Business development lead

At Fern, we believe people deserve to own their money and transact with it freely. We’re building a set of first-of-their-kind products, powered by crypto, to enable that future. Our first product, Fern for Business, is an onchain bank account that has seen tens of millions in transaction volume and exponentially growing revenue. We’ve gotten this far with a tiny team! We’re excited to scale our team as we enter the next phases of company growth.

We’re looking for a truly exceptional person to be our first jack-of-all-trades business hire for Fern. You’ll get to own business development, pricing strategy, sales, marketing, partnerships, brand, events, and more. If you’re interested in learning what it takes to scale a product with early PMF to series A and beyond, and you consider yourself to be a highly inventive and tenacious builder, we’d love to meet you.
