Recruitment BD Sales Manager Web3

Hyphen Connect is a founder-led recruitment firm specializing in sourcing top-tier talent for Web3 teams globally. From DeFi protocols to Layer 1 chains, were trusted by founders to place engineers, product leaders, and growth talent that help them scale faster and smarter. With deep domain expertise and access to passive candidate networks, we’ve built a strong track record serving high-growth Web3 ventures.

We’re looking for a BD / Sales Manager in Web3 to help expand our client base. You’ll own the top of the sales funnel, identify new opportunities, and close partnerships with Web3 companies that are scaling and hiring.

In This Role, You Will

• Identify and engage potential Web3 clients (protocols, DAOs, infrastructure, NFT, gaming, DePIN, etc.)
• Build and maintain a pipeline of hiring leads and warm founder intros
• Pitch Hyphen Connect’s recruitment services and value proposition
• Qualify hiring needs, team structure, and urgency with potential clients
• Collaborate with the founder and delivery team on candidate briefs and role execution
• Attend relevant virtual / IRL events (ETHGlobal, hackathons, Twitter spaces, etc.) to source leads
  
  

• 2–5 years experience in business development, sales, partnerships, or founder relations
• Strong familiarity with the Web3 ecosystem — ideally with founder, VC, or protocol connections
• Able to pitch in a founder-first tone (consultative > transactional)
• Comfortable working in a lean team with high agency
• Bonus: Experience in a recruitment agency, talent platform, or early-stage Web3 startup
