New Caledonia Market Lead

At Deblock, we are building the first bank onchain: simple, non-custodial, and human. We are looking for our New Caledonia Market Lead, the operational engine and local face of our expansion.

This isn't a role for a distant executive; it's for a hands-on builder. You will report directly to the Founders and VP of Marketing, acting as the bridge between high-level strategy and boots-on-the-ground execution. You will own the "Trust & Growth" engine for the New Caledonian market.

👀 What we are looking for

• The "Hands-On Operator" Profile: You're structured and operational by nature. You're equally comfortable building a project plan and showing up in person to get things done.
• Analytical Rigor: You don't just "have ideas", you can set clear KPIs, track them, and build the models and project plans to back them up. You are highly structured and process-driven.
• BizDev DNA: You understand how to open doors, build a local pipeline, and turn relationships into commercial partnerships on the ground in New Caledonia.
• Operational Versatility: You are as comfortable managing logistics and card distribution as you are negotiating a commercial contract.

🤩 What will make you stand out

• Local BizDev Experience: You've previously developed business or scaled a consumer/fintech product in the New Caledonian market.
• Network: You have a growing "Rolodex" of contacts across New Caledonian retail, media, and local payment or distribution platforms.

🧑‍💻 What you'll be working on

• Market Development & KPIs: Take the global playbook and localize it. You own Deblock's growth in New Caledonia, with clear KPIs and a roadmap you drive end-to-end.
• On-the-Ground Operations: Manage the local operations, from receiving our VISA cards to finding and onboarding local partners to distribute them to our customers.
• Strategic Partnerships: Identify, pitch, and close partnerships with local retailers to build the brand and feed the customer acquisition funnel.
• Trust Architecture: Lead the initiative to acquire local trust signals: building credibility with partners, consumers, and local stakeholders.
• Content & Representation: Act as Deblock's primary local face at partner meetings, community events, and in the press.

🤑 What you'll get

• Competitive salary + stock options
• The best tech for your job
• 30 days of paid holidays (excl. bank holidays)
