Bastion provides the regulated infrastructure businesses need to hold, move, and issue stablecoins. Our platform combines custodial wallets, global payment orchestration, and stablecoin issuance. Customers can use each product independently or connect them into a single end-to-end flow.
We operate through our own regulated entities, with compliance and risk controls built directly into the platform. We can also support customers operating under their own licenses with the compliance and financial operations required to run their programs.
We’re hiring a Senior Director, Business Development to win and close strategic deals with large enterprises: Fortune 500 companies, global brands, and major platforms adopting stablecoin, payments, and treasury infrastructure. These deals are large, complex, and don’t fit a standard sales motion. You open the account, get to the executives who own the decision, navigate the buying committee, structure the commercial terms, and get it signed.
New enterprise buyers appear every quarter, from global brands exploring branded stablecoins to Fortune 500 teams rethinking cross-border payouts internally and for their end-consumers. You find them early and build executive relationships that last beyond a single deal.
You work with our CEO on executive relationships and strategic deals, with product, legal, and compliance on deal structure. This is inherrently a hands-on role with leadership opportunities. We will work with you on what the right long-term career path and ownership scope.
While we have a preference for this role to be based in New York City, we are open to the role being remote across the United States.
Instead of a list of requirements, we want to give you a directional look into the first 30, 90, and 180 days on the job.
We are a startup, so the pace is fast and the specific work will change. People who thrive here are finding ways to contribute in their first week, and fully productive in their third month. You need to be okay with that.
If you think this is something you can handle, we will be excited to speak with you.

Long, multi-stakeholder cycles. Enterprise deals move through treasury, legal, compliance, procurement, and security review. You keep momentum across months and many stakeholders.
Prospects who haven’t started looking. Many future stablecoin buyers have no RFP. You build the thesis and find them first.
Blurry lanes. BD sits between sales and partnerships. You keep handoffs clean so customers see one Bastion.
Interesting versus valuable. You qualify hard and walk away from deals that don’t fit.
Custom structures. Large enterprises rarely accept standard pricing or terms. You structure deals that work for both sides.
A moving market. Regulation and competition shift fast, and a thesis that works in month one may not hold in month six.
