BD & Partnerships Manager – French Speaking

In 2018, Bitvavo launched the first version of its digital assets trading platform, to bridge the gap between traditional currencies and digital assets. By offering transparent fees, a wide range of assets and an easy to use platform, Bitvavo is making the currency of the future accessible for everyone.
In two years' time, Bitvavo has established itself as the market leader in the Netherlands and one of the largest in Europe, with over one million users exchanging tens of billions of digital assets a year.
Our team, located in Amsterdam, is looking for self-driven, talented people who can help make digital assets available for everyone.

We’re looking for a commercial operator and community builder to lead retail-focused partnerships, local initiatives, and ecosystem engagement in France. You’ll play a key role in building Bitvavo’s brand presence and community connections in one of Europe’s most promising crypto markets.

You’re confident building relationships across crypto-native, fintech, and academic spaces. You understand French investor behavior, market dynamics, and competitive trends. You work cross-functionally to align product, messaging, and marketing with French-speaking audiences, combining strategic thinking with hands-on execution from France or our Amsterdam HQ.

• Local market strategy and execution: Translate Bitvavo’s growth objectives into a tailored approach for France, focused on brand visibility, trust, and community reach.

• Conference, event, and sponsorship activation: Strengthen Bitvavo’s presence at French industry events, crypto meetups, TradFi forums, and university-led initiatives. Evaluate and activate sponsorships that support awareness, reputation, and network growth.

• Ecosystem engagement: Partner with crypto clubs, DAOs, and student programmes to build trust and visibility. Organise and sponsor hackathons, side-events, and educational events to embed Bitvavo in the French crypto scene.

• Support affiliate and content initiatives: Support French-speaking affiliate and content partnerships in coordination with the affiliate team. Help identify new publishers or creators and contribute to campaign execution.

• Cross-functional collaboration and market feedback: Act as a bridge between the French market and Bitvavo teams. Share insights on local user expectations, trends, and competitive signals to refine messaging, positioning, and product direction.

• Minimum of 3 years in business development, partnerships, or community roles within crypto, fintech, or regulated B2C sectors in France.

• Experience with local partners, events, or ecosystem activations is a plus.

• Strong communication and great relationship-building skills.

• Proven ability to drive initiatives, manage multiple priorities, and align stakeholders across teams. 

• Fluency in French and English is required.

• Deep understanding of the French retail investor landscape, including crypto culture, fintech players, and regional media.

• Familiarity with affiliate, content, or creator partnerships is a plus.
