales cycle: prospect, qualify, close, renew, and expand partnerships with blockchain foundations and ecosystem teams

Manage the end-to-end launch of new validator ecosystems: initial scoping, commercial negotiation, delegation activation, and go-to-market execution

Identify and engage institutional holders and ecosystem leads who need staking infrastructure and validator partnerships

Track new chain launches, protocol developments, and market shifts to find opportunities before they're obvious

Partner with product, marketing, and customer success to close complex deals and retain accounts

What we're looking for

3–5 years in sales or business development, with a track record that shows up in numbers: quota attainment, deal size, account growth

Deep knowledge of the crypto ecosystem: who the key players are, how capital moves, which protocols matter. You know who actually moves volume

1+ year of staking-specific BD or sales experience. Validators, liquid staking protocols, institutional staking infrastructure — you understand how this market works

Comfortable working cross-functionally with product, marketing, and customer success to navigate complex deals

You use AI to move faster: prospecting research, call prep, deal intelligence. Show us what that looks like in practice

Candidates must already have the legal right to work in the US at the time of application

Nice-to-have:

Based in New York, with the ability to travel for partner meetings and events

An existing network across validator operators, L1/L2 foundations, or institutional staking teams

What we offer our crew

Competitive salary. Meaningful equity. Real ownership in what you build

Fully remote with two no-meeting days a week — because deep work doesn't happen in a Google Meet

Annual company retreat and team off-sites in one of our offices: Singapore, Bangkok, London, and Oslo — flights and accommodation covered

Unlimited AI tokens — Claude, OpenAI, whatever helps you move fast

Your own OpenClaw for work

Nansen Pro account — full access to the most detailed onchain data in the market

A team of 80+ builders that started as data engineers and scientists. The people who built the product you're selling are your colleagues — they can answer every question a prospect throws at you

Speed, ownership, curiosity, courage. These are how we run

A front-row seat (and a hand in building) the next chapter of finance

Work visa sponsorship is not provided for this role.

We charted the territory. Your job is to own the staking market.
