Founding GTM Executive, Private Client (Digital Assets)
Remote (US) | $160-185K base + uncapped % of gross profit
The company
A US-regulated digital asset platform building the bank the crypto-native entrepreneur never had. It’s licensed as a money transmitter across most US states, with a federal trust charter path in motion. The US launch is funded and board-authorized.
The gap
Big crypto platforms cover UHNW and family offices. The $2-10M entrepreneur gets retail pricing and a support queue. Banks entering crypto add trading to private banking but offer no stablecoin operating accounts, no payment rails, and nothing for the client’s business. Most also struggle to underwrite wealth that originated in crypto.
Few US-regulated platforms can bundle fiat, crypto, multi-currency, custody, and card spend into one relationship that covers both the client and their operating company. This one can.
What you sell
- OTC execution: a high-touch desk for size trades
- Stablecoin operating accounts (USDC, USDT)
- Cross-border payments and FX across fiat and stablecoin rails
- Crypto-funded card spend
- Crypto acceptance for high-ticket merchants, settled in USD. Every buyer paying six figures in crypto through the rail is a pre-qualified, KYC-passed prospect.
The client
Founders, entrepreneurs, early crypto adopters, and the companies they own, including LLCs and SPVs. The addressable filter is $2-10M investable, with a $500K-5M average funded balance as the qualification target. They’re crypto-aware but operationally frustrated, running a fragmented stack of exchanges, banks, and processors. They’re reached through the people who already advise them: lawyers, tax advisors, immigration firms, and liquidity-event networks.
The seat
This is a founding seat working directly with the CEO, who leads the first flagship clients while you ramp. You’ll originate and own the first US book, and the playbook is yours to shape.
- Phase 1, Beachhead: prove unit economics with flagship clients through white-glove onboarding
- Phase 2, Hub expansion: NYC, Miami, and SF, with deeper product usage including stablecoin yield, permissioned DeFi, and treasury for client-owned businesses
- Phase 3, Wealth platform: managed portfolios and structured products, growing ARPU 2-3x on the book you built. The role evolves from acquisition into private banker.
Who wins here
- You have 15+ warm relationships with $2-10M individuals or founders you can introduce from day one. A book of funds, institutions, or protocols doesn’t qualify.
- You have 5+ years across private banking, FX and payments, prime brokerage, OTC, digital assets, prime real estate, or luxury goods
- You’re a full-cycle seller who opens, manages, and closes with no SDR support
- You bring a private-banking communication style and strong compliance hygiene
- Regional connections matter more than desk location
Compensation
Base of $160-185K plus uncapped commission on annual gross profit. Marginal tiers step up as your book grows, topping out at 20%. On a $1M gross-profit book, commission adds roughly $160K on top of base.
Why now
US regulation has turned decisively toward licensed, chartered crypto institutions, and only a handful of credible entrants are positioned for it. The founding hire gets a defensible position, a clear client, and an open field.
