Description

We believe Ethereum has the potential to solve some of humanity’s most crucial coordination issues. Since our initial inception as a research group, we have sought to scale both its technology and values.

At present, the most pressing bottleneck to the growth of Ethereum is its performance and scalability. We are building the most elegant solution to this problem. We do this in the open (under an MIT open source license) because we believe in open source innovation and its ability to accelerate growth.

OP Labs is building Optimism mainnet, and by extension, the infrastructure that powers all OP-Stack chains. We are improving Ethereum’s performance by orders of magnitude and donating the profits from doing so to funding Ethereum public goods. By operating as a Public Benefit Corporation, OP Labs can align its incentives with the public good and take positive-sum steps toward a sustainable future for the internet.

 

The VP Business Operations & Strategy will play a vital role in driving Optimism’s growth, efficiency, and profitability within the organization by developing and executing strategies that align with the Collective’s goals and objectives. This person will help shape the overall direction and performance of the Optimism Collective.

  • Develop budgets, forecast financial performance, and track key financial metrics; responsible for monitoring the company's performance against key metrics and benchmarks, and providing regular reports to senior management and stakeholders.
  • Oversee revenue planning and goaling while developing accurate revenue forecasts to help identify and size existing and new business opportunities.
  • Lead efforts to identify and pursue new business opportunities, which could include expanding into new markets, forming strategic partnerships, or launching new product lines.
  • Provide key performance metrics to the executive leadership team as well as GTM concerning account performance, pipeline management, opportunities/risks, and brand/product performance.
  • Collaborate with other departments such as DevRel, Marketing and Product to ensure alignment and coordination across the organization.
  • Develop a deep understanding of our peer and competitor positioning as well as the emerging crypto landscape to inform your recommendations.
  • Leverage advanced business intelligence tools to provide insights, forecast trends, and drive decision-making.

What skills do you bring?

  • 10+ years of experience in a business-strategy role (management consulting, investment banking, strategy at a hedge fund, operations at a start-up, etc.).
  • Exceptional analytical skills that help make data-driven decisions and recommendations amongst ambiguity; demonstrated ability to adapt quickly to shifting priorities, and make decisive decisions.
  • Demonstrated success working in a revenue operations leadership function that has created material growth amidst a rapidly changing industry.
  • Excellent cross-functional collaborator who is able to move quickly and drive results in a matrixed environment; proven experience building buy-in for recommendations across all departments and levels of the organization.
  • Strong understanding of blockchain, protocols, Defi, NFTs, DAOs, and other crypto-native technologies and communities.
  • Proven ability to collaborate with and ideally lead supporting functions (e.g., DevRel, Data, Finance) to further accelerate growth.
  • Natural curiosity to understand and solve complex business problems.

Business Development Manager / Lead

Full time
Remote
About the Role
We’re looking for a hands-on Business Development Manager who can help Schedar build strategic relationships across the AI, Web3, crypto, infrastructure, and startup ecosystem.
This is not a “send cold messages and collect logos” role. We need someone who can identify high-value founders, protocols, funds, ecosystem partners, communities, infrastructure providers, KOLs, accelerators, and technical teams — then turn those relationships into real opportunities for collaboration, deal flow, partnerships, talent, and growth.
You’ll work directly with Schedar’s team, founders, portfolio-related projects, and external ecosystem partners to expand Schedar’s network and support early-stage AI-native and Web3 products.
What You’ll Own
Identify and source high-potential startups, founders, projects, protocols, and ecosystem partners across AI and Web3
Build relationships with founders, operators, investors, accelerators, developer communities, protocol ecosystems, KOLs, and strategic partners
Create and manage outbound BD pipelines across LinkedIn, Telegram, X, email, Discord, events, and founder communities
Support Schedar’s deal flow by discovering early-stage AI-native and Web3 projects that may be relevant for investment, incubation, or collaboration
Build partnership opportunities for Schedar-backed and incubated projects
Map key ecosystems, communities, events, accelerators, grants programs, and founder networks
Qualify inbound and outbound leads based on relevance, stage, traction, team quality, technical depth, and strategic fit
Coordinate intro calls, follow-ups, partner conversations, and relationship tracking
Maintain CRM hygiene and structured notes on founders, projects, partners, and opportunities
Work with product, growth, recruiting, and investment teams to turn ecosystem relationships into actionable outcomes
Help represent Schedar in online communities, events, founder groups, and partner conversations
What We’re Looking For
Experience in business development, partnerships, ecosystem growth, venture scouting, startup operations, community, sales, or founder relations
Strong interest in AI, Web3, crypto, blockchain infrastructure, developer tools, automation, fintech, or frontier technology
Ability to identify high-signal people, projects, and communities before they become obvious
Comfortable doing direct outreach and building relationships from scratch
Strong communication skills and ability to explain Schedar’s value clearly to founders, partners, and technical teams
Ability to qualify opportunities, ask good questions, and understand what makes a project strategically relevant
Comfortable working in a fast-moving, ambiguous, remote-first environment
Strong follow-up discipline, CRM organization, and ownership over relationship pipelines
Ability to move between strategy and execution in the same day
High agency, curiosity, and bias toward action
Nice to Have
Existing network across Web3, AI, crypto, venture, startup, developer, or founder communities
Experience working at a VC fund, accelerator, startup studio, crypto exchange, protocol foundation, or early-stage startup
Understanding of DeFi, wallets, L1/L2 ecosystems, infrastructure, token incentives, on-chain analytics, decentralized compute, or AI agents
Experience with tools like Notion, Airtable, HubSpot, Attio, Clay, Apollo, Telegram, Discord, X, LinkedIn, or similar
Experience sourcing startups, founders, investment opportunities, or strategic partnerships
Experience organizing founder intros, ecosystem collaborations, demo days, events, or community partnerships
Ability to write clear outreach messages, partner briefs, founder notes, and follow-up summaries
Multilingual ability or strong network in Asia, Europe, MENA, or global Web3 markets is a plus
You Might Be a Fit If
You enjoy building relationships before there is a clear playbook
You can spot strong founders and interesting technical projects early
You are comfortable talking to founders, investors, developers, community leads, and ecosystem partners
You don’t just network — you turn conversations into structured next steps
You understand that BD in early-stage ecosystems is about trust, timing, relevance, and follow-through
You are curious about AI-native products, Web3 infrastructure, decentralized compute, developer tools, and new digital primitives
You like working close to founders and helping early products find the right partners, users, investors, and talent
You care about speed, ownership, and measurable relationship outcomes
Why Join Schedar
Work at the intersection of AI, Web3, venture capital, and early-stage company building
Collaborate directly with founders, technical builders, investors, and ecosystem leaders
High ownership over Schedar’s partnership and ecosystem development
Remote-first and flexible setup
Exposure to Schedar’s portfolio, network, and technical ecosystem
Opportunity to help discover and support new primitives for the digital economy
Build relationships across some of the most interesting AI-native and Web3 communities globally
Compensation
Competitive compensation based on experience, scope, and role structure. Performance-based incentives, success-based bonuses, equity/token exposure, or project-based upside may be available depending on the specific engagement model.
