The Opportunity

Validation Cloud is expanding its AI-driven infrastructure offerings, and we’re seeking a commercial leader to drive the go-to-market for our Data x AI product line. As Director of Business Development – Data x AI, you’ll join a high-performing BD team with deep expertise across staking, node infrastructure, and protocol growth. You’ll complement this team by owning our efforts in a new vertical—AI-enhanced data intelligence—helping to bring our proprietary engine, Mavrik, to a growing roster of institutional partners.

This role is ideal for someone excited to own a fast-emerging category, shape product-market fit, and work alongside technical and commercial leaders who are redefining how the world interacts with Web3 data.

Key Responsibilities

  • Identify and build relationships with institutional users of blockchain data—funds, analytics platforms, data providers, and large enterprises.

  • Drive early adoption and onboarding of design partners by aligning Mavrik’s capabilities with market needs.

  • Own the sales and partner pipeline from opportunity sourcing to close.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with executive, product, and engineering teams to shape go-to-market strategy.

  • Represent Validation Cloud at relevant conferences and events, evangelizing our Data x AI platform.

  • Collaborate closely with an established Business Development team focused on staking, node API, and protocol relationships—bringing a complementary lens to the Data x AI vertical.

About You

Attributes

  • Strategic thinker with a builder mindset and the ability to translate emerging opportunities into structured go-to-market motions.

  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and bringing structure to new initiatives.

  • Collaborative, low-ego approach to working cross-functionally with technical and commercial teams.

  • Excited by the convergence of AI, data infrastructure, and Web3—and motivated to shape what’s next.

Requirements

  • 5–7+ years in business development, partnerships, or venture, ideally in Web3, infrastructure, or AI.

  • Proven track record of building high-value partnerships and leading deals end-to-end.

  • Familiarity with blockchain node/staking infrastructure, decentralized storage, or AI model ecosystems.

  • Experience working closely with engineering and product teams.

  • Ability to operate independently while contributing to a cohesive team strategy.

  • 5–8 years of experience in enterprise business development, partnerships, or technical sales (Web3, data infra, analytics, or AI preferred).

  • Strong understanding of B2B SaaS GTM, particularly around data products or API services.

  • Familiarity with Web3 and blockchain data infrastructure is a strong plus, but not required.

  • Experience taking early-stage products to market and working in fast-paced, high-growth environments.

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, across technical and non-technical audiences.
