We are looking for a business development lead who can drive our customer engagement and facilitate our product discovery process. This individual will be responsible for engaging our external stakeholders and representing our product, company and mission. 

We hold ourselves to a very high hiring bar. To achieve this, we think of roles first and foremost as outcomes to be achieved, not simply a description of tasks. We have developed what we call a ‘Success Profile’ for this role, which has two sections:

• Outcomes: Meaningful and measurable work products that have a significant impact on the team and business over a defined timeframe.
• How to Achieve Outcomes: We have a strong point of view on how this role will succeed in achieving outcomes at Paxos. So, we have taken the Operating System of Paxos - our values - and made it relevant to this role. 

How to achieve the Outcomes

Technical Acumen Required:

• Track record of achieving success in selling complex products with long sales cycles
• An understanding of the agile product development cycle and how to drive external relationships to accommodate discovery.
• Ability to leverage a strong track record in building client relationships at the executive level from other domains/verticals to build a playbook for Paxos and its use cases.
• Ability to quickly learn complex topics, solutions and business problems and success in driving sales across these new topics

Commitment to Excellence:

• Ability to comprehensively cover all aspects of our product during an engagement of external customers and stakeholders.
• Ability not only to serve the needs of your role, but engage external parties to help build the product through discovery.
• Ability and willingness to learn complex and technical concepts in order to engage external stakeholders with the least amount of resources.

Search for the Truth:

• Ability to understand the unique challenges Paxos faces and not just apply a standardized playbook to the situation.
• Ability to engage customers and find their true motivations and pain points in order to build a product that addresses customer needs.
• Ability to find the right decision maker in a complex, large organization.

Be an Owner:

• Bias towards owning sales outcomes even though you don’t control all the aspects of the decision.
• The instinct towards long term customer success and not short term results. 
• You care about the product and its ability to solve customer pain points.

Real-time Candor:

• Ability to give tough feedback about the product to internal teams based on customer conversations.
• Ability to be direct, concise and clear with customers during difficult engagement periods.
