VP, Ecosystem & Product Partnerships at zerohash

zerohash is hiring a VP of Ecosystem and Product Partnerships to lead the company’s global ecosystem strategy and drive the expansion of our blockchain, fintech, and infrastructure partner network. Reporting directly to the Chief Business Officer, this role owns the full lifecycle of ecosystem development : from strategic identification of new networks, to commercial negotiation, to delivery oversight, to post‑launch growth.

As VP, you will shape zerohash’s multi‑year ecosystem roadmap and work closely with Product, Engineering, Compliance, and the Executive Team to ensure that new chains, tokens, and ecosystem‑driven products are delivered predictably and at scale. This is a high‑visibility leadership role responsible for steering how zerohash integrates with the broader digital asset ecosystem and how those integrations translate into real customer value.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and own zerohash’s global ecosystem and product partnership strategy in partnership with the CBO and Executive Team.
  • Lead all sourcing, evaluation, and negotiations for new chain, token, and strategic product partnerships.
  • Build and manage a pipeline of ecosystem opportunities that aligns with zerohash’s product roadmap and long‑term business goals.
  • Shape joint product strategies with blockchain foundations, token issuers, and fintech partners to unlock new capabilities and differentiated offerings.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to scope, prioritise, and oversee delivery of all ecosystem integrations.
  • Structure and negotiate commercial frameworks, incentives, milestone programmes, and long‑term strategic agreements.
  • Represent zerohash at the highest levels across the ecosystem, including with founders, protocol executives, investment partners, and senior leadership teams.
  • Build and mentor a small, high‑performing team across partnerships, ecosystem architecture, and partner success.
  • Create an internal operating rhythm that provides executive visibility into ecosystem strategy, integration progress, and partner performance.

Requirements

  • 8 to 12 years of experience in fintech, crypto infrastructure, or enterprise partnerships with significant exposure to ecosystem development and strategic product collaborations.
  • Proven track record owning and closing complex, multi‑party deals and driving them through product and engineering execution.
  • Strong technical understanding of how zerohash’s infrastructure works, including API‑based custody, wallet creation, transaction processing, settlement workflows, and stablecoin or token movement.
  • Deep knowledge of blockchain architectures, token models, incentive structures, and compliance considerations.
  • Experience working directly with Product and Engineering leadership to prioritise integrations and co‑built initiatives.
  • Executive presence, able to engage with founders, C‑suite partners, and internal leadership with clarity and authority.
  • Highly strategic thinker with the ability to balance long‑term ecosystem positioning with short‑term delivery needs.
  • What Success Looks Like

  • zerohash expands its supported ecosystem with multiple new chains, tokens, and strategic partners each year.
  • Strategic partnerships lead to new product capabilities used across core customers and platforms.
  • Product, Engineering, and the Ecosystem function operate with tight alignment and predictable delivery.
  • zerohash becomes a key infrastructure partner for major blockchain ecosystems and fintech platforms.
  • Partners view zerohash as a strategic, long‑term collaborator with clear value creation and follow‑through.
  • Benefits

  • Chance to earn equity
  • Maternity & Paternity leave
  • WeWork Membership
  • Work‑From‑Home yearly stipend
  • Learning & Development stipend (after 6 months)
