About the Role

Chainlink Labs is seeking a Sales Lead to establish and expand a new institutional offering. This role will guide financial institutions in launching and managing digital asset initiatives through a unified, Chainlink-led strategy, shaping how banks, asset managers, custodians, and financial market infrastructures access necessary technology and services to bring global finance on-chain.

Responsibilities

  • Define and execute the go-to-market strategy for a unified digital asset infrastructure offering.
  • Establish priority markets, customer profiles, target accounts, and a clear value proposition.
  • Lead structured discovery with senior institutional stakeholders to understand their business priorities, buying committees, budget ownership, and requirements for adoption.
  • Identify and prioritize the strongest commercial opportunities across tokenized assets, tokenized deposits, custody connectivity, institutional data, compliance, and cross-chain distribution.
  • Originate, advance, and close flagship customer deals, working alongside internal account owners to build executive alignment and navigate complex sales cycles.
  • Develop scalable pricing, packaging, services models, and partner economics.
  • Partner with Product, Solutions Architecture, Legal, Marketing, and Partnerships to align customer requirements with technical scope, commercial terms, and market positioning.
  • Turn early opportunities and customer wins into sales playbooks, qualification criteria, and enablement materials.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience across banking, capital markets, fintech, or digital asset infrastructure, with a strong track record in senior commercial roles.
  • Demonstrated success building a new commercial offering, go-to-market motion, or business line from initial market validation through early revenue and repeatable growth.
  • Deep understanding of institutional digital asset infrastructure, including tokenization, custody, stablecoins, interoperability, and compliance, and how these capabilities address institutional needs.
  • Proven ability to engage C-level stakeholders and personally close complex, multi-million-dollar deals with financial institutions.
  • Strong commercial judgment, with the ability to assess market demand, prioritize opportunities, and translate customer insight into compelling propositions and commercial models.
  • A hands-on, player-coach approach, combining direct ownership of strategic deals with the ability to establish processes and enable other sellers.
  • Ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and bring structure to ambiguous opportunities, aligning technical and commercial stakeholders around clear priorities and execution.
  • An established senior network across regional banks, asset managers, custodians, financial market infrastructures, and digital asset firms.
  • Experience packaging platform technology with professional or advisory services and developing commercial models across a partner ecosystem.
  • Familiarity with regulated financial markets, institutional procurement, and the compliance and governance requirements involved in adopting new infrastructure.
