ABOUT AGORA
At Agora, our mission is to transform how money moves. We believe stablecoins will underpin a new financial fabric, one that is faster, more global, and more efficient than today’s siloed systems. That is why we are building AUSD and the Agora stack, a full service platform that makes issuing, managing, and integrating stablecoins seamless – whether you’re a developer, fintech, or institution. With AUSD, stablecoins become programmable, composable, and ubiquitous by default.
We believe digital dollars should be a public good: trusted, accessible, and built for real-world utility. Our mission is to drive adoption through customizable, user-friendly on-ramps that make stable, dollar-based value available on-chain.
We’re backed by world-class investors including Paradigm and Dragonfly, and we’re growing a team to reimagine how value moves online.
We're intentional about who we bring on. If you’re passionate about stablecoins and want to help create more open, intuitive ways for people to engage with money, let’s talk.
ABOUT THE TEAM
We bring the discipline of high-performance finance teams and the creativity of a fast-moving crypto-native startup. We’re a small, mission-driven group of builders who move fast, sweat the details, and hold a high bar for excellence — in product, code, and culture.
You’ll be joining a tight-knit team that values clear thinking, extreme ownership, and high-velocity decision making. We operate in short feedback loops, support one another without ego, and are deeply motivated by the opportunity to build foundational infrastructure for the future of money.
JOB SUMMARY
We are seeking a Head of Sales to spearhead our go-to-market strategy and scale Agora’s presence across fintech, banking, corporate, payments, and crypto ecosystems. This is a true player-coach role: you will drive strategic enterprise deals and high-impact partnerships, while simultaneously mentor and manage a high-performing sales and partnerships team.
Reporting to the CEO, you will define and execute a combined sales and partnership strategy by cultivating senior level relationships with decisionmakers at financial institutions, fintech platforms, exchanges, wallets, and infrastructure platforms. You’ll structure win-win collaborations, manage key accounts, and influence cross-functional alignment across the company to drive adoption and integration of AUSD and the Agora stack.
